signed a number of cooperation
on April 3, according to Ningde times official micro-news, recently, shentong express and Ningde times formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Ningde, Fujian province. the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the fields of green logistics, vehicle electrification, charging and changing facilities, battery life cycle management, etc, jointly promote the low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the express delivery industry.
it is reported that fuel cost is one of the biggest pain points in express trunk transportation. Ningde era joint host factory in-depth Shentong use scene, in the battery power, layout, vehicle self-weight and other dimensions of customized development. Taking the 400km line from Shanghai to Ningbo as an example, the energy consumption benefit of 0.8 yuan/km is realized compared with the standard ton of traditional fuel vehicles. Even after comparing the depreciated value of fuel vehicles, the cost saving of 0.3 yuan -0.5 yuan per kilometer can still be realized.
In the construction of charging and switching power stations, Ningde era direct-hit electric heavy trucks in the trunk transportation for a long time to face the pain points of anxiety, low energy efficiency, insufficient infrastructure coverage and so on. At present, Ningde era has laid out more than 300 Li Ji power stations, and plans to build more than 900 stations nationwide in 2026. The layout of the power station and Shentong Express new energy heavy truck operation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta three core economic circles highly overlap, can provide the whole process of Shentong trunk transportation can be guaranteed.
In this strategic cooperation, Ningde Times will join hands with Shentong Express to give full play to its advantages in resources and technology, create a benchmark for the integration of new energy and express logistics, and promote the green, intelligent and efficient upgrading of the industry.
on April 2, Ningde era also formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with yichun base in Ningde era.
according to reports, as early as July 2016, yiyun co., ltd. opened Yichun’s first pure electric intercity bus line (Yichun to wanchai), and its core power system is equipped with Ningde era lithium iron phosphate battery. The large-scale commissioning of new energy vehicles has significantly reduced operating costs, and fuel costs per kilometer have dropped by more than 60%. Since then, Yiyun shares will replace more lines with new energy vehicles, covering more than 160 villages and towns.
This cooperation will upgrade the relationship from pure battery use to full life cycle collaboration. Ningde era through the authorized service station, Ningjia service and other models, landing commercial vehicle power battery maintenance and testing business, to promote the development of the vehicle after the market. Relying on the existing 31 station resources of Yiyun shares, the two sides will jointly discuss and promote the construction of “optical storage, charging and inspection” integrated integrated energy station, integrated photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, power exchange, V2G two-way charging and other functions. The bus will further enhance the value of the battery life cycle through the mode of “charging at low ebb and reverse discharge at peak times.
It is worth mentioning that in the field of public transportation, Ningde era has also signed a number of cooperation this year.
On March 25, Sanming Transportation Group and Ningde Times formally signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement in Ningde, Fujian.
