Experts: full of real gold and silver benefits the logistics industry and productive enterprises
"This is extremely good news for the logistics industry." Zhao Xiangnan, a logistics expert and secretary of the General Party Branch of Chengdu Logistics Association, said in an interview that the development of the logistics industry has fluctuated due to the epidemic situation, and some logistics enterprises are facing certain difficulties. The National General Meeting will deploy a 10% reduction in toll road freight charges in the fourth quarter, which will greatly reduce the logistics operation costs.
Zhao Xiangnan introduced that the toll on toll roads accounts for about 10% - 20% of the operating costs of logistics enterprises, "the proportion is still relatively high." As an industry association, Chengdu Logistics Association has also carried out relevant research. According to Zhao Xiangnan, in order to save tolls, some small logistics enterprises used to use ordinary roads rather than expressways for trucks, but as a result, the logistics efficiency has been greatly reduced.
"Therefore, for logistics enterprises, reducing the toll by 10% is a real gold and silver. If the cost is reduced, it will obviously promote the development of enterprises." Zhao Xiangnan said that in the fourth quarter, the toll on toll roads and trucks decreased by 10%, releasing the high attention and concern of the country to the logistics industry, which will undoubtedly be supported by the majority of logistics enterprises.
Zhao Xiangnan also added that not only the operating costs of logistics enterprises will be reduced, but also many productive enterprises will benefit from the reduction of supply chain costs. "This will also drive the further development of the country's overall economy."
