After the release of the new blue card regulations, the situation of light trucks can be described as embarrassing to the extreme, not only the living space is increasingly compressed, but also the user is gradually losing. At present, the entire freight environment is not good, for light truck users who are preparing to "jump jobs", the job search intention is to fill in the "small card"? Or a "yellow card"? And listen to me analyze and analyze.
Small card: affordable Fly in the ointment
Compared with the changeable light truck, the strength of the medium and heavy trucks, the small card can be said to be a relatively easy to ignore existence, it is between the micro card and the light card, in other words, the small card and the light card are very similar. Therefore, many characteristics of small truck models are also quite in line with the preferences of the original light truck users, and the following aspects, small cards have the upper hand.
First of all, the price is more advantageous. At present, the price of light trucks is generally more than 100,000, and the price of small trucks is about 60,000. In the unemployed state, the funds on hand will not be too generous after all, and the lower replacement cost can help reduce a lot of economic burdens.
Second, the right of way is wider. The small card has a smaller body size, flexible transportation and distribution, better passability, whether it is a town street, a country road, an underground garage or in a height limit area, it can be driven with ease.
Again, the cost of car maintenance is lower. Although the small car is more than a gasoline engine, and gasoline is more expensive than diesel, it does not need to add urea, the loss is small, the spare parts of small models are relatively cheap, and the overall calculation is that the cost of car maintenance is more economical than that of light trucks.
Another point is that the load capacity is not low. Taking the total mass of the N2 class small truck of 3.98 tons as an example, the self-weight of the 1-2 tons vehicle can reach about 2 tons, which is comparable to the standard light truck.
However, compared with light trucks, small cards also have some drawbacks. Due to the use of gasoline engines, the displacement is small, the power performance is not as direct as the diesel engine, the power is easy to lack when driving at high speeds, and it may be slightly difficult to drive on roads with complex road conditions.
Of course, the small truck also has diesel engines, CNG dual fuel two kinds of power can be selected, but the market share is relatively small, the optional is not much, gasoline engine is the absolute main force.
In addition, the small body size determines the small volume of its cargo box, and the slightly larger volume of the model is about 10-12 square meters, and the amount of goods transported in a single trip is small, which directly affects the transportation efficiency and revenue. The cab can only accommodate 2 people, unlike most light truck models, which can carry 3 people.
At the same time, another drawback brought about by these two points is that the use of the scene is limited, relatively more suitable for the short-distance transportation of high-density, small-volume goods, such as: daily chemical building materials, rice and flour grain and oil, alcohol and beverages. To summarize in one sentence: small cards can be pulled, light cards can be pulled; light cards can be pulled, small cards may not be able to.
Yellow Card: Multiple Tests Risky
Blue card to yellow card, the most intuitive advantage is that you can legally and compliantly pull more goods, no longer like when opening a light truck, worry about being stopped by the traffic police in the middle of the road, being persuaded to return on the highway, being fined for overloading, deducting points, and eating dumb losses. However, the transfer of light trucks to heavy trucks is not just as simple as changing a car, and the price to be paid is still quite large.
Most of the original light truck users only have c1 driver's licenses, and if they want to drive a yellow card car, the first task is to upgrade the driver's license to B2 or above, which requires a certain amount of money and time costs. After the driver's license is in hand, it is necessary to apply for an operating license and a professional qualification certificate, which involves the issue of affiliation, which is also a large cost.
At the same time, the cost of car purchase and operating costs will also increase a lot, generally speaking, the price of medium trucks will be 40,000 or 50,000 more expensive than light trucks, and heavy trucks will be more than 200,000 yuan more expensive. In addition, including purchase tax, compulsory traffic insurance, commercial insurance, annual examination fee, and the toll required for each subsequent transportation, will be much higher than the blue card light card.
Not to be ignored, there is also a problem of line restrictions. In many cities, the entry of medium trucks into the city is restricted and basically not allowed, not to mention heavy trucks.
However, the focus is not on how many road rights there are in the city, medium and heavy trucks naturally have their own areas, but after the original light truck users change to yellow cards, they can no longer run transportation in the city as before, and their original accumulated customers and sources will be lost, which is equivalent to going to an unfamiliar field and starting over.
Nowadays, the freight market competition is large, the market is poor, the freight is low, in this case, investing in large costs to buy cars and maintain cars, whether you can make money is still unknown, the return to the cost is far away, and the risk is undoubtedly increasing. Many card friends are worried about this and can't make up their minds.
There is still hope for blue light trucks
Since small cards and yellow cards are so difficult to choose, is there any hope for continuing to stay in the light truck market? Not without possibility.
The new blue brand regulations from the load capacity, carrying capacity, loading capacity and other aspects of the elimination of any possibility of vehicle overload without dead ends, under this "claw", the light truck market is bound to gradually achieve standardized management.
Although in the current view, the opening of light trucks is both a stubborn and unable to make money, it is difficult to break through the bottleneck, so that many people are very negative about its attitude. However, the activity of light trucks is also related to the stability of the urban distribution market and the normal order of residents' lives, even if it is difficult, it will not always be difficult.
After everything is on the right track, everyone is driving the same compliant car, pulling the same amount of goods, fair competition, reasonable money, maybe the future light truck market, will become a pure land in the freight industry.
If you don't have enough confidence in this "beautiful vision", then the new energy city is also a good choice. There are subsidies for car purchases, the right of way has more advantages, there is no need to increase driving, the model is unchanged, the supply is still the same, the policy is favorable, and the more worried problems of endurance and charging energy have also been continuously improved and improved, and the general trend is good.
Editor's Note
All in all, which market to jump to should start from your actual needs. Pay attention to economy and convenience, choose a small card; if there is a long-distance, heavy-duty demand, choose a yellow card car; the pursuit of generous quantity, stable supply, continue to choose a light truck; short distance, high requirements for the right of way, choose a new energy vehicle.
There is a question, if the old concept of some of the original light truck users remains unchanged, will it have an adverse impact on other fields after diversion? (Text/Maggie Cheung)
