In the first half of 2022, Luoxiang People shouldered the development mission, centered around the corporate vision, guided by core values, people-oriented and internally strong quality,

Strengthen management and improve mechanisms, reduce costs and increase efficiency, explore and innovate, and strive to survive in the extreme!

In the first half of this year, the overall development of China’s national economy declined.

From the external situation, the international environment is becoming more complex and severe, and global inflation, supply chain shortages, and international situations are difficult to fully solve in the short term. Economic recovery and growth still face uncertainty.

From the internal situation, China’s economic development is facing pressure such as demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations. Frequent and sporadic outbreaks of domestic epidemics have significantly increased the adverse effects

Small and medium-sized enterprises face operational difficulties. The recovery of domestic consumption, investment, and other factors is still relatively slow, coupled with rising raw material, logistics, and labor costs. The production and operation difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises have increased, and there are many layoffs and layoffs. Cash flow is tight, leading to the closure and bankruptcy of many enterprises

In the new situation, in order for enterprises to survive and develop, they must change their work mindset, shift from focusing on production to focusing on human efficiency. They must go through the “pain” of development, focus on reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and enhance competitiveness.

The company spared no effort to promote the upgrading and transformation of automation, informatization, and intelligence, promoting machines to replace labor, reducing the cost of single vehicle labor, and increasing production efficiency by more than twice year-on-year.

The leader of the production center leads all colleagues to solemnly swear that they will not bear the gong! Not fulfilling our mission!

In the second half of the year, we will focus on the following points:

Firstly, strive to increase production and sales volume

Secondly, improve brand quality

From the four dimensions of vehicle qualification rate, delivery compliance rate, procurement qualification rate, and customer satisfaction, we will work together to achieve progress

Thirdly, improving per capita efficiency

By increasing production and efficiency, a solid foundation is laid for the stability of employees’ work and the improvement of their per capita income
Fourth, reduce manufacturing costs

The reduction of manufacturing costs is directly related to the production costs of enterprises, forming a cost advantage for enterprises, and thus achieving an improvement in market competitiveness

Fifth, reduce safety accidents

Sixth, open up promotion channels

Encourage employees to improve their competence, compete and surpass others, and drive income growth through ability and performance improvement

Recently, the Transportation Bureau of Foshan City released the “Management Measures for the Operation Support Fund of New Energy Freight Vehicles for Urban Distribution in Foshan City (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)”, proposing that local governments should reward and supplement the use of hydrogen fuel cell freight vehicles and pure electric freight vehicles, with trucks using hydrogen fuel cells receiving a maximum annual subsidy of 125000 yuan per vehicle.

The effective period for the establishment of this special support fund is 3 years, and the first accounting cycle starts from January 1, 2022.

The special fund support period is 3 years

The creation of a demonstration city for green freight delivery in Foshan is currently underway, and it was previously planned to end by the end of 2021. It is expected that the city will initially establish a modern, standardized, and intensive three-level network system for urban freight delivery, which is an intensive, efficient, green, and intelligent urban freight delivery service system.

During the creation process, Foshan plans to reward and supplement freight vehicles that use new energy, namely hydrogen fuel and pure electric freight vehicles.
These vehicles must be new energy freight vehicles purchased after January 1, 2017 (inclusive) and registered in Foshan City. They must undertake the urban logistics and distribution tasks of this city, and the distribution point must be within Foshan City.

Specifically, according to four types of vehicles: light hydrogen fuel cell freight vehicles (with a total mass of less than 4.5 tons), medium hydrogen fuel cell freight vehicles (with a total mass of 4.5 tons or more, less than 12 tons), heavy hydrogen fuel cell freight vehicles (with a total mass of 12 tons or more), and hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated vehicles, the mileage for each accounting year is between 10000 and 50000 kilometers, which is calculated at 1.5 yuan/kilometer, 2.0 yuan/kilometer 2.5 yuan/kilometer and 2.3 yuan/kilometer will be awarded as compensation, rounded to the nearest 100 kilometers.

The maximum annual compensation for each of the four models mentioned above is 75000 yuan, 100000 yuan, 125000 yuan, and 115000 yuan, respectively.

If pure electric freight vehicles that meet the conditions are used, six new energy distribution models will be used: light enclosed trucks (micro surface type, with a rated load capacity of 1.2 tons or less), light enclosed trucks (medium surface type, with a rated load capacity of 1.2 tons to 2 tons), light box trucks (light truck type, with a total mass of 4.5 tons or less), medium box trucks (with a total mass of 4.5 tons or more but less), heavy trucks (with a total mass of 12 tons or more), and refrigerated trucks.

When the above vehicles have traveled over 30000 kilometers, the maximum annual compensation for each of the six models is 6000 yuan, 12000 yuan, 18000 yuan, 24000 yuan, 66000 yuan, and 30000 yuan, respectively.

The validity period for the establishment of special support funds is 3 years, and they are calculated in 3 cycles. Each accounting cycle is 1 year, and the first accounting cycle starts from January 1, 2022. The relevant person in charge of the Foshan Transportation Bureau stated that the special support funds are shared by the municipal and district finance in a ratio of 2:8.

Number of enterprises above the designated size for Foshan highway freight transportation

Breakthrough 300

The financial support for new energy freight vehicles this time is to accelerate the creation of a green freight distribution demonstration city in Foshan.
According to the Transportation Bureau of Foshan City, in recent years, new energy sources such as hydrogen energy have been actively promoted in the public transportation and freight industries of Foshan. The city has also increased the construction of related supporting facilities while increasing vehicles. The “Work Plan for Creating a Green Freight Delivery Demonstration City in Foshan City” has been proposed, which will actively guide urban freight delivery, commercial circulation enterprises, and the promotion and application of new energy delivery vehicles, especially hydrogen energy delivery vehicles, in areas such as fast moving consumer goods, agricultural and sideline products, and supermarket delivery. Based on the hydrogenation and charging needs of new energy trucks, we will accelerate the construction of logistics parks, distribution centers, and other hydrogenation and charging facilities.
It is expected that by the end of the demonstration period, the proportion of newly added new energy urban freight distribution vehicles will not be less than 50%, and the configuration ratio of new energy pure electric trucks and charging piles for urban distribution will reach 3:1, achieving full coverage of supporting facilities in charging demand hotspots.

At the same time, Foshan will standardize the identification of urban freight delivery vehicles and unify environmental standards for urban freight delivery vehicles in accordance with the principles of “clean appearance, clear markings, and uniform spraying”.

At the end of the demonstration period, the standardized proportion of newly invested urban freight distribution vehicles will reach 100%.

Nowadays, Foshan is accelerating the creation of a green freight delivery demonstration city, which has brought positive signals to the local economic development, especially the continued growth of truck operation scale in the first half of this year.

By the end of June 2021, there are 38400 registered trucks operating in Foshan, with a gross tonnage of 617000 tons, and the scale of transport capacity has increased by 6.67% over the end of 2020; The number of highway freight enterprises above designated size in the city (with over 30 Foshan registered trucks and a total load capacity of over 250 tons) has increased from 298 at the end of 2020 to 314, an increase of 5.37%.

From January to June, the city’s road freight volume reached 105.58 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 35.13%; The turnover of highway freight transportation reached 8.206 billion tons per kilometer, a year-on-year increase of 52.04%.

The transportation department of the city continues to promote the development of the freight industry, accelerate the creation of a national demonstration city for green freight distribution, accelerate the establishment of an ‘intensive, efficient, green, and intelligent’ urban freight distribution system, and promote the large-scale development of distribution enterprises. The person in charge introduced the recent changes in Foshan’s highway freight transportation.

Recently, Jinan, Shandong Province has also joined the camp of “large vehicles must stop when turning right”.

It is understood that the traffic police in Licheng, Jinan, installed a special electric alarm device for illegal collection of large vehicles that must stop and give way when turning right at the northeast corner of the intersection of Century Avenue and Fengming Road. If a yellow card truck that does not stop sign to non motor vehicles and pedestrians when turning right will face a penalty of 3 points and a fine of 200 yuan.

That is to say, when a yellow card truck turns right at an intersection, regardless of whether there are pedestrians or non motorized vehicles passing through, it must stop outside the stop line to observe and confirm safety before passing. If the vehicle does not stop, it will be captured by the lightning integrated camera installed at the intersection.

It is understood that Jinan will also add a dedicated capture system in the near future, and after the National Day holiday, the punishment for such violations will be increased.

Frequent Right Turn Accidents of Freight Cars

When the truck turns right, accidents are more likely to occur. Recently, the Chengdu Traffic Management Bureau reported a traffic accident where a large truck turned right and pulled a two wheeled electric vehicle running in the same direction under the vehicle, causing one death and one injury.

In recent years, fatal accidents caused by blind spots in right turning angles or excessive speed of large trucks have occurred frequently, and corresponding measures have been taken in various regions.

Six provinces and cities, including Shanghai and Guangdong, took the lead in “launching an attack”

On August 27, 2021, Shanghai fully implemented the “right turn must stop” policy for container transport enterprises, requiring them to strictly implement the “right turn must stop” measures. Otherwise, they will adopt forms such as “blacklist” for supervision and punishment; And at 43 intersections, implement the principle of “large trucks must stop when turning right”. Violators will be fined 200 yuan for 3 points.

From August 12 to September 12, 2021, the traffic police in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province carried out a “right turn stop” operation for trucks for one month in a row. On roads with frequent truck traffic, all police officers went on the road to rectify the situation. When people or cars do not cross the street at intersections, a speed limit of 10 kilometers per hour was imposed; If pedestrians and non motor vehicles are crossing the street or have the intention to cross the street, they must stop sign.

On January 20, 2021, the traffic management department of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, introduced the “right turn stop and then start” driving regulations for large transportation vehicles such as engineering vehicles and yellow label trucks. The first violation was publicized, and the second violation was directly suspended.

On November 20, 2019, the Nanjing Traffic Management Department carried out a special action on “100 day rectification” of traffic safety, and conducted electronic police surveillance on heavy and medium-sized trucks that did not yield on right turns. A fine of 100 yuan and a score of 3 points were imposed.
There are many prevention and control measures implemented in various regions for blind spots on right turns of large trucks, such as planning warning belts for blind spots on right turns of large vehicles, installing warning signs and lights, and so on.
Is it feasible to say ‘truck must stop when turning right’?

The purpose of implementing the policy of ‘truck turning right must stop’ is to reduce the incidence of accidents. Because when turning right to stop, the truck driver has ample time to observe the road conditions; Secondly, it can also provide reminders to pedestrians and non motorized vehicles on the right.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, this regulation can to some extent reduce the incidence of accidents.

But many card users also have doubts about the actual effect and hold a wait-and-see attitude towards this regulation. ​

Because ‘right turn must stop’ may exacerbate the pressure of traffic congestion, one can imagine a heavy truck stopping at a right turn intersection to give way to pedestrians. If the vehicle continues to pass for several tens of seconds, there will be a long queue behind it, and all right turn vehicles passing will have to wait. Over time, it will cause road congestion and increase the probability of traffic accidents.

At the same time, some card enthusiasts believe that there seems to be another constraint added invisibly? Why is it that every time there is a problem, the truck driver is the first to “cut”? Because the safety of road traffic cannot be solely carried out by truck drivers. Truck drivers are only one aspect, and only the joint maintenance of a large number of traffic participants can ensure the safety and smoothness of road traffic.

Therefore, publicity, guidance, and corresponding measures should also be taken for pedestrians and other traffic participants in order to achieve the original intention of “reducing accident rates”.
