At present, the national economy has been greatly affected by the epidemic. Logistics and freight in China have gone through a very painful time. Facing the saturation of the logistics market and rising costs, the freight charges for freight drivers have not risen, but have fallen. In the harsh environment, freight drivers have had to change tactics, doing business and tires.
According to data from a survey agency, single transportation within 200 kilometers and within 200-500 kilometers has gradually become the mainstream of single road transportation. Due to rising costs, long-haul freight is becoming less and less cost-effective, except in special cases such as remote areas. Fierce competition keeps cargo owners dwindling profits, and toll and fuel costs cannot be cut. Many truck owners go to the local area to give money, which has a serious impact on the cash flow of truck drivers. In the absence of money, many trucking drivers choose to operate short-haul freight to make more money to ease the cash flow situation.
More than half of the freight is national/urban roads, followed by highways. Due to the pandemic, truck owners can make less money, and many truck owners choose not to take the highway to save on highway costs. The national road conditions are not as good as the highway, and the tire grip is higher.
For truck drivers, long hauls often mean more frequent maintenance, maintenance and replacement of tires, while tire changes for commercial vehicles often require changing several tires at a time. Disposable tires usually cost tens of thousands of dollars if you opt for some of the more expensive brands of tires. Even if you know that expensive tires have a relatively long lifespan, paying such a high one-time fee is still a pain in the flesh for many heavy-duty truck drivers.
Especially heavy trucks with more tires. While we all know expensive tires are good, we can't afford expensive big brand tires. Some smaller brands are also of good quality. The point is that they are cheap, which is pretty much the only option for truckers. For example, an international brand has more than 2,000 tires, while a better brand may cost more than 1,500 tires, a difference of 500 yuan, and a car with 22 tires that differ by more than 11,000 yuan. This huge gap in tire costs has been infinitely magnified under the epidemic. Faced with this situation, cargo truck owners are lucky to make money. It is impossible to choose tires that perform well but are expensive.
While truck drivers love cheap tires, they absolutely cannot accept inferior products. For freight, the sports car is used all year round and the tires are used so frequently that the tires have to resist first. For freight drivers, tire performance is second, wear resistance and long mileage are very important.
Freight drivers are very cautious about the use of tires. They are price-sensitive, have the highest quality requirements, and are most dependent on brands. Therefore, if you want your heavy truck tire product to be favored by the end market, the most important thing is to do the wear work and repair less. Long-term tires are more likely to be long-term purchases by end-market consumers than tires that are extremely low-priced but have problems every three days.
