Road transport vehicles have been upgraded. China’s highway transportation volume remains above 34 billion tons. Under the overload control, the non-conforming models are eliminated, the single vehicle carrying capacity is reduced, and the infrastructure demand is picking up. The overall demand for semi-trailer and special vehicle will continue to grow. With the advancement of the specialization construction of the logistics industry, more professional semi trailers such as van cars and refrigerated vehicles will be used for goods with high requirements for packaging and transportation to replace ordinary flat cars. After the mandatory installation / upgrading of the safety system for the lower breast board / grate semi-trailer of the new national standard, the price advantage is also offset, further promoting the release of the demand for professional semi-trailer.
