Japanese cars have always been known for their economy and fuel economy, and this feature is in line with the demands of taxis and economic savings. However, as a taxi company with a high car intensity, it rarely uses Japanese cars as the company's operating vehicles, but chooses German cars.
At a glance on the street, most of the taxis are Volkswagen's cars, why do taxi companies like some "poorly repaired" German cars instead of choosing Japanese cars that are economical and fuel-efficient and have fewer problems? Here xiaobian compares the advantages and disadvantages of German cars and Japanese cars as taxis:
First, that is, the same configuration of the German car is cheaper than the Japanese car, the same configuration, the Japanese than the German car is several thousand yuan more expensive. But these thousands of yuan are particularly important for taxi companies that need to purchase a lot of cars. Each car is expensive for a few thousand yuan, and if it accumulates into more, the taxi company will reduce the cost of buying a car for more than 100,000 yuan.
Second, German cars have been in China for longer, and FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen account for more in the hearts of domestic consumers. Therefore, taxis will give priority to German cars while choosing partner car companies. Although Japanese cars entered the domestic market later, although Japanese cars are more fuel-efficient and easy to repair than German, it is very difficult for taxi companies that have cooperated with Volkswagen to cooperate again.
Third, with the continuous advancement of car manufacturing technology, German cars have improved the thermal efficiency of the engine. The big advantage of Japanese cars' fuel economy has become less prominent. The fuel consumption of German vehicles has become almost the same as that of Japanese vehicles. Taxi companies will not spend tens of millions of yuan to replace vehicles with Japanese cars because of slight differences in fuel consumption.
Fourth, taxis are almost all manual cars for safety and drivability, and Volkswagen's manual vehicles are more drivable than the manual vehicles of Japanese cars. Although Japanese cars are fuel-efficient, they are unstable compared to the German chassis, and they do not have a good driving experience during high-speed driving. Taxi drivers usually drive hundreds of kilometers a day, and they pay special attention to the driving experience.
Fifth, Volkswagen has been in the domestic market for a long time, and many taxi drivers and Volkswagen, which has been driving for more than ten years, are more familiar with the operation of Volkswagen, and many drivers are reluctant to change cars easily. Even if some of Volkswagen's older models have been eliminated by the market, many drivers will choose the new generation of Volkswagen as a new choice.
summary
Although Japanese cars are economically economical, but in the face of the dominant position of German cars, taxi companies will not easily replace Japanese cars as a new choice. Moreover, the maintenance cost of Japanese cars is relatively high, and the shortcomings such as poor driving experience do not meet the needs of taxi companies. But nowadays, more and more Volkswagen models have been eliminated, and taxi companies have begun to choose to cooperate with domestic cars, such as Beijing Hyundai.
Whether it is a Japanese car or a German car, there are advantages and disadvantages to each other, car companies choose German cars as taxis or because German cars are more in line with the needs of taxis, and Japanese cars are slightly less in driving experience, which is also the reason why German cars are more popular.
