It is currently the season for delicious seafood. These seasonal delicacies that are highly favored by consumers are transported through multiple cold chain logistics links such as workshop packaging, cold storage pre cooling and locking, and refrigerated truck transportation, rushing from the production port and breeding base to the consumers' dining tables in a hurry. The efficient operation of the cold chain logistics network ensures consumers' pursuit of freshness, which cannot be separated from the support of equipment such as cold storage and refrigerated trucks. The expansion of the cold chain logistics market is also driving an increase in investment in cold storage construction and sales of refrigerated trucks. The total demand for cold chain logistics business has steadily increased. In the first half of the year, the total demand for food cold chain logistics business was 192 million tons. At 4:00 am, the wind in Bohai Bay was cool. On the surface of the crab pond at Huize Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. in Yong'an Town, Kenli District, Dongying City, Shandong Province, a crab farmer wearing a searchlight is skillfully harvesting the crabs in his boat. The Yellow River mouth hairy crabs with green shells, white bellies, golden claws, and yellow fur are waving their claws in the net cage. In less than 12 hours, these fresh hairy crabs will be delivered to various places through modern cold chain logistics. In the packaging workshop, workers are sorting hairy crabs according to the process. To ensure freshness, we have built a one-stop cold chain logistics distribution warehouse. Before shipment, the hairy crabs will be sent to the refrigerated warehouse for 6 to 8 hours of pre cooling treatment, "said Wang Yingze, General Manager of Huize Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. Pre cooling treatment can maximize freshness and reduce transportation losses. At the company's cold chain logistics distribution warehouse, express delivery vehicles from companies such as China Post, SF Express, and JD.com frequently enter and exit. During the peak sales season, the daily shipment volume of hairy crabs can reach nearly 20000 orders, weighing 40000 to 50000 pounds, "said Wang Yingze. Cold chain transport vehicles transport hairy crabs to the local China Post logistics transit hub. After strict sorting, hairy crabs from various outlets in the Yellow River estuary will be reloaded and sent to various parts of the country. We have launched same day delivery within the same city, next morning delivery within the province, and next day delivery services covering 45 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang in Hebei. These routes are all cold chain direct delivery without intermediate connections, ensuring that hairy crabs are delivered in the best condition. ”Lu Shiyuan, Deputy General Manager of China Post Group Co., Ltd. Dongying Kenli Branch, introduced. In summer, fruits from the south are transported northward, and in autumn, seafood is plump and delicious. Consumers' pursuit of deliciousness is accompanied by the vitality of the booming development of cold chain logistics. According to data released by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, the total demand for food cold chain logistics business in the first half of this year was 192 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.35%; The total revenue of food cold chain logistics service enterprises was 279.94 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.84%. As fresh products enter the peak consumption season, the entire food cold chain logistics industry has a good growth momentum, while its resilience is further strengthened. ”Liu Fei, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the Cold Chain Professional Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, said. The investment scale of cold storage continues to expand. In the first half of the year, the investment in cold storage projects was 22.306 billion yuan. Driven by government planning guidance and market demand, the construction, renovation, expansion, and intelligent transformation of cold storage have accelerated, driving the continuous expansion of investment scale and steady growth of market volume. In June of this year, a "super cold storage" with a total investment of 920 million yuan and a storage capacity of over 150000 tons was officially put into operation in Bainipo Industrial Park, Suixi County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, filling the gap in cold chain logistics in western Guangdong. Starting from this cold storage, seafood and tropical fruits produced in Zhanjiang, Maoming and other places can be placed on the dining tables of citizens in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area within 5 hours. On October 8th, a cargo flight crossing the Eurasian continent landed at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in the morning light. The Atlantic salmon weighing about 4 tons and shimmering with silver scales is unloaded here, and the goods are directly transferred to the international cargo terminal's cold storage for temporary storage through a cold link barge. Imported fresh seafood products can basically achieve 'same day arrival and same day listing'. ”Tan Weiping, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Terminal Co., Ltd., introduced that thanks to the efficient operation of intelligent cold storage and the introduction of convenient customs clearance measures, the import of seafood business has become increasingly smooth. The entire cold storage can cover temperature requirements ranging from minus 25 degrees Celsius to plus 15 degrees Celsius, with 11 dedicated loading and unloading platforms, seamlessly integrated with cold chain trucks, greatly reducing the exposure time of goods in outdoor environments during transportation and minimizing quality loss. ”Tan Weiping introduced that the application of IoT technology in cold storage can achieve real-time monitoring and remote dynamic control of temperature and humidity inside the warehouse, ensuring that environmental parameters are always in the optimal state; At the same time, by optimizing the operation process and introducing automated equipment, the freight station has achieved efficient operation throughout the entire process of rapid warehousing, efficient sorting, and timely shipment. In the first nine months of this year, the cold storage of Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Terminal guaranteed a total of 31000 tons of fresh goods such as frozen, live, and fruits, a year-on-year increase of 36%, accounting for over 48% of the total incoming cargo volume. At present, the average utilization rate of international cargo terminal cold storage is 70%, which can reach 90% during peak periods. Looking at the whole country, the investment in cold storage projects in the first half of this year was 22.306 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.67%. As of the end of June this year, the total capacity of cold storage (mainly public food cold storage in sales areas) was 260 million cubic meters, equivalent to a standard storage capacity of about 104 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.12%. The sales of new energy refrigerated trucks increased by 10548 units in the first half of the year. With the rapid development of fresh food e-commerce and chain catering, the demand for urban distribution is strong, and the sales of light refrigerated trucks are growing rapidly. Meanwhile, driven by policy subsidies and the opening of road rights in multiple regions, the sales of new energy refrigerated trucks have shown strong growth. According to data from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, the sales volume of refrigerated trucks in the first half of this year was 29474, a year-on-year increase of 18.19%; Among them, the sales volume of new energy refrigerated trucks was 10548, a year-on-year increase of 119.61%, and the penetration rate of new energy refrigerated trucks was 35.8%, an increase of 16.5 percentage points year-on-year. In the new energy light truck production workshop of Yutong Group in Zhengzhou, Henan, the machines roar and the production line runs at full capacity. After these cars are taken offline, they will be sent to areas with strong logistics demand such as Shanghai and Guangdong, "said Wang Le, the marketing director of Yutong Light Truck. With the continuous increase in operating mileage, new energy light trucks can be used for daily short to medium distance urban distribution, and are gradually moving towards mainline logistics to meet the transportation needs of intercity and inter provincial transportation. Since the beginning of this year, the cold chain logistics market has been very hot, and new energy light truck refrigerated trucks are highly favored. The order volume of Yutong light trucks has grown rapidly, and the current production line orders have been scheduled until December, "said Wang Le. To better meet customer needs, Yutong Light Truck continues to launch new energy light trucks with higher battery capacity and longer endurance. Driven by high-power products, the sales volume of the company's refrigerated trucks increased by 60% year-on-year from January to August, "said Wang Le." Driven by the trade in policy, the company's refrigerated truck business has a good development momentum, entering 28 new cities from January to August and expanding its coverage area. "" This year, customer demand for refrigerated trucks is very strong, and the transportation volume of refrigerated trucks has maintained a growth rate of 20% for three consecutive months. ”Zhou Chong, the person in charge of Shenmu Cold Chain, said. At present, the company has 458 ambient temperature vehicles and 35 refrigerated vehicles, all of which are new energy vehicles. According to market demand and development needs, the company plans to purchase an additional 150 refrigerated trucks. ”Zhou Chong introduced that according to calculations, the energy consumption of new energy light trucks can save 0.6-0.7 yuan per kilometer, and each vehicle can enjoy a national subsidy of 35000 yuan, further reducing the cost of purchasing cars and giving more confidence to the development of enterprises.
