After using the Shaanxi Auto Delong pure electric tractor for several months, Tangshan Caofeidian Xinghan Logistics and "little friends" are quite satisfied.
Having been engaged in the steel and ore transportation industry for many years, Niu Faqun, the fleet manager of Xinghan Logistics, is also very "steel" and quite straightforward.
He said to the other party: "At first, Shougang Jingtang proposed to increase the proportion of new energy transportation vehicles. At that time, after a discussion with more than a dozen logistics companies, we decided to choose Shaanxi Automobile heavy trucks. After a few months, Shaanxi Automobile pure electric vehicles The tractor uses much more electricity than fuel, and there is no problem with the vehicle, I see it! It's worth buying!"
Serving Shougang Jingtang and developing green transportation
The requirement to apply environmentally friendly new energy vehicles comes from the "Party A" Shougang Jingtang, which is actually reasonable.
From Shijingshan in Beijing to Caofeidian in Tangshan, the relocation of Shougang originated from environmental protection. The construction of Shougang Jingtang Company has followed the concept of "green, low-carbon, and circular development" since its inception, and has become a model of green factories in the steel industry.
Shougang Jingtang, the world's first large-scale iron and steel enterprise built in accordance with the concept of circular economy, has the largest single-unit seaside iron and steel production base with international advanced level.
Logistics and transportation connecting supply, production and finished product sales are not only an important channel for Shougang Jingtang to maintain efficient operation, but also an important part of energy saving and carbon reduction.
In 2020 and 2021, Shougang Jingtang has been continuously rated as an A-level enterprise in environmental protection performance, and successfully obtained the qualification for independent emission reduction, avoiding the pressure of production restriction. Among them, Shougang Jingtang established a clean transportation and production guarantee system, adjusted the transportation structure, optimized the vehicle configuration, and ensured that the proportion of clean transportation reached no less than 80% of the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
Supply chain integration and service upgrade
From steel traders to the steel logistics supply chain, Xinghan Logistics is well aware of the pain points of maintaining production capacity, improving logistics circulation efficiency and service quality in the steel industry.
To expand the proportion of new energy vehicles, Xinghan Logistics is "right in the heart".
According to reports, in Tangshan, where there are many steel and ore transportation companies and fierce competition, Xinghan Logistics is known for its professional and integrated services.
In order to avoid problems such as "broken chain", wrangling, and difficulty in unifying service standards in the logistics chain, Xinghan Logistics has built its own logistics park, warehousing, and equipped with supporting resources such as cargo ships, berths, and fleets. The supply chain integrated service plan ensures seamless connection and efficient interaction of all links of transportation, and high-quality door-to-door logistics services have achieved the trust of Shougang Jingtang, Tangshan and other high-standard customer groups.
Niu Faqun said that in recent years, under the guidance of environmental protection policies, as a well-known steel town at home and abroad, Tangshan iron and steel enterprises have not only turned to road transportation, waterway and railway multimodal transportation, but also started the application of pure electric heavy trucks.
"Multimodal transport means that in the past, there are fewer heavy trucks for long-distance travel, and medium- and short-distance or even short-distance transport has become the main demand scenario. This has created conditions for us to replace electric vehicles." Niu Faqun said.
It is understood that the Xinghan logistics fleet previously owned more than 130 heavy trucks, of which natural gas models accounted for 2/3 and diesel models occupied 1/3. In the past two years, it has been under pressure due to high oil prices and volatile natural gas prices.
Coupled with the changes in transportation structure, Xinghan logistics fleet is in urgent need of vehicle model adjustment and looking for space to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
