| Drop-and-pull transport has become the main mode of transport to undertake theinland road transport in Europe and the United States and other developed countries andregions. Drop-and-pull transport, set drop-and-pull handling technology andtractor-trailer, is an efficient, intensive mode of transport organization and aconcentrated expression of the level of development in organization, network,large-scale, standardization and information in road freight transport industry,significant advantages in reducing logistics cost, improving transport efficiency,promoting energy conservation. Drop-and-pull transport has not yet been widelypromoted, since the1990s introduced into China. Drop-and-pull transport in other areasand regions has not developed except the eastern coastal port container transport, asmall part of Highway Express Line and Bohai rolling transportation. Road freighttransport is still based on the ordinary monomer trucks.The upper reaches of the Yangtze River truck rolling transportation as one of theimportant way of logistics and transport in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River,began in1998. Compared with traditional truck road transport, the truck rollingtransportation has the advantages of cost savings, reducing fuel consumption, reducingemissions. Since the birth of the mode of transport, has been developing rapidly.However, due to the double impact of the completed of the Shanghai-Chongqinghighway and the financial crisis in2010, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River truckrolling transportation sharp decline in truck traffic. The upper reaches of the YangtzeRiver truck rolling transportation is faced with severe challenges, urgent need fortransformation and upgrading according to market changes.Based on the above issues, according to the market environment changes,introduces drop-and-pull transport mode into the upper reaches of the Yangtze Rivertruck rolling transportation, upgrades of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River truckrolling transportation, re-integration of a variety of transportation resources, and usemodern logistics technology to build the upper reaches of the Yangtze River water andland drop-and-pull transport system of low-power, low-cost, high-efficiency, highdegree of information. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River waterway and road transport through drop-and-pull transport mode in order to improve logistics efficiency,reduce logistics costs, save energy and reduce emissions. |
