News Rising road freight volume drives up overall freight index
release date:2015-05-27 Views:0 Back to list
In March, Ningbo's highway freight volume was 10,000 tons, an increase from the previous month. The growth in freight volume has played a positive role in the slight increase in the overall freight index. However, because the freight index is affected by a variety of factors, the changing trends of the freight index are different for different transportation types. Among them, the container freight index fell slightly, mainly because upstream customers lowered transportation prices and vicious competition among transportation industry households offset some of the benefits brought by the increase in container transportation volume (up by 10,000). The general cargo truck transportation market was affected by the traditional peak season. Driven by transportation demand derived from the Tomb Sweeping Day and May Day holidays, expectations for a slight increase in freight rates have been realized. In the hazardous chemicals transportation market, on the one hand, due to the gradual start of operations in large-scale end-use oil industries such as domestic logistics, factories, industrial and mining, and infrastructure construction, the demand for gasoline and diesel transportation has gradually increased. On the other hand, the warmer weather has brought about the peak season for liquefied product transportation demand. Both of them have supported the upward trend of the hazardous chemicals freight index. |
