The development trend of China's whole-vehicle logistics

Judgment 1: passenger car transportation resource control tends to concentrate, the resources in the several major management providers in the swap

1 , the whole car transportation resources are controlled by logistics management providers.

With the white-hot competition in the automobile market, automobile manufacturers to pursue the benefits of the expectations of the whole process along with the extension of the supply chain, for the Q, C, D, M, S concept of the identity of the host plant to take joint ventures or holdings in the logistics management business model to focus on the vehicle transportation resources, and to seek the benefits of the potential to tap. The essence of logistics is "intensification + informatization", and scale effect can be achieved through intensification. Therefore, the scattered transportation contracting market in the past was controlled by the management company which is related to the OEM. They are experts in the field of logistics, they know more about the use of contracting, through the management of the control of service quality, reduce operational risk.

2, the actual business of the whole truck transportation will be high management technology, large-scale large companies control.

The past years, China's automotive logistics concept has been marked by vehicle logistics, vehicle logistics business has bred the transportation of the physical management of the business and the operator, and the newly created, the aforementioned automotive logistics management business most of the transportation capacity, transportation of the physical is still relying on outsourcing, they are concerned about the process of transportation, the effect of the contracting conditions make the contracting conditions are more rational, and will be shifted to the focus on some internal management tools, quality control capabilities, the first-hand resource control. , quality control capabilities, first-hand resource control, convective resource network optimization and other aspects of the transport enterprise has laid the foundation. A large number of small and medium-sized transporters as business operators, no matter from that point of view are weak, facing the local area of first-hand resource temptation, the overall scope of the convective unprotected embarrassing situation, either out of the game, or joint, become the bearer of the specific transportation business. Small to medium-sized logistics providers, and large logistics providers, or medium-sized and medium-sized joint, and ultimately inevitably form a few regional or brand for the background of the transportation operations leader, they are through the cooperation between the major logistics companies (convection or resource exchange), leading the system of enterprises through the integration of resource allocation, to solve the problem of "low utilization of resources, high transport costs, capacity The problem of "low resource utilization, high transportation costs, waste of capacity, weak competitiveness" to achieve a multi-win.

3, resource intensification on the management level, quality control have brought new requirements.

At this time, the leading companies pay more attention to the standardization of enterprises within the system and information construction. Through the information **** enjoy control process quality, through the standardization of operations to solve the service quality is guaranteed. GPS, ERP system construction, whether from the use of scale or effect has become a means of active pursuit. At the same time, the control of resources within the system and the clear requirements of the business objectives, so that the leading companies began to plan for regional distribution, distribution bases, line optimization and other issues. Inside and outside the system in the form of strategic alliance, *** with the construction of a reasonable layout of basic network facilities, transportation nodes and channels. Through a reasonable division of labor, to achieve the purpose of global coordination of capacity and optimization of storage facilities.

Judgment 2: the next few years in passenger car logistics, road transport is still the mainstream of vehicle logistics, but the share of rail and waterway transport will be significantly increased

Get rid of the situation of separate road transport, rail and waterway transport and road transport tripod, each excel in the future trend of vehicle logistics.

The alternative means of road transportation of whole vehicles is water transport and railroad transportation. Transportation industry to provide goods *** the same attribute is to "change the displacement". Due to the different characteristics of the means of transportation and belong to different spatial areas, alternative industries in the road transport industry to produce a competitive threat at the same time, but also has a natural nature of cooperation and complementarity.

Road transport, although due to rising oil prices, the direct cost of rising, but the car transport has a timely, flexible characteristics, through a loading and unloading on the completion of logistics services, due to less loading and unloading to reduce the quality of the loss (the particularity of the commodity car transport), the mode of automobile transport will still be the main force of the future automobile logistics. However, road transportation distance, flow and other elements have undergone significant changes. At the same time, we need to draw your attention to the rail road intermodal transport, waterway road intermodal transport mode is heating up, only the development of cooperation in the various sectors of the different administrative system restricts the progress of cooperation.

Judgment 3: emergence of more dynamic, socialized information platform

In the past, we studied the information information platform, is the enterprise's own GPS as the main means of unidirectional, open-loop system, only the vehicle monitoring function, aimed at mastering the vehicle dynamics. The future information management system will form some dynamic, socialized information platform. These information platforms are dynamic closed-loop systems that can achieve:

l Provide technical support for the realization of the integration of capacity resources, improve efficiency;

l Strengthen vehicle monitoring, for the OEM, 4S stores to provide timely and accurate information;

l Accumulation of logistics operation data, for optimization, analysis, data support matching function, extended function.

Based on this goal to build the public **** information network platform, able to synergize the cooperation between logistics enterprises, to achieve a balance of capacity, tariffs and resources and other functions. Provide protection for the rational development of automobile logistics business. At the same time, the internal management of enterprises to take ERP system has been more mature into more logistics enterprises, used in the production process.

Judgment 4: vehicle logistics connotation, competition will occur in many changes

l Logistics connotation of the change

Vehicle logistics from simple commodity vehicle transportation changes to transportation as the main body of warehousing, distribution, terminal value-added services as a complement to the new logistics, technology content is higher, more value-added links, and closer cooperation with the host plant.

l Changes in the way of competition

Keeping up with the main concerns of automotive logistics, (automotive personalized consumption increases, small batch, multi-frequency logistics service requirements) the future of the automotive logistics industry is bound to change from the current simple price competition, providing transportation to provide multi-factor services.

l The establishment of regional logistics centers

Due to the location of manufacturers and sales regions, for sales forward and cost considerations, such as factors, the use of ro-ro ships and trains for mainline transport plus regional logistics centers will become more and more common, so that it will be in the country's major node cities to form a multi-functional regional logistics centers.

l Whole-vehicle logistics team will shift from operational to program and planning.

Over the past period of time, the participants in the whole-vehicle logistics are mostly hands-on talent, a group of people who can drive a car plus a few racks of cars of the era has passed; program optimization, program planning is a must for the start of the project, and some of what the new ideas and institutionalized means of protection is to enter into negotiations on the basis of. A group of rational, highly educated research talents to join is a prerequisite for the realization of this goal; logistics talent has been raised from the field operation type to operations, program planning and other three-dimensional, multi-level talent structure.

Judgment 5: the future of vehicle logistics is the key ability to cooperate

Looking to the future: both by the automotive logistics companies to compete with each other interpretation of the internal competition, but also railroads, water transport and other alternative industries, the rise of the road transport is approaching the threat of the large-scale entry of the international logistics business is more so that we are briefly looking for transformation, a sense of crisis for survival. But we must also see: the localized characteristics of vehicle logistics and automotive logistics companies for the internal integration, reciprocity, complement each other to bring part of the buffer.

Competition and cooperation is the unity of contradictions. China's vehicle logistics enterprises will certainly be in front of the cruel business status quo, rationally seek a way out of survival and development. China's automobile logistics enterprises have just started, will quickly respond to the automobile logistics market change, the trend of refinement, in the competition to seek cooperation, in cooperation by cultivating their core competitiveness, really learn to be strong.
