Tiero reform the first gun, can bring more convenient service to consumers?

Netizen "Iron old":

reported that from 1st next month, China Railway Express will be in Harbin, Beijing, Zhengzhou and other 20 cities to start the day up, the next day Tatsu, Zhe up to three high iron express business. High-speed rail to join the ranks of the express, this is not to bring consumers more convenient service? Can the pattern of express industry change?

Tencent Technology:

High-speed Express is Tiero reform of the first gun, the rapid delivery of high-speed rail express business, rail freight is a comprehensive move to the market one of the landing measures.

One of the most obvious advantages of high-speed rail is speed, which runs at a rate of 250-350 km/h, much faster than a car. Consumers with high Iron express services can receive the goods they buy in a shorter period of time.

However, the comprehensive view, high-speed express is not yet a challenge to the entire industry pattern of power. There are three main reasons:

Low starting point

Railway freight has always been the advantage of commodity transport, express business development. Data show that the domestic express transport business 80% is the use of vehicle transport, 15% is air transport, relying on railways and other tools of the business accounted for less than 5%, the starting point is relatively low.

High-speed Express is only a link in the whole logistics system, other links such as door-to-door service must be matched with it. However, due to the lack of information input, the national distribution system is not perfect, the entire railway Express "door-to-door" business volume is less.

For private courier companies, renting a high-speed truck requires a redesign of the lines and outlets that drive up the cost of their operations. And because of institutional reasons, similar to the Chinese railway express such a "pro-son" in the high-speed rail freight resources have a clear advantage. Private courier companies are hard to get "a cup of soup."

Second, "Pain point" more

At present, there are two main high-speed express delivery mode, one is to use the "Pathfinder car" for consignment, that is, the first high-speed rail line opened every day, this train is not carrying passengers, is used to check the safety of the line situation. This bus can be used for point-to-point single transport.

Another way is to use a specific EMU for high rail passenger transport, to achieve the object in a specific range of dual transportation, one day to arrive.

It is not hard to see that the limitations of both approaches are obvious. Including the number of trains that can be used for high Iron Express, and the location and time of transportation.

Such a model is more suitable for a small number of high-end business express, not to the entire E-commerce network to buy express form a strong support.

At the same time, the speed of the train station is very short, the cargo connection is more difficult, and the carriage is not designed for freight, which will lead to inefficient loading and unloading, which can lead to delay.

If the high-speed express can not form the scale effect, it is difficult to impact the current network shopping Express industry pattern.

Third, facing the benefit choice

The railway transportation Company, which is a former Iron road, is the main operator of express delivery. After the reform of railway freight transport, China Railway Express from the railroad professional transportation company to become a pure logistics enterprise, and "Four Tong one Tatsu" and other private express company competition, both sides became competitors. But to promote the development of the entire high-speed express, in addition to competition, cooperation is also essential.

For example, in door-to-door service, private courier enterprises occupy a clear advantage, if the short term, Tiero subordinate logistics companies can not establish a perfect network layout, and at the same time refused to cooperate with private enterprises, it is likely to lead to high-speed express the development of slow, or even stagnation.

However, even if the two sides are interested in working together to explore a set of mutually acceptable mode of cooperation, we need both sides to clear their own interests and make trade-offs, not in the short term can be achieved. Rising）
