Three rounds of electricity in Tianjin

The three-wheeled ban has been expanded. From May 1, Tianjin began to completely ban illegal motorized tricycles on the road. Electric tricycles that are used in large quantities in the express delivery industry can no longer be hit by this impact. According to a person in charge of a large express delivery company in Tianjin, the end-of-line express delivery after three-wheel-drive bans is facing difficulties. The pressure on a few urban centre outlets is huge, and it has faced problems such as backlog of shipments. However, in the absence of a clear alternative vehicle, enterprises only Can take a wait-and-see attitude.

According to the latest regulations issued by Tianjin, the motorized tricycle that has no motor vehicle number plate will be detained after May 1st, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. At the same time, it is forbidden to use motorized tricycles for passenger and cargo transportation operations. In addition to the provision of vehicles, temporary vehicles are temporarily prohibited. Buckle will also face a fine of 30,000-100,000 yuan.

After the regulations are implemented, the express delivery industry will undoubtedly face tremendous influence. Statistics show that as of the beginning of the year, there are about 4320 electric tricycles being used in the Tianjin express industry. The person in charge of the above-mentioned express delivery company stated that at present, enterprises can only deliver express shipments through the combination of automobiles and bicycles and two-wheeled electric vehicles, but individual outlets have begun to accumulate express shipments and are increasing their delivery capacity. In the eyes of people in the industry, this ban will have a huge impact on the Tianjin express delivery industry in the short term, especially when there is a small peak in express delivery during the May 1st period. It is understood that there are hundreds of thousands of daily express delivery services throughout Tianjin.

Affected by this, a number of express delivery companies have begun to add electric two-wheeled vehicles, which currently have about 1,000 vehicles. However, the average daily dispatch of an electric tricycle is 120-150 pieces, and only half of the electric two-wheeled vehicles are used. To this end, express delivery companies are also increasing their staff and reducing the service radius. In addition, the person in charge of the above-mentioned express delivery company pointed out that at present, the two-wheeled electric vehicles that have been transformed and delivered expressly also face the risk of seizure.

Vehicle problems have become a weakness in the development of the entire express delivery industry. Prior to this, Nanchang, Shanghai and other cities had already stopped electric tricycles. The person in charge of the above express delivery company stated that at present, there are strong restrictions on goods vehicles, especially foreign licenses, within the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing. However, many transshipment centers for express delivery companies are located between the Fifth Ring and the Sixth Ring Road. Express delivery companies face many difficulties in their operations. During the "two sessions" this year, the CPPCC members proposed to set up courier "special vehicles" for express train problems.

As early as the beginning of the ban earlier this year, major express delivery companies in Tianjin have repeatedly submitted written materials to relevant departments to reflect the situation. Related departments in Tianjin also contacted relevant companies to research and develop new small energy containers that specifically meet the needs of express delivery. The first batch of 35 new energy vehicles will be put into use one after another. The small cargo container new energy vehicle container volume is 1 cubic meter, can place about 60 pieces of express mail, but this is only a small sum of money for the courier industry's huge demand.

In view of the relevant industry, the current new energy vehicles are also facing many problems, in addition to the lack of corresponding supporting facilities such as charging piles, the company does not have enough courier drivers with driver's license, express delivery costs will increase.

Xu Yong, chief consultant of Express Consulting Network, said that in the face of the “last mile” distribution problem, in addition to the government’s clearing of policies, express delivery companies should also strengthen model innovation. At present, many express delivery companies such as Shunfeng and Yunda are also actively exploring cooperation with convenience stores and properties in order to solve the “last mile” problem in the express delivery industry.
