"It was hard to have a job where the freight seemed good, and it turned out that it was not profitable at all." When many card friends engaged in urban transportation are completing their work, we will always hear sighs like the above, so what is the problem?
With the advancement of the National VI era, freight rates continue to be sluggish, coupled with the rise in domestic oil prices, many card friends engaged in urban transportation have improved in actual operating costs, how to control costs? Is it from saving from daily food bills? Or save money on inferior accessories? At present, from the perspective of industry cognition, it is more scientific to save through the operating costs of the whole life cycle of TCO!
What exactly is TCO?
Card friends who pay more attention to the industry should hear such an English word in recent years: TCO, its full name is Total cost of ownership, which refers to the overall cost of ownership owned by the subject within a certain period of time, including the cost of buying a house and the total annual cost, which is the so-called full life cycle operating cost.
In the face of the continuous downturn in freight and the daily high oil prices, many card friends think that if they want to save money, they will start to save from the bits and pieces of their lives, in fact, this is an unscientific approach, so that the operation will only reduce their transportation efficiency, the quality of life will decline, and the money saved will not be much.
In the freight industry, we often use the whole life cycle operating costs to point out the sum of a vehicle from the purchase cost to the later maintenance cost, but in fact, this also includes the purchase cost, fuel cost, toll, maintenance cost, tire loss and card friend salary and other factors, we may wish to see how the new commander of China National Heavy Duty Truck HOWO saves money for Kayou in the model configuration?
Reliability is a priority for heavy security costs
Engaged in urban transportation, it is necessary to frequently start and stop in the urban area with many people and many vehicles; when passing through the intersection, it is inevitable to turn around; when facing the task of small supermarket distribution, it is even necessary to walk the streets and alleys, once the vehicle failure occurs, there will be no small problem, maintenance, compensation are a troublesome thing.
Starting from product quality, the new commander of Sinotruk HOWO adopts European standards for vehicle product design, assembly process, production management and test verification; through ECE, EC/EEC and German automotive industry quality standards; and even on a number of pendant accessories of the whole vehicle, the well-known high-end supply chain system at home and abroad is adopted to ensure the reliable quality of products.
At the same time, the powertrain of the whole vehicle has been fully upgraded in reliability, equipped with a non-pole S power chain, Weichai S power + Sinotruk self-developed S-AMT8 automatic transmission + Sinotruk exclusive Man technical bridge, the overall B10 life expectancy reaches 800,000 kilometers, if calculated according to the daily driving of 200 kilometers, theoretically even cover the operation cycle of this car nearly 10 years.
In addition to the high reliability brought by the core powertrain of the product, the appearance of the new commander of SINOTRUK HOWO also brings many practical and reliable configurations to the card friends, which is the industry's unique car-type water guide tank, which can help the card friends in rainy weather, reduce the corrosion effect caused by water flow, and also have the function of buffering and anti-collision.
In terms of cab, howo new commander adopts European technology, follows the German MAN TGA cab body, not only in sheet metal thickening, but also using high-quality cold-rolled steel plate, in the front, door and front, top have been made of material reinforcement treatment, to ensure that the cab in the event of an accident can ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.
Reduce costs and increase efficiency to expand operating income
With reliability as the support of light trucks, the vehicle has a high attendance rate, so perhaps some card friends will ask: "Aren't fuel and tolls more expensive on the transportation road?" In fact, the new commander of SINOTRUK HOWO also has excellent skills in fuel saving and efficient operation.
Through the blessing of the non-pole S power chain, the new commander of Sinotruk HOWO has reached 10.5L per 100 kilometers at a speed of 70km/h, and it is not easy for the mainstream competitors to maintain the excellent results of 10.5L when the current mainstream competitors are still maintained at 11-13L.
Sinotruk optimizes the engine, transmission and rear axle, the axle adopts the main reducer lubrication system, reduces frictional resistance, not only improves the transmission efficiency, but also reduces fuel consumption; compared with the traditional six-speed manual transmission in the past, the transmission reduces the operating intensity for the card user, improves the driving experience, and reduces fuel consumption by 3%-5%.
If you calculate according to the 5-year operation cycle, the annual driving distance is 100,000 kilometers, the average fuel consumption is 11.8L, and the oil price is 8.2 yuan, in this operating cycle, the total cost that can be saved is close to 60,000 yuan, and the cost price of an ordinary light truck can be saved.
At the same time, in the later maintenance, a number of configurations of the new commander of The new commander of Sinotruk Howo can also save a lot of costs for the cardier, including the use of a long oil change rear axle, which can save about 3,000 yuan in cost for the cardmate every year; the front face of the vehicle adopts a liftable mask, which is convenient for maintenance technicians to check the configuration, improve maintenance efficiency, reduce maintenance man-hours, and improve attendance; in terms of brake braking, a wider and higher quality brake shoe is used, and the total width reaches 130mm to ensure that the card friend can use it longer.
Smart monitoring makes it easier to make money
Reliability and scientific operation taking into account, The new commander of Sinotruk HOWO is also leading the industry in intelligence, facing many companies engaged in urban logistics and transportation, but also equipped with a vehicle networking system that can be scientifically and intelligently analyzed, reducing personnel management costs for logistics companies and transportation fleets, and realizing a new ecology of intelligent logistics and transportation through software.
Logistics companies and fleet managers can remotely monitor the driving status through Sinotruk's Vehicle Networking software to achieve vehicle positioning, cargo distribution, remote diagnosis and other humanized functions, so that card friends can stay at home, and even through the mobile port can pay attention to the key parameters of the vehicle, in order to adjust the vehicle and reduce the hidden cost of urban transportation.
Write at the end
From the safety cost brought by reliability, to the ultra-low operation and maintenance costs created by a number of high-end configurations combined with the creation of Internet functions, to the control costs achieved by relying on Internet functions, the ultra-low full-life cycle operating costs brought by the new commander of Sinotruk HOWO can fully help card friends create super high revenues in the current era of low freight rates and rising oil prices.
