The logistics and express delivery industry looks forward to new opportunities

On the 26th, the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway officially opened for operation. A reporter from Yangcheng Evening News learned that after the operation of the Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway, Guangdong express delivery companies have tested the high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha. Now, the opening of the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway will bring new opportunities to China's logistics and express delivery industry.

Previously, the Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway was opened, and there was high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha. The head of a well-known private express delivery enterprise in Guangzhou told reporters that currently, about 80% of express deliveries are transported by road, and about 15% are transported by air. In fact, high-speed rail has advantages over highways in terms of time and cost. After the opening and operation of the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway, many node cities in the middle are areas with strong demand for express delivery services, and there is a lot of space.

It is reported that in mid December, the National Postal Administration, the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the China Express Association formed a joint research group to conduct on-site research on the use of high-speed rail transportation by express delivery enterprises in Guangdong Province.

In addition to the express delivery industry, traditional logistics industries such as bulk commodity transportation are also expected to benefit from the opening of the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway and the improvement of the freight capacity of the Beijing Guangzhou line. Data shows that after the opening of the Wuhan Guangzhou high-speed railway alone, the freight capacity of the Beijing Guangzhou line has increased by 10.9%, improving the transportation demand for key materials such as coal, oil, grain, and foreign trade freight from Hong Kong and Macao, which have been restricted in long-term transportation capacity.
