China Capital Logistics, the winner of “Taozhu Gong Awards” in 2019, ranking among the top ten Chinese contract logistics companies, and ranking at the third place among automobile logistics companies, always bears in mind the attributes of state-owned enterprise. Under the leadership of Beijing Municipal Government, BAIC Group and BAIC ROCAR, it has followed the general requirements of “Firm confidence, partnership spirit, scientific prevention and precise policy implementation”, bravely undertaken to support the front line of the pandemic combating under the premise of vigorously conducting the pandemic prevention and control work, promoted the local economic development and has been highly praised by all sectors of the society.
“Strict” pandemic prevention + comprehensive work and production resumption: striving to win the double-line battle
"Early planning, early action and early effect exertion" are the principles set by China Capital Logistics in the pandemic prevention and control work, and it is also an important reason why China Capital Logistics can effectively control the pandemic situation subsequently, laying a solid foundation for the resumption of work and production.
This is the first time China Capital Logistics has responded to an emergency. The outbreak of the pandemic brought a huge challenge to the unprepared China Capital Logistics. Prior to this, this young enterprise had no experience in dealing with large-scale emergency, so the pressure was enormous.
On January 22, China Capital Logistics launched an emergency response for the pandemic prevention and control, and established an emergency management team for the pandemic prevention and control promptly; successively held 4 safety committee meetings and 9 special meetings to continuously deepen and detail prevention and control measures and improve the working mechanism; formulated and issued multiple notices, systems, schemes, etc. related to the pandemic handling, etc., effectively ensuring the stability and safety of the pandemic prevention and control situation of China Capital Logistics.
Meanwhile, since the outbreak of the pandemic, China Capital Logistics Co., Ltd. has strengthened communication and coordination with local governments while carrying out its own pandemic prevention work to form a joint prevention and control mechanism. In the pandemic prevention and control, China Capital Logistics strictly controls park entry inspection, park disinfection, canteen guarantee and patrol inspections; it purchased anti-pandemic materials such as masks, alcohol and disinfectants in compliance with laws and regulations; gave care to employees in areas with high pandemic incidence. Overall consideration was given to resource guarantee, manpower allocation, and equipment conditions. The employees’ work resumption time was real-timely followed up and reported every day, and employees were uniformly arranged in the dormitory for observation, ensuring the smooth work and production resumption of China Capital Logistics and the main engine plant.
China Capital Logistics Co., Ltd. is an important enterprise in Shunyi District, so its full resumption of work and production is the greatest support for local economic development. As a state-owned logistics company, China Capital Logistics has been sensitively aware as early as January 25 that the enterprise could not stop operations due to the pandemic. Afterwards, China Capital Logistics immediately organized relevant business departments to quickly formulate, track and update the national road restrictions in real time according to the real-time changes in the central and local government policies, communicate and share information throughout the process, and establish a series of service guarantee programs such as logistics guarantee for the complete vehicle after the holiday and transportation bypass.
After the resumption of work, China Capital Logistics overcame the road pressure caused by the pandemic, fully supported the resumption of work and production of the main engine plant and the logistics guarantee of key projects, increased the proportion of intermodal transportation, and gave priority to the intermodal logistics for areas with rich iron and water resources. On February 10, 100% of China Capital Logistics' highway, railway and waterway transport capacity was restored, and all logistics warehouses in all regions (except for Wuhan) were operating normally. While carrying out various logistics guarantees of BAIC Group, it also strongly supported the local resumption of work and production, making a contribution to the regional economic development.
Logistics company against all odds: China Capital Logistics supported the national front line of pandemic prevention
During the special period, China Capital Logistics paid more attention to social responsibility as a state-owned enterprise, and successfully completed special delivery tasks for many times, tried its best to ensure the safety and timely delivery of the pandemic prevention materials.
BAIC Group donated 24 BAIC EV-5s as fully enclosed transport vehicles for pandemic prevention materials to Hubei, Zhejiang, Hunan, Beijing, Guangdong and Henan, etc. through China Charity Federation. China Capital Logistics undertook the transportation task.
On February 10, on the day that China Capital Logistics received the transportation task, it quickly established a transport capacity mobilization team, clearance procedures handling and logistics material guarantee team. In just 6 hours, the non-local mobilization of 6 transport vehicles was completed. At 19 o'clock p.m., the first batch of three vehicles were officially delivered to Beijing. A red sonorous and forceful slogan “Pandemic combating- China Capital Logistics is in action” was hung high on each of the vehicles. On February 12, the handover of vehicles to hospitals in Wuhan, Huanggang, Xiaogan and other places hardest hit by the pandemic was completed. At 13:20 on February 15, as the last batch of 3 vehicles was delivered in Guangdong, all 24 BAIC EV5s arrived at the designated hospitals, successfully completing the transportation guarantee task. China Capital Logistics has supported the national pandemic prevention work with practical actions.
China Capital Logistics has repeatedly transported emergency anti-pandemic supplies to the capital Beijing. In order to alleviate the tight supply of masks, the Beijing Development and Reform Commission urgently went to Dongguan, Guangdong to purchase mask manufacturing machines. On February 20, China Capital Logistics received information about assisting transportation. Liu Ziyang, the Deputy General Manager of China Capital Zhuzhou who was in charge of this task, knew that he needed to race against time. After intensive preparation, in Zengcheng, Guangdong, which is the nearest to the dispatch point, the vehicle was ready and the personnel were in place. The machines completed the test at 4:30 pm on February 21 and started being shipped smoothly.
In view of the capability and responsibility of China Capital Logistics, Beijing has assigned China Capital Logistics the task of transporting four batches of pandemic prevention materials from Guangdong to Beijing. Relying on their sense of responsibility and strong strength, China Capital’s employees finally succeeded in achieving the long span from South to North, and rewarded the trust of the people in Beijing with their actions.
China Capital Logistics provided a strong guarantee for BAIC Group and its system enterprises. With the rapid spreading of the pandemic, BAIC Foton actively responded to the production task of negative pressure ambulance issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Facing the dual challenges of production task and distribution task, BAIC Foton Logistics' transportation drivers gradually became insufficient. China Capital Logistics always led all tasks based on the concept of the group integration. Facing the difficulties of associate companies, 12 drivers were voluntary to assume the support task rather than gathering with families on January 5 in the lunar calendar. They overcame various difficulties such as traffic control and took instant noodles and bread as meals, and transported vehicles to associate organizations from Beijing to Jiaodong twice, guaranteeing the "BAIC credit".
In addition, China Capital Logistics has also delivered masks and other important protective materials for BAIC Group many times, strongly supporting the group's systemic pandemic prevention and control work.
Party flag "flying against the wind": Party member assault team for "anti-pandemic and resumption of work" worked at the front line
China Capital Logistics knew that the focus of pandemic prevention and control was at the grassroots level, and that pandemic prevention and control was also a test for the grassroots organization. In this regard, the Party Committee of China Capital Logistics took the pandemic as the examination and provided a satisfactory answer with the party construction work.
"Ideological guidance" provides a strong political guarantee for the overall situation of China Capital. The Party Committee of China Capital Logistics immediately deployed various grass-roots branches to actively assume the responsibility of the “first line of defense” for the pandemic prevention and control, and actively responded to the “Test”. The Party Committee of China Capital Logistics practically gave full play to its political leadership and actively organized party members and cadres to carefully learn and implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the pandemic prevention and control work through "Learning to Strengthen the Nation" APP, WeChat push and teleconference, etc. to strengthen the "four consciousnesses", stick to “four self-confidences”, live up to “two maintenance” and fully learn the extreme importance and urgency of the pandemic prevention and control. A pandemic protection mechanism for grassroots leading cadres was established to strengthen grid management of departments, teams and other grassroots units, and build a strict line of defense for group prevention and governance.
On February 9, the China Capital Party Committee organized held the Pandemic Control Re-deployment, Re-implementation & Spring Work and Production Resumption Oath-taking and Mobilization 2020 Conference with the theme of "Taking responsibility, taking the lead, becoming backbones, strengthening confidence, warming people’s heart and gathering People's heart, winning the anti-pandemic war, and precisely striving to guarantee the commencement" in form of telephone conference, to call on all party members and cadres and the masses of workers to strengthen their confidence, unite together, overcome the difficulties together, resolutely win the battle against the pandemic prevention, and make accurate efforts to ensure the commencement and ensure that all business tasks throughout the year are successfully completed!
In addition, when the pandemic began, the China Capital Party Committee strengthened its propaganda work and strengthened ideological guidance relying on carriers such as "China Capital Community" WeChat account, so that the employees can grasp information related to the pandemic in a timely and effective manner, and treat it scientifically to prevent panic. In addition, planning was strengthened, and typical characters and deeds of China Capital’s employee in the pandemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production were excavated, playing a positive role in inspiring morale and cohesiveness and building a good image.
"Party flag flutters." The Party member assault team always work on the front line. A branch is a fortress, and a party member is a banner. All 7 grassroots party branches of China Capital Logistics have formed a Party member assault team, and 187 party members all showed the solemn commitment of "Swearing to win both prevention & control and operation; I will not stop fighting until the pandemic was eradicated" to the party flag!
During the “Love Activity: Blood Donation for Pandemic Prevention” carried out by BAIC ROCAR, Zhang Xuemei, the Secretary of the Party Committee of China Capital, said to nurses during the blood donation, “the loving blood donation is more important specially in the special period. At this time, as a party member and cadre, you must rush to the front, and you cannot just let the masses take on these responsibilities.”
On February 28, the China Capital Party Committee actively responded to the call to hold a donation activity. 319 people from the 4 party branches of China Capital Logistics in Beijing participated in it, including 110 party members and 209 non-party members. The total donation amount was RMB 26,240.

He strictly controlled the personnnel entrance and exit passages and tried his best to ensure the safety of all villagers. In addition to contributing to the prevention and control of the pandemic in his hometown, he also actively participated in various pandemic prevention work of China Capital Zhuzhou Company.

Liu Qifeng has celebrated the Spring Festival in his post for three consecutive years. He intended to spend a peaceful spring festival with his families this year. However, the pandemic hit suddenly. He voluntarily devoted to the pandemic prevention battle before he had time to reunite with his families. He urgently purchased masks and disinfectant hither and thither. By means of the persistence, he collected a large amount of anti-pandemic materials for others; he also disclosed his mobile phone number as the 24-hour pandemic prevention and control hotline...
The year 2020 was bound to be extraordinary. In this national anti-pandemic battle, all cadres and employees of China Capital Logistics repeatedly completed the transportation of anti-pandemic materials, making the words “China Capital Logistics” more sacred and more weighty. The pandemic was still spreading, and China Capital Logistics is still on the way to ensure the victory of the double-line battle of “pandemic prevention and operation”. China Capital’s employees will continue to shoulder the social mission of state-owned enterprises, unite together, overcome difficulties, and make greater contributions to the sound development of motherland, Beijing and BAIC Group.
“Veterans” made new achievements and won good reputation in Wuhan
Liu Bao has experienced the beauty of the land of China throughout the year and also experienced the driving road in the sweltering summer and chilly winter, from China-Russia, China-North Korea borders of Heilongjiang in the north to Guangxi and Guangdong in the south, and from the border of Xinjiang in the west to coastal areas in the east. Thanks to the 15 years of experience in traveling around the country, Liu Bao has developed a style of dealing with matters prudently although he seems careless most of time.
With many years of work experience and honest and upright character, Liu Bao formally joined the big family of China Capital Logistics in 2017, and he did not forget his original intention. He has made achievements satisfying himself and the organization in China Capital Logistics.
As the pandemic continued to spread in early 2020, BAIC Foton actively responded to the negative pressure ambulance production task issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Facing the dual challenges of production task and distribution task, BAIC Foton Logistics' transportation drivers gradually became insufficient. As a logistics company within the BAIC Group system, China Capital Logistics is obliged to shoulder its responsibility.
January 29 was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. People have the custom of eating dumplings on this day in China. Facing the strike of "novel coronavirus", a team of 12 members gave up the hot dumplings at home on the day and embarked on a long journey with bread, instant noodles, and thermos bottles to support BAIC Foton's transportation guarantee mission. As the captain, Liu Bao drove the vehicle as a logistics support vehicle to follow the team in the whole process.
In order to deliver the vehicles to the front line of the pandemic prevention as soon as possible, the 12 drivers boarded the cabs and drove the Foton Auman tractors to the destination Jiaozhou, Shandong as soon as the training was over. Liu Bao drove the shuttle bus as a logistical support vehicle and accompanied the team.
According to the scheduled plan, they would rush to the destination one day and one night, and then return to Beijing. But the actual road conditions were more complicated than everyone thought. Due to the pandemic, some highways were closed and the highways could not be available, so they had to take the national roads. Some national roads have height restrictions, so they had to detour. "I didn’t have time to eat instant noodles. I dare not drink a sip of water. I entered the service area in about 4 hours. After tires were checked ropes were tied quickly, and drivers were replaced, we resumed our trip. We had to race against time and we must take back the time delayed on the road and deliver the vehicles to the destination.”
In this way, Liu Bao led 11 fellows to rush on the road against all odds all the time, and completed support tasks twice, respectively from Beijing to Jiaozhou of Shandong and Beijing to Linyi. At around 11 p.m. on February 5, when Liu Bao just finished video call with his families, laid down his mobile phone and was about to sleep, a call came and Liu Bao realized, "It's urgent!"
After hundreds of driving experiences, he became famous in Wuhan. When Liu Bao and his fellows provided support for the first time, someone said, "Is there a mission to Wuhan? I sign up!" Nine days later, this statement came true.
At 21:17 on the evening of February 5, China Capital Logistics received a message from Fujian Benz. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology issued a notice requesting that two negative pressure ambulances should be transported separately from the conversion plant authorized by Fujian Benz in Beijing to Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan respectively. Fujian Benz asked whether China Capital Logistics could assist in the delivery.
"At this special moment, China Capital Logistics must do it!" China Capital Logistics immediately made arrangements.
The phone rang at around 11 o'clock p.m. Liu Bao answered the phone. "Now, there is a new task!" "Okay! Leader. Now?" "No, tomorrow morning, you will drive a six-space carrier to Miyun." "Okay, where is the destination?" "Wuhan! Huashenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital ." "Yes, I will leave early tomorrow!"
Just after midnight on February 8, Liu Bao finally handed over two ambulances to the hospital representatives at a petrol station on Dongfeng Avenue in Caidian District, Wuhan. This station is only a few minutes’ drive from the Huoshenshan Hospital. Liu Bao looked at that direction. He knew that the battlefield was over there, representing hope. He had been on the battlefield on behalf of China Capital. At this time, Liu Bao was seriously overworked, sitting in the driving seat like collapse, with a triumphant smile on his face.
It took 28 hours from shipment to delivery; the distance from Beijing to Wuhan is 1,200 kilometers. He overcame severe weather conditions such as heavy snow and fog and arrived in Wuhan 2 hours earlier. This was a race against the pandemic and also a love rush. The arrival day was the Lantern Festival. Although the pandemic hinders reunion, it cannot block the connection of hearts.
On the way back to Beijing, Liu Bao was relaxed, like a victorious soldier. When he jumped out of the vehicle and landed both feet at the parking lot of China Capital Logistics, he was not tired at all, but smiled. At 18:30 p.m. of February 9, Liu Bao drove his carrier and returned to China Capital Logistics Co., Ltd. safely.
