Logistics express industry looks forward to new opportunities

On June 26, the Beijing Guangzhou high speed railway was officially put into operation. The reporter of Yangcheng Evening News learned that after the operation of Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway, Guangdong express enterprises have tried to test the high-speed railway express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha.

The person in charge of a well-known private express enterprise in Guangzhou told the reporter that at present, about 80% of express delivery is transported by road, and about 15% by air. In fact, high-speed rail has advantages over highways in terms of timeliness and cost. After the opening and operation of the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway, many node cities in the middle are areas with strong demand for express services, with a large space.

It is understood that in the middle of December, the State Post Office, the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the national development and Reform Commission and the China Express association formed a joint research group to conduct field research on express enterprises using high-speed rail to transport express mails in Guangdong Province.

In addition to the express industry, traditional logistics industries such as bulk commodity transportation are 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. Data show that after the opening of Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway alone, the freight capacity of Beijing Guangzhou railway has increased by 10.9%, which has improved the transportation demand of coal, oil, grain and other key materials with limited transport capacity for a long time and foreign trade freight of Hong Kong and Macao.
