In the middle of the year to promote the smoke has not yet dispersed, the electrical business on the "National Day Big Promotion", "double 11" of the "war" has been in the planning. As the logistical support of the electric business War, the logistics industry is also fighting again, and this time "Tiero" will join the melee.
From July 1 onwards, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen will be opened between 3 to 6 to one station Direct Express electric business class column. In the private express fight Fierce "electric dealer" market, in the past, "commodities" mainly in the railway freight transport intervention, this is the first time in the history of railways.
Soon after, a list of trucks filled with nets to buy small parcels, will be from the middle and small sellers of one of the most crowded city of Guangzhou, a stop to open to one of the most purchasing power of the city of Beijing, for the smoke of the electric business war to add power.
"It is expected that the future of the railway to express the source of the pioneering efforts will continue to increase the pressure on domestic air transport." "China Southern Airlines (15.11,-0.02,-0.13%) Co., Ltd. Freight department Jiangwenden said. And in the past by air and car pack small parcel express business, or will face challenges.
Test of hydroelectric business class
These days, turn on the computer, no matter what website, the first to jump into the eyes of most of the "Year in the big promotion" of the ads. Electric business big guys are full of promotions, "parity, let" the slogan early release, fully screen "buy, Seconds kill, return" words, opened a field "consumption feast."
Such a wide range of promotional promotions, the middle of the year, the end of one is indispensable. Originally ordinary shop celebrates and originally ordinary "Singles Day" all became the electric business enterprise to carry on the large-scale discount promotion activity the shopping carnival. 2013 "Double 11" Taobao total sales of 35.018 billion yuan, turnover exceeded 100 million in 55 seconds, up to 1 billion only 6 minutes 7 seconds.
And behind such numbers is the growth of hundreds of millions of express packets rolling. National Post Office figures show that the first quarter of this year, the National Courier Service business volume completed 2.6 billion, an increase of 51.9% per cent, the increase is strong.
However, so far, "Tiero" has been absent from the electric business feast, aircraft and road transport is always the main battlefield of courier packets.
"Rail freight has always been dominated by commodities, with little postal packages, and losses in this area are not insignificant," he said. A person close to the iron general told the Huaxia Times.
It is understood that the electric Business express train will take and social courier company to send the line, with Direct express train, to make up for the original ordinary train transport speed problems, so that the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River delta manufacturing within 24 hours arrived in the capital market. Its timeliness, price between high-speed express and ordinary freight.
"Compared to aviation, the cost is relatively low, catch up with the ' double 11 ' and so on online shopping activities, the traffic volume is far more than air." Advantages or some, if the early operation of the 6-column electric train effect outstanding, later on the line and shift will be more abundant. The person close to the iron general said.
For the Express company, with "Tiero" hand has always been a longing. Last October, Shen Tong Express Company proposed this year will be opened in Beijing and Shanghai between the train. "Compared to aviation, Railway Express has a great advantage, low cost, unaffected by the weather, punctuality rate, but the railway resources are too difficult to get, especially for our private companies." "Shentong related to the media said. To date, Shentong's cooperation with the railways has been limited to renting one to two wagons on a regular basis.
However, Shentong will soon be able to make maximum use of railway resources. Compared with the previous freight, the electric business train adopts one-stop direct transportation mode, which will shorten the transportation time greatly.
In fact, the idea of "electric business Train" has been circling for a long time within the total iron. However, the total rail to the electric business Express is always more cautious. The electric business train, shift and start site are "test water" ingredients heavier, the choice of North Canton Deep Four express delivery volume in the country ranked the forefront, minimize the operating risk, its exclusive is also conducive to the owner of the delivery.
Li Lei, the railway industry analyst, the electric business train is not only the result of the development of market power, but also the railway corporation under the pressure of market-oriented reform. As a part of the whole process of the electrical business logistics, the electric business train, in addition to cooperating with the Express company, may try to cooperate directly with the electric business. In this way, not only the quantity of goods is guaranteed, but also the number of electric dealers can be increased greatly.
The melee of the logistics industry
This is not the first time the railroad has explored the express business.
April 1, the rapid delivery of high-speed rail express service, the day Tatsu, Zhe Tatsu, the next day up to three products debut. However, due to price and market positioning, the effect is not satisfactory.
According to the director of the China Railway Express Harbin area, the region's high Iron Express since April opened nearly 1 months later, a total of only sent more than 200, on average, only 8 pieces per day.
A "Tongda" Courier said that the march into the express market has been considered the general trend of rail freight, but now open high-speed express can let the market satisfaction, still in the groping stage. More just a kind of express form of rich and exist.
But in the market friction, the future shape of high-speed express is believed to be more diversified. It is said that China Railway Express is to push for cheaper economic parts.
By contrast, electric-business trains are considered "more grounded".
For a long time, rail freight has been mainly sourced from commodities such as ore, steel and coal. In the opinion of most industry personage, the short-based freight market, is in the reform and the transformation of iron in general, is very necessary. Iron Total released the May freight data show that the national railway freight total delivery completed 1.58 billion tons, down 3.07%, of which the volume of shipments completed 1.579 billion tons, down 2.95%. This is in contrast to the express growth of the state post office.
Last May, the whole road freight reform conference, the General party secretary of Iron, general manager Sheng in particular the rapid development of social express business figures, and railway freight mass shipments of the frequent decline in comparison, emphasizing the whole society transport demand structure has undergone major changes.
"One-stop direct express electric business class, showing the railway on the electrical goods, such as courier supplies more attention." In fact, railway transportation, especially high-speed railway transport development of the express market still has more advantages. The overall transport time of high-speed railway and air transport will not have a significant gap, or even faster. Compared with air transport, the weather factors are less affected. The standard of railway freight transport is lower than air transport, which is advantageous to the improvement of operation efficiency. The network is becoming more and more perfect, convenient express cargo transportation. "Jiangwenden said.
In fact, railway transportation into the express market, there are many problems. In Jiangwenden's view, in terms of hardware, railway cargo has long been dominated by bulk cargo transport, so there are mainly ordinary train transport, timeliness advantage is not fully played, and the high-speed railway running on the design of the main passenger transport, did not consider freight factors, not convenient freight operation, at the same time in the train station also lack of cargo handling site. In the software, the railway freight department has a strong monopoly system, the lack of efficiency of cargo business management, the enthusiasm for new market expansion is limited.
Even within the total iron insiders, it is also believed that short-term delivery of small packets of air and road transport is still the world.
However, with the spread of the network, especially in the special high-speed railway freight cars, freight station construction, Service flow transformation solution, and even the development of high-speed express trains, Railway Express will be expected to form a more significant growth of air freight express transport to form a certain diversion.
"Especially the ' double 11 ' shopping festival, in a short period of time to express the number of dozens of times times growth, the capacity is a great test." At this time the railway's capacity advantage is reflected. These advantages we can all feel in this year's ' Double 11 '. "A staff member of Guangzhou Cargo Center said.
After the scale of railway transportation, the postal parcel can not only increase railway revenue, reduce railway capital pressure, but also improve railway transport structure, increase the proportion of ' white goods ', make the railway transportation more grounded, and at the same time flatten the macroscopic influence. The person close to the iron general said.
