Recently**Finance Committee convenes its fourth meetingto study large-scale equipment renewal and effective reductionThe cost of logistics in the whole societyIssue. The meeting emphasizedReducing the logistics cost of the whole society is an important measure to improve the efficiency of economic operation.
in recent years".reduce logistics costs".low-price investment", * war can be described as a storm. Enterprises believe that reducing logistics costs is to reduce the freight costs of cooperative logistics companies. This has led to lower and lower profits for logistics companies, and life is difficult. But in fact, the logistics cost is too high, not a one-way increase in logistics costs by logistics enterprises, but caused by many factors, such as the difference in the level of logistics infrastructure construction in various places ("strong in the east and weak in the west", "strong in the city and weak in the countryside", "strong inside and weak outside"), the difference in economic development between the east and the west, and the imbalance in the structure of road, rail and water transportation.
The meeting proposed to strengthen the following three aspects to further reduce logistics costs:
First, to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society, it is necessary to increase the construction of logistics infrastructure network
Reducing logistics costs is not the same as simply reducing logistics or express delivery, but from the overall situation, planning from multiple angles, adjusting structure, promoting reform, and effectively reducing transportation costs, warehousing costs, and management costs. It is necessary to increase the construction of logistics infrastructure, continue to promote the construction of the first-class logistics system in counties and villages, and extend the service tentacles to production, warehousing, distribution and other links while sinking the logistics network.
In 2023, China will build 30 new national logistics hubs, and a total of 125 logistics hub systems covering the whole country and rich types will be formed, providing strong support for the development of industrial logistics clusters. In the future, around logistics hubs at all levels, it is necessary to further break through the blockages, make the rural logistics network increasingly sound, and make up for the logistics shortcomings. This is mainly due to the increase in investment in logistics infrastructure at the national level to reduce logistics operating costsHopefully, one day we'll have more highways with lower tolls or even free of charge.
Second, to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society, it is necessary to promote the "road to rail" and "road to water" as soon as possible
As the main artery of the national economy and the backbone of three-dimensional transportation, railways and water transportation play a pivotal role. The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen the "road to rail" and "road to water", and deepen the reform of the comprehensive transportation system. Its purpose is to reverse the situation of "one dominant company" in road transportation, give full play to the comparative advantages of low cost of waterway transportation, green and low-carbon, and large railway transportation, and continuously improve China's comprehensive transportation system.
According to the development experience of foreign countries, as well as the investment in railway infrastructure construction in recent years, the proportion of rail, air and water transportation will gradually increase in the future, reducing the dependence on road transportation, which will also greatly reduce the cost of logistics and transportation.
Third, to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society, it is necessary to accelerate the digital transformation of logistics
The construction of a low-cost and high-efficiency logistics service system is inseparable from the comprehensive support of digital technology. It is necessary to use modern information technology to promote the digitalization of logistics elements, develop diversified application scenarios, and realize the online and offline linkage of logistics resources. It is necessary to grasp the direction of digital, networked and intelligent developmentImprove the penetration rate of digital technology in the whole process of the logistics industry, and promote the accurate matching and optimal allocation of people, vehicles, goods and roadsAs a result, the proportion of total social logistics costs in GDP will be further reduced.
At present, the accurate matching and optimization of people, vehicles, goods and roads in the digitalization of logistics has reached a certain level, and the digital intelligent transformation is more to promote the improvement of the intelligence and automation level of small and medium-sized logistics enterprises.
