Recently, in order to honor the "green Olympics" of the Beijing Olympic Games, Beijing began to impose restrictions on "yellow-label cars" as environmental killers. Thereby bringing market pain to logistics enterprises. However, this is only the pain of the "yellow label car" for more than 80 days.
Changing the "yellow label" into a "green label" is by no means a sign change, but it silently blows the horn of our logistics industry upgrading and the horn of the transformation from extensive logistics to green logistics. It requires Chinese logistics enterprises to actively eliminate backward production capacity, actively use modern logistics technology and means, and take the road of sustainable development.
Olympic "Green Sword" logistics should be environmentally friendly.
"In two days, we will have a holiday to watch the Olympic Games."
On June 28th, Azhen, the proprietress of Angang Logistics in Heizhuanghu Freight Yard, Chaoyang District, teased her little daughter and talked with reporters. In the past, this time was when Jane was busy. Now, in the days when this restriction is about to be implemented, she is ready to be at leisure for a while.
As a small freight logistics company, the four trucks operated by Angang Logistics are all "yellow-label vehicles", that is to say, from July/KLOC-0 to September 20, her vehicles will have a long holiday.
Road freight enterprises like Angang Logistics are located in large and small freight stations in the suburbs of Beijing. In order to realize the "green Olympics" of the Beijing Olympic Games, the relevant departments in Beijing have carried out centralized management of yellow-label vehicles. Before the grand meeting, freight enterprises in Beijing are also experiencing a collective study.
"Yellow label" is forbidden.
In July, 20001year, Beijing applied for the Olympic Games, and the air quality was seriously monitored, with four indicators of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and inhalable particulate matter monitored every day. It is understood that there are currently more than 300,000 "yellow-label vehicles" with long service life and serious emissions exceeding the standard in Beijing.
Du Shaozhong, deputy director of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, pointed out in an interview with the media a few days ago that "yellow-label vehicles" are high-emission vehicles, which refer to vehicles with large emissions, high concentration and poor emission stability. At present, "yellow-label vehicles" account for 10% of the total number of motor vehicles in Beijing, while pollutant emissions account for 50% of the total. The pollution emission of an old "yellow label car" is equivalent to 28 times of the current new car emission standard country IV.
Because most of these cars are licensed before 1995, the exhaust emission control technology is backward, and the exhaust emission can not meet the Euro I standard, so the environmental protection department only issues yellow environmental protection signs. A green label vehicle refers to a vehicle whose exhaust emission reaches the European 1 or No.2 standard, and the environmental protection department issues a green environmental protection sign.
On June 20th, the Beijing Municipal Government issued traffic control measures for vehicles from other provinces and cities entering Beijing during the Olympic Games. 65438+From 0: 00 on July 0 to 24: 00 on September 20, vehicles with yellow environmental protection signs and inspection vehicle number plates are prohibited from driving on roads within the administrative area of Beijing. At the same time, it is forbidden for freight vehicles, tractors and other vehicles from other provinces and cities to drive on roads within the administrative area of Beijing.
The green label car that can still maintain operation today has become the beacon of Beijing freight market. In the market, the reporter found the post of "renting green label cars during the Olympic Games" and made a phone call. As soon as the "green label car" was mentioned, the staff told the reporter: "Sorry, our" green label car "has been fully booked."
Negative coping
In Beijing freight market, there are a considerable number of "yellow label vehicles" engaged in logistics services. The restriction policy during the Olympic Games also made these logistics companies consider ways to deal with it.
Hao Xiaofei, general manager of Sanchuan Shuntong Logistics Company, told reporters that in fact, they basically knew the news from the beginning of 2008. Because most of the company's vehicles are yellow-label vehicles, all businesses that need to be sent to Beijing have already greeted customers in advance and taken other measures to deal with them.
"For example, the distribution contract between the company and Mengniu expired in March this year. Considering the Olympic factors, it has not been renewed for the time being. However, we are not worried about losing important customers. After all, the Olympic Games is short-lived and our cooperation is long-term. " Hao Xiaofei said.
However, the flexibility of a small freight company like Angang Logistics is probably much worse. The proprietress, Jane, said, "Where can I find business elsewhere at once? Moreover, after more than 80 days, we will continue to serve these old customers. "
However, Yuan Yun, manager of Beijing Xinbang Logistics Company, also told reporters that some of his colleagues are also considering that vehicles are prohibited from being transferred in surrounding areas such as Beijing and Hebei. There is no doubt that the logistics cost has increased, but for some customers, it is acceptable to spend more money in this special period.
More often, customers of logistics companies choose to increase their inventory two or three months ago to cope with the turnover during the Olympic Games. Yuan Yun said that the warehouse of Angang Logistics is still full of goods, which have not been transported by foreign vehicles.
Emergency upgrade
As early as 2000, China began to implement strict automobile emission standards, requiring gasoline vehicles to be equipped with EFI engines and three-way catalytic converters; Diesel engines must be equipped with superchargers and improved fuel injection pumps. In order to ensure that the vehicle meets the emission limit requirements stably in use, and ensure the durability of vehicle emission control performance, the national III standard increases the requirements for on-board diagnostic system (OBD) and in-use vehicle compliance. According to the characteristics of vehicle fuel in China, the fuel specifications suitable for the national conditions are stipulated.
However, among the numerous transport fleets of logistics enterprises, it seems that there are very few that can really achieve high efficiency, high intact rate, low fuel consumption and low pollution.
At present, medium-sized logistics vehicles with a load of about 5 tons and a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour still account for a large proportion in China, and most of them are convertibles. The proportion of heavy trucks, vans, semi-trailers and special vehicles with large tonnage is still relatively low, which affects the improvement of logistics efficiency and the reduction of costs to some extent.
Wang Honglei, who once worked in several logistics and transportation companies, told reporters: "The companies I have worked for are basically open trucks or their own modified trailers. It's time to upgrade. "
But the reality is that only large transport enterprises have the ability to speed up the upgrading of transport tools. Wu Jingli of a large logistics transportation company said: "Smaller logistics enterprises don't have so much money to replace new cars, and small enterprises with substandard models need time to transform."
The introduction of the Olympic Games "yellow label car" ban policy is undoubtedly a profound test for freight company bosses who don't care about the environmental performance of vehicles-the era of green logistics has arrived.
For logistics enterprises, actively responding to the challenges brought by climate change is the fundamental idea to fulfill corporate social responsibility and achieve the goal of sustainable development. Many international logistics enterprises have also begun to increase energy conservation and emission reduction. For example, DHL plans to expand the "DHL Green Express" service to 65,438+07 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region this year. In this value-added service, DHL will calculate the carbon emissions of each express delivery process, and reduce and offset the carbon emissions in global express delivery by reinvesting in related carbon management projects, such as automobile alternative fuel technology, solar panels and reforestation.
Although it will take some time to realize the practice, the concept of "green label car" may have been deeply rooted in people's hearts since the Olympic Games.
Jane, the proprietress of Angang Logistics Company, may have realized that green logistics is becoming more and more popular.
