According to the Ministry of TransportMinistry of Transport, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, State Post Bureau, All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, China Post GroupIt was officially issued on December 23, 2023"Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Rural Passengers, Goods and Mail".(hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"). The "Opinions" mentioned that the promotion of rural passenger vehicles on behalf of mail express.
Nine departments(8 ministries and commissions + "national team") jointly issued a document to focus on promoting passenger and cargo mail, which is unprecedented in strength and determination.
According to the main objectives mentioned in the Opinions:
By 2027, the qualified county-level administrative districts will achieve full coverage of the integrated development of rural passengers, goods and mail, with more than 100,000 first-class passenger, freight and mail stations in counties and villages across the country, and more than 20,000 rural passenger, freight and mail cooperation linesofA new model of rural transport servicesThe level of rural transport services and sustainable development capacity across the country have been significantly improved, and the people's sense of gain, happiness and security has been significantly enhanced.
So-called"Passenger and cargo mail".It refers to a model of integrated development of rural passenger transport, freight transport and postal express, mainly to allow more rural people to enjoy the same delivery services as in the city through the integration of passenger transport and express logistics resources.
To put it simply, it is "entering the village in a group".
The author has carefully combed through the "Opinions" and will share a few key points with you today. In the new year, I hope that everyone can show their strength and make great achievements in the vast world of rural areas.
On how to "enter the village in a group",For the first time, the Opinions clarify and give three ways
One is to promote "bus transportation".。Relying on the advantages of wide coverage and deep access to the rural passenger transport network, it has passedUrban and rural passenger transport enterprisesBus companies, optimize vehicle scheduling, set stops, andLocal postal and courier companiesOpen the "passenger and freight mail" cooperation line together and use itVehicle luggage compartment, internal belongings storage areaand other mail express.
One is to develop a "freight shuttle".。This mainly refers to freight logistics and postal services in rural areasRegions where there is a high demand for courier services or where most of them are bulky, promoteThe "freight line" mode with fixed time, fixed line and fixed station, will logistics parcels, mail expressIt is distributed from the county seat to the town and village site。For temporaryBulky logisticsdemand, freight vehicle distribution can be organized by appointment in advance to accurately meet the needs of rural logistics delivery.
One is to expand "passenger and cargo mail +".。Combined with the advantages of local industries, guide the development of enterprises"Rural Passenger and Cargo Mail +" e-commerce, tourism, agricultureand other modes; Build a platform to guide rural passenger, freight and mail operators to cooperate with e-commerce enterprises to provide "online ordering, one-click delivery" services for daily consumer goods, agricultural materials to the countryside and agricultural products to the city; Cooperate with scenic spots to provide efficient transportation and delivery services for characteristic scenic products, traditional handicrafts, country house souvenirs, etc.; In cooperation with agricultural and sideline products production and distribution enterprises, we have opened special passenger and freight mail lines such as customized transportation lines for agricultural and sideline products and seasonal transportation lines.
Three ways, from "promotion" to "development" to "expansion", layer by layer. Among them,"Passenger car transportation".It can be seen as a basic way of universal promotion; "Freight Shift Force".It is based on specific needs, further expanding the intensity of entering the village, providing diversified services to meet personalized needs (such as large-scale logistics); "Passenger and cargo mail".It is the icing on the cake of the initiative, the diversification of operations and the integration of sites, which is the "construction" of 'one point and more energy' of rural passenger, freight and mail integration development sites specifically mentioned in the "Opinions".
The fundamental purpose of developing rural passenger mail and goods is to serve rural revitalization and create "inclusive express", but whether it can survive for a long time in the final analysis is inseparable from the word "benefit". How to make "Passenger and Freight Mail" profitable? How to make the operators of the "passenger, freight and mail" integration site make money and continue to operate?
On this key issue, the "Opinions" also give guidance direction:
Construct a "one-point-multi-functional" rural passenger, freight and mail integration development site.How to build it? It can be viewed at three levels
County levelExpand the passenger and cargo mail functions of passenger terminals。The "Opinions" clearly pointed out: YesCounty-level passenger stationOn the basis of retaining the basic service functions of passenger transportExpand comprehensive service functions such as freight logistics, postal express, e-commerce, and tourism, and promote unified warehousing, unified sorting, and unified distribution。On the premise of ensuring the safety of passenger transport and the function of passenger transport services, it is encouragedSet up an independent operation area to carry out the operation process of mail express loading and unloading, security inspection, sorting, handover and so onto improve the efficiency of sorting and shipment.
Township levelBuild an integrated service station。These "integrated service stations" can be relied onTownship passenger stations, urban and rural bus stations, township comprehensive transport service stations, rural road maintenance stations, township postal branches, township supply and marketing cooperativesand other stations to build, expand passenger rides, commodity sales, etcLogistics distribution, mail express delivery, agricultural materials, new energy vehicle charging, car maintenance and other functions.
Rural levelImprove the network of village-level sites。PreferencesRural passenger transport stations, villagers' activity venues, and village entrancesand other convenient points for rural passenger vehicles to stop, utilizationVillage committees, rural supermarkets, village-level e-commerce service points, postal village-level comprehensive convenience service stations (including village post stations, mail Tesco, etc.).and other village-level facilities, integrating passenger transportLogistics distribution, mail express delivery, government services, convenient payment and other functions, to create a wide coverage, complete functions, excellent service of the "one-stop" village-level site.
Objectively speaking,The issuance and implementation of the "Opinions" is still very friendly and promoting。Especially for outlets that have participated or intend to participate in the integrated development of passengers, goods and mail, the "Opinions" give this setSite Building GuideIt can be directly used for implementation, and detailed explanations are given from the selection of the site, the division of functions, the development of business, and the connection and coordination of mutual meanings.
Look at it from another angle,Although the "Site Construction Guide" given in the "Opinions" is aimed at the integrated development of passengers, goods and mail, in fact, many ideas and on-the-ground measures are also applicable to the "express co-distribution" of counties and villagesIt has strong reference value and guiding significance.
It is worth affirming, and at the same time surprisingFor some specific problems and practical difficulties and blockages in the process of "passenger and cargo mail" landing on the ground, the "Opinions" have also been mentioned and clear solutions have been given。For example
Difficulty 1: Urban and rural buses, especially small buses, cannot be mixed with people and goods, and are suspected of violating laws and regulations.
In this regard,The "Opinions" emphasize that safe and reliable rural passenger, freight and mail integration development equipment will be promoted. One of the first tasks is to promote the development of rural passenger, freight and mail integration and adaptation models. On the one hand, encouragementRural passenger transport operatorsPriority is given to rural highway buses equipped with lower or rear luggage compartments, and in accordance with the provisions of the "Passenger Shuttle Luggage Compartment Cargo Transportation Specifications", the luggage compartment is used to transport mail express mail and other items; On the other hand, encouragementBus manufacturerCombined with the needs of the integrated development of rural passengers, freight and mail, optimize the corresponding passenger transport models, and provide more model options for the integrated development of rural passengers, freight and mail.
In addition, the Opinions also encourage their useStandardized logistics turnover bags (boxes) and palletsWait; County-level sites are encouraged to applyAutomated sorting, loading, transportation and other equipment, accelerate the promotion of county, township, and village sitesIntelligent scanning terminals, intelligent mailboxes, intelligent express cabinetsand other equipment applications to improve the service efficiency of sorting, transportation, delivery, delivery and other links.
Difficulty 2: The problem of "secondary charging" or whether rural express delivery can be charged.
In recent years, many rural express delivery outlets (or post stations, express service stations, cooperative collection points, etc.) whose service scope is not within the "free shipping" range, because of the problem of "secondary charges", often rush to the hot search on the Internet, while subjecting to various tortures from the public and **, some have also been interviewed by the local municipal supervisor, postal administration, prices, industry and commerce and other departments, and even given relevant administrative penalties.
The attitude and measures given in the "Opinions" are also very clear on this related issue:The phenomenon of illegal "secondary charges" at the end of the express delivery will be resolutely investigated and dealt withBut before that, the "Opinions" also clearly pointed out:
Strengthen market supervision, and relevant charging items should be clearly marked with prices and publicized on the wall in accordance with regulations.What are "relevant charges"? In connection with the content of the "one point multi-functional" site and the "rural passenger and cargo mail +" we mentioned above, I will take a look at itAll the services in the two categories of "multi-functional" and "+" can theoretically be extended and expanded to value-added services, and relevant fees can be charged。Of course, before determining the charge, it is necessary to make a "price report" to the relevant departments in advance, and at the same time make a public announcement in advance.
Difficulty 3: On the issue of "subsidy".
Previously, the author had done an article on the integrated development of "passengers, goods and mail", and at that time, Lao Tie bluntly said:Although there are basically local subsidies for "passenger and freight mail", this subsidy is a subsidy for bus passenger transport companies, and express company outlets do not. Moreover, some places have introduced a policy of "decreasing subsidies year by year". This makes many participants lack a "sense of full safety", and their own passenger transport companies and outlets do not make money, or even lose money, if they do not subsidize in a few years, this matter is likely to not be able to continue to advance.
The "Opinions" also responded to this question
On the one hand, it is necessary to improve the coordination mechanism and provide support and guarantee from the top-level design and organizational system.
Strive for the support of local party committees and rural party committees, promote the integration of rural passengers, goods and mail into the work objectives or relevant plans for rural revitalization, and coordinate the promotion of the integrated development of rural passengers, goods and mail. PushEstablish a working mechanism led by the first and participated by departments and units such as transportation, industry and information technology, public security, finance, agriculture and rural areas (rural revitalization), commerce, postal management, supply and marketing cooperatives, and postal companies, jointly study and formulate the implementation plan for the integrated development of rural passengers, goods and mailClarify development goals, main tasks, implementation paths, supporting policies, and safeguard measuresto form a multi-departmental work pattern to promote the integrated development of rural passengers, goods and mail.
The second is to improve supporting policies and give real support in the process of implementation.
Co-ordination and synthesisTake advantage of a variety of funding channelsSupport the integrated development of passengers, goods and mail in rural areasInfrastructure construction, opening of cooperative lines, update of adapted vehicles, and construction of information platformsIt will have comprehensive service functions such as freight logistics, postal express delivery, and tourismPriority will be given to the new, renovated and expanded projects of county-level passenger stations to be included in the scope of support。EncouragedUse financial products related to various financial institutions, for the integrated development of rural passengers, goods and mailProvision of financing services
Public data shows thatAs of July 2023, more than 50,000 passenger, freight and mail service stations have been built across the country, more than 8,000 passenger, freight and mail integration lines have been opened, nearly 30,000 mail express buses have been put into operation, more than 7,000 rural freight shuttle buses, and more than 200 million mail express mail have been transported by passenger cars
Obviously, the solid implementation of "passenger and cargo mail" not only reduces the cost of rural logistics and effectively improves the efficiency of distribution, but also allows rural areas to enjoy the same convenient and convenient express logistics collection and delivery services as cities.
The nine departments jointly issued a document, the state strongly supports rural passenger and cargo mail, in the final analysis, it also wants to achieve the last mile of rural express delivery through resource integration and integrated development. For the vast number of rural express delivery outlets, in the increasingly fierce competition and difficult to survive in the market environment, it is also a way to break through to participate in the integrated development of "passengers, goods and mail".
Everything is ready, and the east wind is coming. What do you think?
