Comparative analysis of railway transportation and highway transportation?

After sending your wine to Haikou this time, we have completed the transformation from road transportation to railway transportation. After careful analysis of the whole process, we found that railway transportation and highway transportation have their own advantages and disadvantages. After consulting Zhong Da, the detailed analysis is as follows:

Advantages and disadvantages of railway transportation;

1. Railway transportation has the advantages of strong adaptability, large transportation capacity, sustainable operation and no climate influence.

The cost of railway transportation is much lower than that of road transportation. The cost of transporting Gui Jun wine in Haikou by rail last time was less than that by road 153 10 yuan, and the transportation cost was reduced by 54.7%.

Railway transportation needs to be transferred from our company to the railway station, and another car is needed, which increases the workload and risk factor.

4. Railway transportation involves many cooperative companies and complicated intermediate procedures. The companies involved are railway departments, container companies and logistics service companies. The invoice issued by the railway department is in the form of freight ticket, including railway freight, porter's tip, public security fee, cargo insurance fee, container company agency fee, etc.

5. Due to the limitation of routes and freight stations, railway transportation has poor mobility and flexibility, and the waiting time is relatively long. It takes 12 days for the last batch of Haikou Gui Jun wine to reach the distributor from the factory. If you don't cross the sea, the time from the delivery of the train to the arrival of the goods is about 7 days, and the waiting time is generally about 10 days.

6. The railway transportation of goods can only reach the local railway station, and the dealers need to pick up the goods themselves, so it is impossible to realize "door-to-door" direct transportation.

7. Short-distance transportation costs in railway transportation are relatively high, and the transportation costs will be settled after the goods are sent out, and they cannot be defaulted.

Advantages and disadvantages of highway transportation;

1. Road transportation is flexible and adaptable: because the road transportation network is generally ten times denser than the railway and widely distributed, road transportation vehicles can be "everywhere, all the time". Highway transportation is also flexible in time, and vehicles can be dispatched at any time, with short connection time between each link and strong adaptability to freight volume.

2. Road transportation can realize "door-to-door" direct transportation: due to the small size of the car, it is generally not necessary to change clothes halfway. In addition to running along the widely distributed road network, you can also leave the road network and go deep into factories, enterprises, urban residents' houses and other places, that is, goods can be transported directly from the gate of origin to the gate of destination, realizing "door-to-door" direct transportation. This is one of the characteristics that other modes of transportation are inferior to road transportation.

3. Road transportation is faster in short-distance transportation: In short-distance transportation, because road transportation can realize "door-to-door" direct transportation, goods can be transported directly to the destination without transshipment, so compared with other modes of transportation, the transit time of goods is shorter and the transportation speed is faster.

4. The cost of long-distance road transportation is high: the cost of long-distance transportation is twice or even higher than that of railway transportation.

5. Low safety factor of highway transportation: In the long-distance transportation process, many factors such as weather, road conditions and human activities have a safety impact on the cargo transportation process.

To sum up, in view of our existing market area, it can be summarized as the following two items for reference.

Hunan, Henan, Zhou Su market and Foshan are suitable for road transportation, that is, Ande Logistics. The cost of taking Ande logistics in these areas is similar to that of railway transportation, and it can be transported directly with fast arrival time.

Haikou and Yunnan can be transported by rail when customers accept the delivery and the delivery time is long. This line in Haikou has basically taken shape. As for the goods sent from Yunnan route to Kunming, they are all over 35 tons. In the past, Ande Logistics was used, and the freight tonnage price was 570 yuan, while the freight per ton of railway wagons was about 3 10 yuan, the freight per ton of containers was 370 yuan, and the freight from the new factory to Yueyang was 60 yuan. The freight from Yunnan Railway Station to the dealer is 70 yuan per ton, which adds up to 500 yuan per ton. In this way, the transportation cost saves 70 yuan per ton, but it needs to be reversed twice in the middle, which will increase the risk brought by handling, and the transit time is about 7 days longer than that of the highway. Considering the cost alone, it is cost-effective to use the railway, which can save about 13% of the transportation cost. However, considering the convenience, it will be much more convenient to transport by highway, and customers will accept direct flights more easily.

The above is the comparative analysis of railway transportation and highway transportation by Construction Network. If you want to know more about highways, please pay attention to the architectural knowledge column of Zhong Da Consulting.
