Not afraid of the decline in freight rates, cross-border transportation, Dongfeng Cummins is very important
Shi Feilong and Dongfeng Tianlong
Shi Feilong, the spokesperson for ISZ engine in Yuxi, Yunnan, is one of them. Here are many stories about his cargo career related to the ISZ engine.
Cross-border transportation is not easy, industry competition is becoming more and more fierce
Shi Feilong used to work in a garage. Later, by chance, he did a little business with his father's friends and shipped the goods with the driver. By chatting with the driver on the way to the cargo, he learned that the truck driver’s income for a year was quite impressive. After thinking about it, he decided to work while studying his driver's license and preparing to develop into the logistics industry. In 2008, when he took his driver's license, he eagerly purchased his first truck.
"My main route is to start from Kunming, to Xishuangbanna, and finally to Laos. It takes about 2,100 kilometers to and from a trip." This multinational transportation line, Shi Feilong can run about 10 miles per month, and this run is near 10 years. At present, accompanying Shi Feilong to and from this line is a 480-horsepower Tianlong sailing tractor equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins ISZ480-50 engine, which has been in use for a year and a half.
"In recent years, the number of people running this route has gradually increased. Even the card friends from the northeast have joined this transportation route to participate in the competition. Moreover, the intensive logistics enterprises in Yunnan are also growing." Shi Feilong He said that in the past two years, he and several companions as individual bosses have become more and more difficult to do business, and almost every transportation revenue has shrunk.
"Recently, the freight rate of this line has dropped by about one-third." To this end, Shi Feilong wanted to set up a team with several card friends, and he was responsible for the operation of the line under the name of the transportation company. However, after several negotiations, it is not ideal. Shi Feilong still feels that in the face of increasingly fierce competition, he must adhere to his own operation mode, and firmly believe that ISZ engine and East Windmill can bring more benefits to themselves.
Dangerous, guaranteed engine brakes help
According to Shi Feilong, the road conditions of the transnational transport line he ran were dangerous, especially in Laos, the average slope was 14% higher than the domestic road section. Therefore, it is often prone to dangerous situations. He said: "Dongfeng Cummins' engine braking function is very good. It provides a good guarantee for the driver on the long downhill section and can effectively reduce the accident."
On the day of July 2017, Shi Feilong passed the long downhill section of an accident and tried the engine brake for the first time. In the downhill section of more than 20 kilometers, this function is very effective to help him control the speed of the car, making the control more comfortable. Dongfeng Cummins' engine braking function also ate a reassurance. In the future cargo road, he walked on such a long downhill section and he was more stable and confident.
Shi Feilong in transit
After accumulating deep feelings in long-distance driving, Shi Feilong changed from the old customer of Dongfeng Cummins to the spokesperson of Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine.
100 kilometers of fuel saving more than 3L
As a spokesperson for ISZ, Shi Feilong became the cross-border “publicity ambassador†of Dongfeng Cummins in his frequent running line. With the increase in the number of times of the application of Scheilong in Laos and the familiarity of the locals, Laos are very interested in Shifeilong's Dongfeng Tianlong. They often go to Shifeilong's car to see the interior of the vehicle and ask him about the vehicle's power problems.
Shi Feilong has a question and answer. As he deepens his understanding, he sometimes visits the “propaganda ambassador†of the Dongfeng Cummins engine and recommends local people to try the vehicles equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins engine. Out of trust in him, some of the cardholders in Laos have gradually replaced their vehicles with cars carrying Dongfeng Cummins.
As an individual car owner, Shi Feilong needs to take care of many aspects, both as a boss and as a driver. How to get a higher income under the same conditions, he often considers this problem.
After some consideration, Shi Feilong wants to build his own team.
From Kunming to Laos, his Tianlong sailing with Dongfeng Cummins engine can save about 70L (equivalent to 3.3L in 100km) compared to vehicles with similar engines, and his car can be compared with other cars. Kayou’s car pulls 1 ton of cargo at a time; according to a month’s run of 10 baht, the overall calculation, he can make more money than other drivers in a month.
This is why Scheider looks at the potential value of the Middle East-style Cummins engine and this freight line. At present, he is thinking about replacing the existing vehicle with the Dongfeng Tianlong flagship 560-horsepower 6X4 tractor and working hard to form a fleet.
It is said that the engine is the heart of heavy trucks, and its importance is self-evident. For the logistics industry, the engine not only determines the transportation efficiency of the vehicle, but also guarantees the profit of the operation. Shi Feilong chose the right engine and decided his own life direction. I believe that soon after, we are likely to see the birth of a new transport fleet.
