Recently, domestic ports and inland cities have successively released reports on used car transit and transfer projects. Among them, the majority of used car transfer projects are in port cities. From this, it seems that transit commercial vehicles will choose to realize transit in ports. When we discuss the selection of international export transit hubs for vehicles, we should include two types of used cars, one is domestic used cars exported locally, and the other is foreign used cars that are transited through Chinese ports or inland cities. The former depends on the source of goods. If the conditions of the location are limited, they will choose to transship in other places, and the latter will choose domestic ports with better transit conditions, such as Tianjin, Yantai, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo or southern ports, and also choose targeted choices due to the source of used cars and shipping routes. Designate ports for transshipment to reduce unnecessary transportation links, risks and costs. Below we discuss the pros and cons of ports, inland cities and dry ports as used car transfer hubs.
Port hub.
Transit second-hand cars have obvious advantages in ports as transit hubs, which can be temporarily stored or directly transited. Due to the limited capacity of sea-of-rail transit, even some ports are unable to realize one-stop operation, and the existing and mature commercial vehicle transit ports, such as Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port and Shanghai Port, will not be able to achieve rapid transit due to capacity problems Transshipment, which brings opportunities for other secondary ports that are being developed and positioned. For example, Yantai Port is building an international transit port for commercial vehicles, but for local second-hand vehicles, they can be directly loaded at the port or exported to Central Asia by rail.
Inland urban hub. At present, China-Europe and Central Asia trains have been opened in major cities in China, some of which can realize international transportation services for commercial vehicles, and have the function of railway disassembly and assembly stations for vehicles. Choosing an inland city as a second-hand car transfer hub is not friendly to second-hand car transit. First, it increases the cost of land transportation from the port to the inland city. Second, customs supervision is restricted by transport vehicles, processes and costs. It is suitable for transit used cars as a transit hub; while inland cities can be used as domestic used car export transit hubs to centralize storage, shipment, export customs declaration and transportation of used cars from various regions, and use local advantages to expand the hub service scope and relocate inland areas The logistics function of the city will also greatly improve the efficiency of local used car export and reduce the cost of international logistics.
Land port hub. Inland ports are naturally connected to foreign ports. As a second-hand car export hub, they have advantages that ports and inland cities do not have, such as port delivery, warehousing, and bulk and scattered vehicle exports. In the absence of market opportunities, inland ports can achieve bulk exports through railways, and can also use international automobile transportation to achieve small batch exports. Xinjiang Zhonglian Huayun International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. has commercial vehicle storage, customs declaration and transportation capabilities at all ports in Xinjiang , the company has set up operation teams at Khorgos, Irkestan, Baktu and other ports to provide customers in Central Asian countries and domestic exporters with international railway transportation, truck transportation, customs declaration, customs clearance and CIS regions. Vehicle delivery service, to cooperate with the supply and demand of commodity vehicles to expand trade volume.
