[Explanation] In recent years, the express delivery industry has developed rapidly, and with it it has faced increasingly arduous environmental and efficiency challenges.
In order to promote green, sustainable and healthy development, China Express Logistics, a leading company in China's express logistics industry, joined hands with Cummins, a global power technology pioneer, to hold the world premiere ceremony of "Efficient and Clean Energy Logistics Power Solutions" in Shanghai on September 25.
The "National VI" emission regulations will be fully implemented in 2021, the emission testing of commercial vehicles will also become more stringent, and natural gas engines are currently recognized as a clean energy source.
It is understood that Zhongtong Express has the largest domestic transportation fleet, with nearly 10,000 trunk logistics vehicles.
This time, with the "blessing" of the new natural gas national six heavy-duty power solution, it can provide natural gas clean energy power for heavy-duty trucks with different design requirements, meet increasingly stringent emission regulations and meet the challenges of lower operating costs.

Because (we) have used more than 10,000 vehicles, because the amount of diesel we use every day is also particularly large, and it may also be the largest in the country.
Our consideration is to say that gas is particularly economical, and we ourselves require express delivery to be fast and efficient, and the requirements for vehicles, vehicle utilization and attendance rates are particularly high.
We found that the effect of using gas is very obvious.
Because of the 15-liter natural gas engine, after we used it, we also tested it online. The effect is particularly good. We are about 21, 22 kg and 100 kilometers (gas consumption). When the load is about 33 tons, the effect is Obviously, in the past, our diesel (engine) was about 22 to 23 liters for about 100 kilometers (fuel consumption).
[Explanation] Cummins Vice President Shi Naesen said in an interview that through the optimized integration of the engine and gearbox, the compatibility of the engine and gearbox can be maximized, and the effect of 1+1>2 can be achieved, with lower fuel consumption and more The characteristics of safety, higher efficiency, smarter and more comfortable are very suitable for the working conditions of China's express logistics and transportation industry.

We are very surprised to see that China's express logistics industry is developing rapidly, and the speed of such development is second to none in the world.
Natural gas (power solutions) can reduce our carbon footprint, enable us to achieve business goals, and most importantly, contribute to green and sustainable development.
[Explanation] It is understood that the estimated size of the 3000 natural gas fleet in the ZTO Express plan will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3,500 tons per year.
Some insiders pointed out that the world premiere of the "efficient and clean energy logistics power solution" is expected to become a new green benchmark for logistics power, and promote technological progress and industrial upgrading in the industry.
