On July 28, at the Chuzhou East Toll Station in Anhui Province, vehicles from all over the world passed smoothly and the river flowed endlessly.
Chuzhou, located in eastern Anhui and adjacent to Nanjing, is one of the important manufacturing bases in the Yangtze River Delta. Chuzhou East Toll Station is an important crossing for Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang vehicles to come to Chuzhou via the expressway. At the beginning of April this year, due to the long inspection process caused by the epidemic, the traffic of vehicles slowed down.
With the implementation of the Baotong Baochang policy, the traffic efficiency of Chuzhou East Toll Station has been greatly improved, and the traffic flow has steadily recovered. According to the data, from April 1 to April 15, the high-speed exit traffic was 15,185 vehicles, and the traffic volume rose to 20,824 vehicles in the same period in June. "In the early may period, the suppressed freight demand was released in a concentrated manner, and the traffic volume rebounded sharply. It is currently rising steadily. Guan Xudong, deputy director of the Chuzhou East Toll Station, said.
Transportation and logistics is the meridian of the market economy and an important support for the protection of people's livelihood. Since March this year, under the influence of multiple factors of the epidemic, transportation and logistics in some places have been greatly affected.
With the joint efforts of various regions and departments, a series of logistics guarantee policies have been intensively introduced and implemented. On May 10, the national shutdown and closure of highway toll stations and service areas were basically zero, and the flow of highway trucks reached 7.213 million vehicles, an increase of 25.66% over April 10. On July 26, 7.3268 million highway trucks passed across the country.
Road traffic bears more than 70% of the freight volume of the whole society and is an important channel to support economic and social development. From spring to summer, satellites recorded the trajectory of cargo vehicles becoming denser, and Chinese trucks sped up.
In a satellite positioning and navigation system, each running cargo vehicle leaves a series of trajectories composed of geographic coordinates. They weave and intersect into a splendid network, connecting the national economy and people's livelihood in road transport.
This is a comparison map of the satellite positioning data of freight vehicles of nearly 30,000 small and micro logistics enterprises. The number of freight lines actually in operation on June 10 was 189% on April 8. The long lines with large spans have increased significantly, and the network of freight lines under the superposition is more dense, which means that with the opening of traffic jams, more cross-regional freight orders are generated.
Truck driver Hou Qinghua is clearly feeling this change. He drives a van purchased with a loan and often runs the route from Ma'anshan City in Anhui Province to Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province. "In April, it was often blocked at the high-speed toll gate." Hou Qinghua said that at that time, there were few orders, and he had to pay off the car loan every month, "I was really anxious." In early June, Hou Qinghua saw the news that there was a deferred loan repayment policy, and walked through the application process with the idea of trying it out, and soon received a text message notification that the application was successful, and the loan repayment could be postponed for 6 months.
"It feels like driving on the highway has been much smoother since early May." Hou Qinghua said that the traffic is smooth, the logistics orders are naturally more, and his income will also "rise in the water".
Logistics is very important for accelerating the recovery of the industrial chain supply chain. Chery Automobile was affected by poor supply chain and logistics in the first half of this year, and car shipments were once blocked, and the delivery cycle was extended from an average of 5 days to more than 7 days. "At present, the logistics cycle has returned to normal levels. Coupled with the continuous recovery of vehicle production capacity, there is a trend of production and sales. Chery Automobile Planning Logistics Center Vehicle Logistics Department Director Zhang Chaohua said.
Observe from a satellite perspective the cargo yard of The Zhujiaqiao International Container Terminal in Wuhu Port, Wuhu Port, where Chery Automobile is located, thousands of cars are neatly parked, and these vehicles will be transported to many places around the world; In the parking lot of Wuhu Changchang Logistics Co., Ltd. on Anshan Road, large trucks lined up one after another to enter, waiting to be loaded with Chery cars to be transported to all parts of the country.

With the continuous advancement of the resumption of work and production, the continuous release of production and consumer demand, and the demand for freight logistics has further increased. According to the data of the logistics technology platform "Zebra Laila Technology", from the end of March to the beginning of April, the weekly freight bill volume declined significantly, and the freight bill volume gradually rebounded and gradually stabilized from mid-April.
Zebrara Technology monitors weekly shipment volume changes.
From roads to railways, from ports to airports, a busy scene has released a positive signal that the transportation and logistics industry is accelerating its recovery.
"In general, in the first half of the year, with the joint efforts of all parties, with the implementation of various measures such as logistics and smoothness, the main indicators of transportation have gradually recovered after experiencing brief fluctuations in April, especially the freight volume has basically recovered to the same period last year, the port foreign trade container throughput has maintained growth, and the transportation investment and express delivery business volume have returned to the normal development track as a whole." Shu Chi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Transport, said at a regular news conference on July 28.
