The logistics express industry looks forward to new opportunities
On the 26th, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway was officially put into operation. The reporter of Yangcheng Evening News learned that after the operation of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway, Guangdong express companies have tested the high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha. Now the opening of the Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway will bring new opportunities to China's logistics and express industry.
"Before the opening of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, there was high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha." The head of a well-known private express enterprise in Guangzhou told the reporter that at present, about 80% of express transportation is by road, and about 15% by air. In fact, high-speed rail has advantages over highway in terms of timeliness and cost. After the opening and operation of Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway, many node cities in the middle are areas with strong demand for express services, and there is a lot of space.
It is understood that in the middle of December, the National Post Office, the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission and the China Express Association formed a joint research team to carry out field research on the use of high-speed rail transport express by express enterprises in Guangdong Province.
In addition to the express industry, traditional logistics industries such as bulk commodity transportation are also expected to benefit from the opening of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway and the improvement of the freight capacity of the Beijing-Guangzhou line. The data shows that after the opening of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway alone, the freight capacity of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway has increased by 10.9%, which has improved the transportation demand of key materials such as coal, oil, grain, and foreign trade freight of Hong Kong and Macao with limited long-term transportation capacity.
