hot wire! Joint efforts of three national departments, stone transport costs or to reduce!

As we all know, the stone unit value is low, which leads to the limited economic transportation radius. Generally, the road transportation distance is not more than 200 km, so it has been known as “short leg” products. However, this situation is expected to usher in a turnaround soon.
According to the latest news report, on June 2, the Ministry of transport, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the notice of “implementation plan for comprehensively promoting differentiated toll collection of expressways” (hereinafter referred to as “the notice”).
The notice requires that Xi Jinping, guided by the socialist ideology with China’s characteristics in the new era, thoroughly implement the decision making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, further deepen the structural reform of supply side in the field of transportation, adhere to the system concept, plan the whole road network resources, dig deeper into the space, make measures according to local conditions, innovate the service mode, strengthen technical support and improve policy guidance. We should comprehensively promote Expressway differential charging, continuously improve the traffic efficiency of expressway network, reduce the travel cost of expressway, promote the cost reduction and efficiency increase of logistics industry, and let the public share more of the dividend of Expressway reform and development.
The notice also pointed out that on the basis of in-depth summary of the experience of pilot project of differential toll collection of expressways, local highway network structure and operation characteristics should be fully considered, and appropriate differentiated charging methods, innovative service modes, scientific and accurate differential charging schemes should be formulated, and differential charges should be comprehensively promoted.
Industry insiders said that highway transportation has been an important way of stone transportation, especially in recent years, the popularity of highway has expanded, greatly expanding the economic transportation radius of stone.
Taking Henan as an example, Henan is located in Central Plains, with flat terrain and convenient traffic, especially expressway. By 2020, the total scale of the expressway in the province is 7100 km, and the total scale has been the first square in China for more than ten years. Thanks to the superior transportation conditions, the surrounding Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other places can be transported to the hinterland of Henan market. In addition, in recent years, the freight industry has developed rapidly, with a large increase in capacity, intensified market competition, and the decreasing freight, and the economic transportation distance of stone materials increases.
Based on this, the above-mentioned industry said that the current highway differential charging rules have not been issued, the impact on the transport of goods is unpredictable, but if the high-speed charges can be further reduced, it will undoubtedly help stone to expand the transport radius, so that the enterprise sales more flexible.
It is particularly important to note that in recent years, due to the increasing price difference of stone area and the improvement of road transportation conditions, the overall interaction of the domestic stone market is increasing. The trend of regional market from closed to open is growing, and the flow of stone across regions is increasing.
This plan is formulated to implement the deployment requirements of the 2021 government work report, further improve the highway network traffic efficiency and service level, and promote the cost reduction and efficiency of logistics.
1、 General requirements
Guided by Xi Jinping’s socialist ideology with China’s characteristics in the new era, we should thoroughly implement the decision making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, further deepen the structural reform of supply side in the field of transportation, adhere to the system concept, plan the resources of the whole road network, dig deeper into the space, make measures according to local conditions, innovate the service mode, strengthen technical support and improve policy guidance. We should comprehensively promote Expressway differential charging, continuously improve the traffic efficiency of expressway network, reduce the travel cost of expressway, promote the cost reduction and efficiency increase of logistics industry, and let the public share more of the dividend of Expressway reform and development.
The following principles should be adhered to in the comprehensive promotion of differential toll collection of expressway:
——We will adhere to the guidance of the government and promote jointly. We should stress the role of government guidance, strengthen the top-level design and communication coordination, guide the expressway management units to participate in the independent and active participation, promote differentiated charges scientifically and efficiently, and constantly improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of highway network resources.
——We should adhere to local conditions and implement policies by classification. Encourage local governments to make measures according to local conditions and road conditions, analyze and calculate in depth, classify and accurately implement policies, explore and implement differentiated charging modes and supporting policy measures suitable for local characteristics on the basis of not weakening the solvency of expressway, give full play to the functions of flow regulation, cost reduction and efficiency, and strive to achieve win-win results.
——We should adhere to reform and innovation and improve the mechanism. We will focus on promoting the innovation of toll road system and management services, strengthening the technical support of the Internet toll system, exploring and establishing a dynamic adjustment mechanism of toll standards, simplifying the approval process, strengthening policy guidance, and continuously optimizing and improving the long-term mechanism of differential toll collection of expressway.
2、 Key tasks
On the basis of in-depth summary of the experience of the pilot project of differential toll collection of expressways, the local highway network structure and operation characteristics should be fully considered, and the appropriate differentiated charging mode, innovative service mode, scientific and accurate differential charging scheme should be formulated, and differential charges should be comprehensively promoted.
(1) Differentiated charge of the branch section. Further optimize and improve the differentiated toll mode of the road sections, and steadily expand the implementation scope of differential charges. The focus is on the sections with serious congestion on the main roads or urban roads in general provinces but the traffic flow of parallel highways is small, the sections with large traffic volume difference between parallel highways and those with significantly lower traffic volume than the design capacity, and implement flexible and diverse differential charges, balance the distribution of traffic flow of road network with price lever, and improve the overall operation efficiency of regional road network, Promote the regional logistics transportation cost reduction and efficiency.
(2) Differentiated charge by model (category). We will continue to deepen the differential preferential policies for different types of vehicles. Strengthen technical innovation and management innovation, and combine with actual situation, carry out differential charges on special transport vehicles such as ordinary freight cars of different models (types) or international standard container transport vehicles, dangerous goods transport tank vehicles, etc., to improve professional transportation efficiency, support logistics transportation transformation and upgrading, and promote the development of real economy.
(3) The fee is differentiated by time. Focusing on the highway sections with obvious peak and valley traffic volume and more commuting functions, the differentiated charging standards are implemented in different periods, which will guide passengers and freight vehicles to travel at different peak times, alleviate traffic congestion in peak period, balance the spatial and temporal distribution of road network and improve the smooth level of road network.
(4) Differentiated charge for the entrance and exit. Through the analysis and demonstration of big data, the special sections and specific entrances and exits of adjacent parallel sections with large traffic volume difference, and expressway projects around the city are emphasized, and the implementation effect of accurate and quasi flow regulation and cost reduction is expanded.
(5) The charge is differentiated by direction. The highway with obvious one-way transportation characteristics in resource provinces can be differentiated in the upward and downward directions, and the price lever can be used to guide vehicles to use highway resources scientifically and reasonably.
(6) The different payment method is charged. Further improve the preferential mode of etc electronic payment, encourage vehicle installation and use etc non parking Expressway by increasing the preferential strength of etc electronic payment, improve the traffic efficiency of road network and promote the quality and efficiency of logistics.
