On the 26th, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway officially opened for operation. A reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News learned that after the operation of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail, Guangdong express companies have tested the high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha. Now the opening of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail will bring new opportunities to my country's logistics and express industry.
"Before the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail was opened, there was high-speed rail express transportation between Guangzhou and Changsha." A person in charge of a well-known private express company in Guangzhou told reporters that at present, about 80% of express express are transported by road and about 15% are by air. In fact, in terms of timeliness and cost, high-speed rail has advantages over roads. After the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail is put into operation, many node cities in the middle are areas with strong demand for express services, and there is a lot of space.
It is understood that in mid-December, the State Post Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission's Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute, and the China Express Association formed a joint research team to go to Guangdong Province to conduct field investigations on express companies using high-speed rail to transport express mail.
In addition to the express delivery industry, traditional logistics industries such as bulk commodity transportation are also expected to benefit from the opening of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail and the enhancement of the freight capacity of the Beijing-Guangzhou line. Statistics show that only after the opening of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail, the freight capacity of the Beijing-Guangzhou line has increased by 10.9%, which has improved the transportation demand for key materials such as coal, oil, and grain, and Hong Kong and Macau's foreign trade freight transportation, which have restricted long-term capacity.
