Olympic Games Limited Helps Commercial Vehicle Industry Upgrade


In order to guarantee the success of the Beijing Olympics, the Beijing Municipal Government has stipulated that Beijing will hold a yellow environmental protection sign, a vehicle with a test vehicle number plate, and other provinces, districts and cities in Beijing from 0:00 on July 1 to 4:00 on September 20. Motor vehicles (including temporary license plate vehicles) adopt restricted-line measures.

In Beijing, the “yellow-marked vehicles” with high concentrations, excessive emissions, and longer periods of time account for 10% of the total number of motor vehicles in Beijing, with a total number of more than 300,000 vehicles. The restrictions on the “Yellow Label Car” implemented from July 1 to September 20 caused a significant impact on the Beijing freight market, which was dominated by the “Yellow Label Car”.

Recently, the reporter visited the freight market of Dagua Village in Fengtai District. Compared with the noisy and noisy scene before the restricted line market, the current depressing situation can indeed be regarded as the “ice and fire”. The reporter turned a half circle in the market before seeing a middle-aged woman in a private house. When asked why the market was so deserted, middle-aged women reluctantly said that the traffic control department sent a supervisor to the market, saying that the market Most of the trucks did not meet the emission standards and could not get on the road during the Olympics. At this time, the car owners either went for other jobs or returned home.

Cargo markets such as Dagua Village, dominated by small-scale transport companies, are scattered throughout the suburbs of Beijing. In order to deliver on the promise of the "Green Olympics" for the Beijing Olympics, small freight companies in Beijing are experiencing a "labor pain."

So, what kind of car is Beijing's inter-city logistics now? - "Green standard car." The green standard car refers to vehicles whose emissions have reached Euro I or Euro II standards and are issued by the environmental protection department to the green logo. Most of the "green-labeled vehicles" are medium and large-sized freight companies with strong capabilities. These enterprises have laid out in advance according to government regulations to ensure the normal operation of enterprises during the Olympic Games. When a reporter consults a car on the freight network as a client, he is told that the “green car” has already been set up before it is finished. It seems that the logistics market is not a piece of sigh.

However, in the logistics fleet of logistics companies, it is rare that they can truly achieve high efficiency, high soundness, low fuel consumption, and low pollution. At present, domestic logistics uses a low-speed motor vehicle with a load of about 5 tons and a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, which also accounts for a large proportion. Most of these are flatbed vehicles. The proportion of large-tonnage heavy-duty vehicles, vans, semi-trailers, and special-purpose vehicles is still relatively low, which affects the improvement of logistics efficiency and the reduction of costs to a certain extent.

Hu Rong, who has served in several truck sales companies and is now the business manager of Beijing Boda Fourth Ring Economic and Trade Co., Ltd., told reporters: “In the trucks I sold, flat trucks accounted for the majority. The car ran up and followed all the way. Smoky, it should be upgraded."

However, the reality is that only large transport companies have the ability to speed up the upgrading of transportation tools. Xu, a manager of a large logistics transportation company, said: "Smaller logistics companies don't have so much money to replace new vehicles. Their transformation will take time."

The promulgation of the Olympic “Yellow Label Car” prohibition policy will undoubtedly face a severe test for freight companies that do not care about the environmental performance of vehicles. The concept of "green logistics" is gradually deepening. This "yellow car", "bitter", "green car" and "savory" may play an important role in the upgrading of the commercial vehicle industry.
