The implementation of the Highway Safety Regulations has made the bleak 2011 heavy truck market worse


The “Road Safety Protection Regulations” was formally implemented on July 1, 2011. Heavy-duty dealers stated that the implementation of the regulations is aggravated by the current bleak heavy truck market. According to the heavy truck dealer, he mainly operates Dongfeng commercial vehicles in Shanghai, and concurrently runs heavy trucks such as FAW Jiefang, Futian Auman, and JAC Gehrfa. The company sold only 20 vehicles in June, compared with 2010. More than 50 vehicles in the same period of the year have fallen by more than 60%.

The implementation of the "Regulations" on July 1 is the main reason

Some dealers believe that the reason why the market has experienced such a decline is that the "Road Safety Protection Regulations" implemented nationwide on July 1, 2011 is the main reason. On July 1st, the regulations were implemented by many users as the deadline. Today's road transport can only be profitable if it is overloaded. If you do not overload, your income will be reduced, and users will have to consider whether or not to run. Do not run transport, of course, will not buy a car. Affected by this, throughout the month of June, the heavy-duty truck market in many parts of the country was dismal compared to the same period in May and 2010.

According to CNHTC's distributor in Beijing's Fangshan Doudian Automobile City, the heavy-duty truck market in Beijing in June is not very good. There are fewer and fewer customers who set up shop at the store, and the reason for this is also affected by the July 1 deadline. Users are Wait and see.

According to Henan Auman dealers' introduction, the market in Zhengzhou is not very good. The sales volume of heavy trucks in stores in June dropped by 1/4 to 1/3 compared with the same period in 2010. Although the current “Regulations” are implemented in the end, the situation is not yet clear. However, users are obviously very scared. After all, the stipulations of the driver’s license revocation in the “Regulations” are not fun. Therefore, customers are still waiting to see the situation before deciding whether to buy a car.

Difficult market, there are other reasons

For the bleak market, dealers think there are other reasons. The heavy-duty truck market should have faded. Even if there is no such "regulation," there will be a substantial drop. From April to May 2011, the heavy-duty truck market has been weakening day by day. By June and July, the “Regulations” will be like fuses, which will make the heavy-duty truck market that began to suffer from bleakness worse.

With the intensification of domestic inflation and the continuous rise in oil prices, coupled with the fact that in 2010 the transport market has joined so many new troops, the cost of freight transportation is getting higher and higher, and the income received is getting less and less. Therefore, In 2011, people who buy new cars to join the logistics market are gradually reducing.

On the other hand, arbitrary charges on highways are an important factor in the increase of logistics costs, and they are also the reason why many cargo owners have withdrawn from the logistics industry. Even though the “Regulations on the Protection of Highway Safety” has now been implemented, it cannot really solve the problem. If it is truly strictly implemented, there is no problem. However, the problem is that although this is a national laws and regulations, there are one Set of standards.

Judging from past experience, as long as you do not make a big mistake, it is unlikely that an overloaded driver’s license will be revoked. Fines are still the most common means. Therefore, in this sense, the "Regulations" will inevitably be regarded as an important basis for encouraging the traffic police and the toll collection of roads.

In addition, with the rise in the prices of steel and other raw materials, the prices of vehicles of all major manufacturers have risen in different ranges. For example, at the beginning of 2011, different models of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. rose by RMB 5,000-6,000. In early June, the prices of different models were also increased by more than RMB 2,000 each. The increase in vehicle prices also had a certain impact on the decline in the heavy truck market.
