Changes in the policy environment make the weight of the vehicle the key to the user’s revenue. As a result, light weight trailers have also begun to be favored by heavy truck users.
Recently, in some truck forums in China, many heavy truck owners from Xinjiang have posted questions about purchasing light weight trailers. The owners of these vehicles have invariably paid attention to lightweight trailers, mainly due to a new regulation recently issued by the local road management department: Since May 28th, the G30 Xingxia-Turlu section of the road has implemented truck-weighted tolls. When this provision is issued, it also means that the weight-for-weight policy that has been generally implemented in many provinces and cities across the country has finally achieved a "breaking ice" in the western province of transport. The changes in policies have also caused a sudden increase in the cost of transportation for some overloaded and heavily loaded vehicles, and the space for survival has become smaller and smaller.
In this situation, many heavy-duty trucks have to incorporate lightweight vehicles into their own "statements." Considering that the “cost†of replacing a tractor is too high, some users have begun to use their brains to reduce the weight of the trailer.
Environmental changes in light weight "gain"
The same scenario occurs not only in Xinjiang. It is understood that in the past two years, along with the nationwide promotion of weight-based toll collection, especially since the implementation of the "Road Safety Protection Regulations" last year, local governments have stepped up their efforts to control overload. This has enabled the profit model of the domestic logistics and transportation market to begin a transition from Dora to a high-speed benchmark. The new trend of the transportation market makes the weight of the vehicle the key to affecting the user’s revenue.
Ever since, various light-weight models have been sought after by more and more multi-card users. As a heavy-duty “weapon†for heavy-duty trucks, lightweight trailers have naturally triggered strong interest from many owners and have gradually become a major demand hot spot in the semi-trailer market.
Master Wang, a heavy truck from Hami, Xinjiang, recently ordered a lightweight trailer from Liangshan, Shandong. Regarding the original intention of buying, he frankly stated that he was mainly to adapt to the new changes in the transportation environment.
Master Wang told reporters that since the new policy began to be implemented in Xinjiang on May 28th, six road toll stations in the direction from Xingxingxia to Hami have begun to implement weight-based tolling on trucks. Parts that are 30% to 100% overloaded are linearly increased to 6 times the basic rate, and those that are over 100% are charged at 12 times the basic rate.
“Thus, if you add 60 to 70 tons as you have done in the past, the cost of toll tolls will not be a small sum of money, and it will not be able to be allocated. Plus, weight-based tolls have a clear limit on the total weight of goods, so rely on overloading. The profit-making days are gone forever.†Master Wang said with frustration that in order to maintain normal operations, he had to start bidding. However, the low freight rates and high oil prices have made the post-laden transportation business almost unprofitable. At this time, the lightweight trailer that can effectively reduce the weight of the vehicle became his best choice. "Now most roads require that the total weight of the cargo must not exceed 55 tons. In this case, each ton of body weight lost, you can pull a ton of cargo and earn a ton of money. In order to maximize profits, I purchased a light weight trailer through the trade-in replacement.†Master Wang told reporters that although he invested more than 10,000 yuan in replacement costs, he was satisfied with the results. He calculated such an account for reporters: Since the replacement of lightweight trailers, the weight of the trailer has been reduced by more than 2 tons, so he can now pull more than 800 yuan more freight than before, and the effect of increasing income is considerable.
In the same way, from the lightweight trailer, the "old" transporter, Master Zhao, was given a "benefit". He said that a few years ago, Shanxi, where he was located, took the lead in the implementation of weight-based tolls in several provinces in North China. Seeing that roads that rely on overloading to make money are increasingly impracticable, many owners who are with him begin to communicate with the trailer manufacturers to reduce the weight of the trailer on the basis of ensuring reliability. In the end, through the adoption of high-strength steel and the reduction of the length of the body, he has succeeded in reducing the weight of his trailer. For this reason, he earns six or seven thousand yuan more per month than others.
In addition to being able to actively “open source†for car owners and earn “real moneyâ€, light weight trailers perform quite well on “throttleâ€. Insiders pointed out that for heavy trucks, each ton of weight reduction can reduce one-litre fuel consumption per hundred kilometers. At present, the weight reduction of light weight trailers is basically 1 to 2 tons, which can also save fuel consumption for heavy truck users. This is no doubt a "temptation" for heavy truck owners who are struggling with high oil prices and low freight rates.
Concerns still need to be improved. Although light weight trailers have improved their performance in improving the comprehensive income of heavy truck users, many heavy truck users are quite excited. However, during the contact with some car owners, the reporter found that a considerable number of heavy truck owners still have “reservations opinions†on light weight trailers that are currently playing a good part.
“Actually, I’ve already had a light-weight trailer around me. It is said that the weight loss effect is indeed very obvious, and the revenue is also good. But I still have to wait for the determination to change.†The heavy truck advocate from Shanxi also said that the master said he The biggest concern at the moment is concerns about the quality of lightweight trailers. “I once saw in Linyi, Shandong, that the light beam of a lightweight trailer broke off from the middle and I was afraid. I have not yet fully grasped the quality of light weight, so I do not want to act rashly.â€
In this regard, industry experts have stated that a good lightweight product is mainly achieved through the use of new materials and structural optimization to achieve weight reduction, not at the expense of vehicle capacity and reliability. Therefore, reasonable reduction of self-weight will not cause "harm" to the performance of the vehicle.
At present, some light weight trailers have problems in their use. On the one hand, individual manufacturers are irresponsibly pursuing “light†in order to meet market demands; on the other hand, they also violate the regulations of some users. "There is a big relationship.
It is understood that the semi-trailer industry in China has always been in a small, scattered, chaotic situation, and a large number of production companies with weak technical strength and small scale are full of industries. As the market for light-weight semi-trailers continues to heat up, many small businesses are beginning to seize this rare market opportunity, hoping to get a piece of it. Thus, despite their own technical capabilities, they blindly introduced some lightweight trailers to the market, which has made the quality of lightweight trailers on the market uneven.
Some users often choose price as their primary consideration when purchasing lightweight trailers. As a result, those shoddy products can easily gain favor with low prices. However, these products, which are not of high quality, are prone to failures and problems during their use. This has also undermined the "image" of lightweight trailers, which has caused some potential consumers to worry about it.
In this regard, the sales person in charge of a trailer company in Liangshan, Shandong Province, frankly stated that there are many problems with light weight trailers, and they are not unrelated to the “persecution†of some vehicle owners. “Some users are not only demanding cheaper prices when they are booking trailers, but also have to rely on light weight and multi-pull goods. In fact, these points are difficult to take into account. However, due to the fierce competition in the semi-trailer market, individual companies may even order Satisfy the user's 'unreasonable requirements', thus providing the soil for the problem trailer."
At the same time, he also stressed that the purpose of choosing lightweight trailers is mainly to reduce their own weight and fuel consumption, not to overload. However, in order to obtain higher shipping costs, individual users ignore the advice that manufacturers cannot overload, causing some trailers to be overloaded, causing damage to their quality and even accidents. “In fact, as long as users purchase cars, they try to choose the products of big companies with strong strengths instead of just pursuing low prices, and determine the trailer’s weight according to the actual conditions of their cargo types, road conditions, etc., and they can operate in vehicles. In the course of the process, we will be able to carry on standard transportation. Lightweight trailers will not only have problems in terms of bearing capacity and reliability, but they will also really help users reduce costs and increase profits,†said the person in charge of the trailer.
