Blue card light trucks are getting more and more difficult. What kind of car sho

Posted by bruce zhu on April 7th, 2022

With the rapid development of the intra-city/inter-city freight industry, the market demand for urban distribution vehicles is increasing. With the implementation of the new blue card policy on March 1 and the increased supervision of \"passenger and cargo\" vehicles in some areas, will the demand for howo vehicles in the urban distribution transportation market change?

Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Traffic Law Enforcement Department has begun to vigorously rectify the violation of passenger and cargo transportation, and has also interviewed several online freight platforms, requiring the suspension of \"passenger and cargo\" illegal freight vehicles, all orders will be stopped, and accounts will be banned. continue to operate. As the market becomes more and more strict with the supervision of heavy-duty light trucks and \"passenger-to-cargo\" models in some regions, will compliant closed-box cargo emerge suddenly?

Because the van is small, flexible and cheap, it can enter the city within 24 hours and can be placed on the high rack. In order to save money and trouble, many people disassemble the rear seat of the van and use it as a truck to deliver community group purchases. , supermarket and department store transportation and other scenarios. This phenomenon is what we commonly call \"passenger cargo\". However, the act of \"carrying passengers and cargo\" is not allowed.

However, due to the lack of supervision in many areas, in the past two years, the use of such models in platforms such as Lala has been common. Recently, the Shanghai area has begun to increase the supervision of this model. It is understood that the interviewees include multiple freight platforms such as Huo Lala, Didi Freight, and Kuaigou Taxi, which means that these freight platforms will stop illegally in the future. Modified closed vans and vans will join in, and at the same time, vehicles that do not meet the freight standards will be cleaned up on the platform.

The investigation and punishment of passengers and cargo in Shanghai this time also symbolizes a signal of the country\'s regulation of market compliance. In the future, the integration of urban distribution and transportation market planning will be the general trend. Both heavy-duty light trucks or \"passenger-cargo\" will be banned and eliminated.

In addition, the new light truck specification has also made parameters for these vehicles (vans / illegally modified light passenger products).

First of all, in terms of length, the regulations clearly require that the length of small and micro passenger vehicles should be less than 5.5 meters, and the longitudinal length of the luggage area of ??vehicles with a total length of 5 meters or more should be less than or equal to 1.5 meters.

In addition, there are strict regulations on the interior space of the vehicle and the arrangement of the seats, which can only be operated in accordance with the corresponding folding methods in the technical specifications, and it is even more impossible to remove the seats.

Therefore, when card lovers choose this type of product, they must not be confused by the propaganda points such as the large cargo box space, and open their eyes to choose a compliant model. After all, the seat of a passenger car cannot be disassembled and reversed, and the length of the car is also limited. Even if the seat is not seated, the cargo space behind the seat is stretched and embarrassingly useful.

So what other compliant products can we choose for community group purchases and short-term transportation in cities? Recently, many manufacturers have launched some closed cargo products, such as JAC\'s Xingrui PLUS, Changan Automobile\'s Xingka PLUS, and JMC\'s Teshun, Transit and other products.

Although closed-cargo products have unique right-of-way advantages when operating in urban areas, for markets with slightly longer transportation routes and higher total quality of goods, light truck products are still needed. Therefore, no matter how the policy develops, as long as light truck products cannot freely enter and exit the city, light trucks and closed box cargo are still well-watered, although they are all aimed at urban distribution and transportation, but there are still essential differences in the subdivisions.

Looking at the international city distribution and transportation market, we can actually find a very interesting phenomenon. In Europe, most of the vehicles operating in the urban distribution and transportation market are VAN vehicles, while in Asian countries such as China, Japan and South Korea, light trucks are the main vehicles. The reasons for this are nothing more than two factors, environmental factors and policies. factor.

Since most Europeans are taller, in terms of driving comfort, VAN vehicles and closed box cargo products are more likely to meet the needs of European card lovers; on the other hand, EU trucks are classified into N1 category (3.5 tons Below), N2 category (3.5 tons to 12 tons) and N3 category (above 12 tons), N1 category and N2 category have great differences in product technical regulations, operating time, product configuration and other requirements, the total mass of VAN vehicles is large. Some of them are concentrated below 3.5 tons, and the technical regulations for products are biased towards the management and control requirements of cars, and are not as strict as the corresponding requirements for N2 class trucks. In addition, the distance between cities and towns in European countries is not particularly long, and VAN can easily meet their transportation needs. Therefore, in Europe, the proportion of VAN in commercial vehicles is very high.

Regardless of objective reasons or subjective conditions, the advantages of VAN vehicles in Europe are indeed greater. However, because our Chinese people are relatively slender, the space requirements for vehicle driving are relatively less stringent.

At the same time, before the \"big ton and small standard\" incident, 2-axle light trucks did have a very big \"advantage\". In addition, China, as a big agricultural country, has a vast territory, long distances between cities and urban and rural areas, and green transportation. When passing other goods, the battery life and load quality of VAN vehicles cannot meet the car needs of card lovers.

However, with the implementation of the Blue Label New Deal on March 1 and the country\'s increasing efforts to investigate and punish passengers and cargo, the use of urban distribution transportation products will become more and more clear. The status quo that vans have more loading quality than light trucks will gradually improve, and the positioning of products will be gradually clarified with the strengthening of supervision and supplementary policies. Each market will operate in an orderly manner, and the use of vehicles in various sub-scenarios will be fully available. I believe this is the best outcome for the urban distribution transportation market.
