Behind the Busy International Logistics Village: Cross-border e-commerce is accelerating.
The year is in spring. Recently, in Shenzhen’s "International Logistics Village", trucks are busy coming in and out here, and the volume of foreign trade freight orders has increased rapidly.
Fuwei Community in Baoan District of Shenzhen is called "International Logistics Village" because it is adjacent to Baoan International Airport and Fuyong Port. Early in the morning, it was busy here, and there was a constant stream of container trucks coming and going. The truck driver took the order early in the morning and rushed to the destination.
A total of 649 logistics companies have settled in the busy "International Logistics Village", with nearly 30,000 truck drivers. After the cross-border bulk cargo is assembled in the warehouse here, it can be sent to the nearby airport by truck for customs clearance and transnational transportation. According to the data of cargo Lala, after the Spring Festival holiday started, the freight volume here increased by 23.5% year-on-year.
According to the person in charge of logistics enterprises, from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2024, a number of head cross-border e-commerce platforms were expanding air logistics transportation in order to make goods go out to sea more efficiently, and the "international logistics village" was therefore busier.
All localities implement new measures to stabilize foreign trade and enhance export competitiveness
Recently, various localities have introduced policies to stabilize foreign trade, helping foreign trade enterprises achieve new development in the New Year and boosting China’s foreign trade to stabilize its scale and optimize its structure.
Recently, Fujian Province issued the Action Plan for Promoting Foreign Trade Export Advantage Industries (2024— 2025). It is proposed to continuously expand the export scale of the two pillar industries of electronic information, petrochemical industry and chemical industry, enhance the export competitiveness of the three traditional dominant industries of textile, shoes and clothing, nonferrous metals and special agricultural products, and actively expand the international market demand of four strategic emerging industries such as lithium batteries and new energy vehicles.
Shaanxi recently issued the "Implementation Opinions on Supporting Enterprises to Explore the International Market", and put forward 16 measures from five aspects: fully expanding the market, cultivating new advantages, developing new formats, upgrading new services, and vigorously grasping security.
In 2024, Jiangsu will provide broader market opportunities and "escort" more foreign trade enterprises to go out steadily by launching the "Jiangsu Excellent Conduct Global" campaign, building a comprehensive service platform for green trade, and continuously promoting the development of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt".
Shenzhen recently issued 24 measures to "stabilize foreign trade", proposing to cultivate and expand automobile exports, enhance processing trade, promote the integration of production, supply and marketing, expand international freight capacity, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of cross-border e-commerce.
The Ministry of Commerce said that it will continue to implement the previous opinions on stable scale and excellent structure of foreign trade issued by the state. According to the new situation and new tasks in 2024, it will promptly carry out a new round of policy research and evaluation, form a "combination boxing" with existing policies, expand the trade of intermediate products such as raw materials, semi-finished products and parts, formulate a catalogue of import and export goods of green low-carbon products, and promote the green development of trade and the digital transformation of the whole chain.
Constantly innovating small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises and bravely entering the global market.
As the most dynamic and growing innovation group, small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises have become an important carrier to cultivate new kinetic energy. In Guiyang, Guizhou, a high-tech small and medium-sized enterprise specializing in driverless field is growing rapidly, and all kinds of driverless vehicles they produce have gone to more than 30 countries around the world.
In the past two days, an unmanned mobile retail car with no head or tail appeared in Qingyun Market in Guiyang for the first time, which attracted many citizens to stop and take photos.
Relying on sensors such as radar and camera on the car body, this driverless retail car can complete the perception of road information and provide sales services for passengers. From the core technology of the chassis to the design, it is all independently developed by a small and medium-sized enterprise with the post-80 s and post-90 s as the main body.
Engineer Chen Hai and his team independently developed the real-time molding model system, combined with AI algorithm design, integrated metal 3D printing and other technologies, and the parts needed for vehicles only need 2-mdash from design to manufacturing; 3 weeks, while traditional automobile manufacturing takes 3-mdash; Six months. The cycle and cost are greatly reduced, which effectively meets the needs of the autonomous driving market with small batch, multiple models and fast iteration.
Yu Chuan, CEO of the company, said that autonomous driving can abandon the definition of transportation and become a platform that can move autonomously.
With this in mind, in 2018, Yu Chuan led a team of only 15 people to start a business. This group of young people with an average age of less than 28 years old, some were originally engaged in robotics, and some were transformed from the automotive engineering industry. They were enthusiastic, but they were not optimistic at first.
Financing is blocked and the initial capital consumption is too fast, which makes the start-up enterprises face serious financial difficulties. Yu Chuan told reporters that even during the Spring Festival two years ago, he was still raising funds to pay employees.
In the face of difficulties, Zhang Ming, the person in charge of technical support of the company, and many other employees took the initiative to take out their savings and continue research and development.
The young team’s hard work and technological innovation have also made the local government see their potential for development and growth. Give financial support, help enterprises to reduce relevant taxes and fees, reduce their worries, and coordinate multiple departments to provide them with test roads.
In the past seven years, this young team has expanded from the initial dozen to more than 200, of which 58% are R&D personnel. More than 200 patents have been applied for innovative technologies in China, Europe and the United States.
In Guizhou, the scale of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises is growing. In 2023, there were 1,747 high-tech SMEs in Guizhou. Relying on the local industrial advantages of developing big data, enterprises continuously improved their scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and the output value of high-tech industries in the province grew at an average annual rate of 14.2%.
