China Capital Logistics: Breakthrough and Innovation are Required in Parts Logistics Services

The development of new energy vehicles has risen to the national strategic level. In the past two years, the traditional automobile brands actively explored the research and development of new energy vehicles, the new force camp of car making was growing continuously, and the Internet enterprises developed across the borders... Driven by policies and capital, the new energy vehicle market has risen rapidly, which has become the focus of the whole society.

The public data indicates that the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles in a single month reached 30% in April 2022. Based on the cumulative sales from January to July, the annual sales of new energy vehicles will exceed 5 million, which has become the consensus of the entire industry. Chen Lin compared the rise of new energy vehicles with the traditional fuel vehicle market. From the macro trend of the development of the entire Chinese automobile industry, the growth trajectory of new energy vehicles today is strikingly similar to the explosive growth of the traditional fuel vehicle market from 2000 to 2010. When China's traditional fuel vehicles entered a turbulent downward trend in 2015, new energy vehicles became a new driving force for the development of the domestic automobile industry, boosting market confidence and providing a strong support for the good development of China's automobile market.

There are many differences between the new energy automobile industry and the traditional automobile industry: Firstly, the battery is the core part of the new energy. For the logistics of automobile parts, the logistics service of battery parts is a new topic. Batteries are dangerous goods. To ensure the safety of battery transportation and storage services, logistics service enterprises need to establish professional service teams and standardized high-standard operation requirements. Meanwhile, the logistics service chain brought by battery components are also extended to the recycling link, and the emergence of new service nodes pose a new test for automobile logistics enterprises; secondly, customization is another feature of new energy vehicles. Customization means that production logistics will also encounter multiple types and classifications even if facing the same component. This is not a simple increase in workload, but puts forward higher requirements for the response speed, operational flexibility and planning professionalism of production logistics, requiring more personalized and flexible logistics services; Finally, the traditional 4S store sales model has been broken through for new energy vehicles and new sales channels such as networks and direct stores have been established. With the change of sales channels, the logistics service chain has also been extended to C-end users. The service covers the whole life cycle of new energy automobile products. After-sales logistics has increasing demand for reverse logistics. Based on the demand change of the whole new energy automobile industry chain, to integrate into the new energy automobile supply chain, automobile logistics enterprises need to constantly make improvement from the dimensions of cost control, standardized operation and systematic construction, etc., to form the matching capability.

Although the new energy vehicle market is developing rapidly, the enterprises on the market are growing differently. New energy vehicle enterprises need the empowerment of automobile logistics services and require the automobile logistics enterprises to play their advantages in the professional logistics field, come up with plans and designs to meet the needs, adopt professional ideas to guide business development, and grow together with them. In order to provide services suitable for customers with different bases and needs, China Capital Logistics launched the Cube Program to penetrate cost accounting into subdivided items and provide more flexible integrated supply chain service solutions through modular customization planning. In addition, China Capital Logistics has continuously strengthened the construction of "1+1+2 capability system", including digital intelligence ecology, resource platform, logistics operation system, and logistics technology system. In addition to improving the construction capacity of the logistics system from 0 to 1, it has also continuously upgraded, copied and expanded the capacity to keep pace with the rapid growth of new energy vehicle enterprises.

In the interactive salon segment of the conference, Chen Lin, representing China Capital Logistics, made exchanges and discussions with representatives from Aptiv, Bosch China, BMW Brilliance, ANJI-CEVA LOGISTICS and FAW Fusheng Logistics, with respect to topics such as the safety and stability of the parts supply chain, quality improvement, costs reduction and efficiency enhancement of parts logistics, as well as the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises of the supply chain, with the theme of “new stage, new thinking, and new pattern of the development of the automobile supply chain”. Chen Lin proposed that, with the development of the new energy automobile market, the automobile logistics industry has entered a new stage simultaneously. For ensuring the safety and stability of the parts supply chain or boosting the costs reduction and efficiency enhancement of the whole chain, it is essential to form a penetrating understanding for the whole market supply chain, and more importantly, to form a standardized collaborative awareness of the whole supply chain upstream and downstream, Only in this way can every enterprise in the supply chain be guaranteed to obtain reasonable profits and form an industrial chain environment with sound growth.
