The world's annual express parcels exceed 100 billion pieces, and China alone accounts for half of them, making it the country with the largest number of express parcels in the world. This is not only due to the extensive transportation network and the rapid momentum of the online shopping platform, but also thanks to the express delivery brothers who are struggling in the front line.
As the saying goes: four wheels carry the body, two wheels carry the soul, the unicycle carries acrobatics, and the three wheels carry express delivery. Tricycles are a good helper for courier brothers, but the lack of standardized management and safety assurance is also a major problem.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced a "express delivery car" produced by Wuling. The car is named Wuling E10, and with the exposure of road test spy photos, Jianghu Jun also has the opportunity to talk about this car.
Shelter from the wind and rain, warm in winter and cool in summer
Wuling E10 is a miniature van pure electric van, from the appearance of our common van the biggest difference is that it is very pocket-sized, like a "four-wheeled tricycle". In a sense, the Wuling E10 is more cute than the Wuling Hongguang MiniEV.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Wuling E10 are 3310/1080/1690mm, and the body with a width of only 1 meter is conducive to the use of express delivery cars through the streets and alleys, and temporary stops are not obstructed by traffic as much as possible. In terms of convenience of use, this four-wheeled express car is not worse than a three-wheeled express car.
The same as the tricycle express car is that the cab of the Wuling E10 can only accommodate 1 driver, but fortunately equipped with a door and air conditioning, although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete, although the Wuling E10 looks very simple, but it is still much stronger than the tricycle express car in terms of comfort, sheltering from the wind and rain, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Wuling E10 is equipped with a 20 kW motor, the power is the same as the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, considering the working state of this car full of goods, so do not extravagantly speed, the last kilometer of the express delivery to the Wuling E10 will not be too slow.
What kind of car does a courier guy in other countries drive?
Japan: In Japan, the Honda Super Cub Motorcycle is often used to deliver newspapers and letters for three reasons: fuel economy, durability, and flexible handling.
First born in 1958, the Honda Super Cub is a vehicle specially developed to facilitate riders to deliver on rough and muddy roads, with a slender body and easy to ride, and is still used for courier and letter delivery work today.
The other is the Honda Kyro X (Tumbler), a very special three-wheeled motorcycle that has a stronger loading capacity than a traditional two-wheeled motorcycle. In addition, the strange handling experience of this car is also favored by some domestic cycling enthusiasts.
Europe: Volkswagen Kaidi is the representative model of European vans, in a sense, they can be understood as Germany's "Wuling Hongguang", that is, home travel, but also commercial pulling. Although Kaidi has long ceased production in China, it is still one of the main delivery forces in Europe.
In addition, after Opel merged into the PSA Group, it also released a special takeaway car Rocks-e Kargo, which is very similar in appearance to the "youth scooter" previously released by Citroën.
The co-pilot part is designed to facilitate the loading of goods storage platform, the maximum carrying of 140 kilograms of goods, for takeaway, express delivery, is not a problem at all.
U.S.: U.S. logistics companies are growing their ranks of electric vehicles, with companies such as UPS and FedEx already purchasing electric vehicles for package transportation.
FedEx's goal is that by 2040, its global pickup and dispatch fleet will all use zero-emission, all-electric vehicles. Deliveries of the new all-electric van ordered by BrightDrop, its electric transportation business unit at GM, have already begun.
A small courier truck is full of people's expectations, but the traffic safety and violation problems caused by tricycles also need attention. The use of four-wheeled courier trucks has higher requirements for driving norms, and illegal operations such as illegal parking or retrograde can no longer be carried out. The standardization of express delivery vehicles is more conducive to the benign development of transportation.
