Express logistics features: volume and aging are important
At the 2014 Logistics and Transport Vehicles Summit Forum held in November last year, Cao Rui, Director of the China Postal Express Courier Equipment Division, introduced the development of the express delivery industry and specifically pointed out the characteristics of the express delivery vehicle: the cargo space is more important than the load-carrying tonnage. important. Heavy-duty vehicle network Xiao Bian also learned from the truck drivers of some express carriers that the goods carried by the courier tractors were not actually heavy. As the proportion of online shopping increased year by year, small-size goods became the most important goods for express delivery, and the trailers were full. Also 10 tons. In the case of the same trailer in the express delivery industry, the economy of the 4x2 tractor is undoubtedly higher than that of the 6x2 tractor.
In addition to volume, timeliness is also a point of emphasis in the express logistics industry. Online shopping has become an indispensable part of many people's lives. Everyone hopes to receive the goods the next day. As a result, all major express logistics companies began to work hard on timeliness. In addition to remote areas, all major cities in the country require that they must arrive within the specified time. In certain special periods, such as after the Double 11 and the Spring Festival holiday, how to digest the backlog of goods in a short period of time also reflects the importance of timeliness.
However, in the tractors currently sold in China, 6x4 domestic tractors account for a large proportion, while imported tractors are the majority of the 6x2 rear axles. However, these tractors target groups. It is a rich and diverse logistics customer. Their common feature is the need for lightweight models that can load as much cargo as possible with a total cargo weight of 55 tons. From the characteristics of express vehicles mentioned earlier, we can see that the 6x2 tractor is not the best model for express logistics, but its own weight is hundreds of kilograms more than a single-bridge tractor, plus an additional axle for the tractor. Contact with the ground, tire wear and vehicle fuel consumption will be higher than the same quality 4x2 single-bridge trailer. It is this fancy point that some truck manufacturers have specifically launched 4x2 tractors suitable for user configuration for express logistics in recent years, and are sought after by many express delivery companies.
As the most popular tractor brand on the market today, Volvo Trucks has been highly sought after since the launch of the new FM/FH truck last year. In terms of express logistics vehicles, Volvo is mainly responsible for the FM370/FM420 and FH420 single-bridge tractors. Quanfeng Express was established in November 2010. After three years of development, the brand has become a dark horse company in the express industry. From last year, the company began bulk purchase of Volvo single-bridge tractors. According to Guangzhou Volvo truck dealers, a group of Volvo's new FM4x2 tractors purchased by Quanfeng early in the year were officially put into use during the double 11 period last year. In the past few months, both the driver and the company have been very satisfied with the use of the car. Then a new batch of new FH4204x2 tractors was ordered, which will be put into use after the Spring Festival. Liu Wei, vice president of Quanfeng Express said that the purchase of Volvo's vehicles will be an important part of the overall distribution strategy. 
The Scania single-bridge tractor, as the preferred brand of SF Import trucks, has also become a new bright spot in the express delivery industry. The operation of the G3804x2 tractors purchased earlier by SF Express has been very effective for several years. This year, Scania focused on the P360 and G400 single-bridge tractors for the express delivery industry. Among them, P360 is mainly aimed at the transportation range of about 800 kilometers, single fuel tank, single sleeper, but still retains the Opticurice AMT tiptronic gearbox, rear axle air suspension, disc brakes and other configurations. The G400 is even more luxurious, and it is worth mentioning that the G4004x2 tractor was specially introduced in the active safety upgrade version of Scania's 50th anniversary this year. A series of high-tech safety configurations make the car become safer. 
Mercedes-Benz trucks displayed their "Express Star" Actros 18414x2 tractors for the first time at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November last year. This model specially designed for express logistics uses a low chassis. The height of the saddle from the ground is only 1029mm. Mercedes-Benz trucks claim that the cargo volume will increase by 12%. The key to reduce the chassis is low flat tires and air suspension.
Due to the timeliness requirements are very high. Courier vehicles often need high speeds at high speeds. Although it is good to meet the timeliness, it is best able to reflect the safety of the vehicle when the emergency stops. Among the three branded courier tractors mentioned above, disc brakes are standard on all models, while Volvo's standard VEB and Scania G400's hydraulic retarder are all used to control the speed when driving downhill. good helper.
Today, the rapid development of e-commerce has the effect of boosting the use of express vehicles. With the reshuffle of the express delivery industry, the survival of the fittest has achieved sound development in the industry. And how to get a piece of cake in this market segment, in addition to excellent products, marketing and after-sales is also what customers care about.
