The difference in oil prices at home and abroad determines that the future trend of China's oil prices will continue to rise slightly. Recently, domestic gasoline and diesel prices rose again. The constant rise in oil prices, rising automotive raw materials, and the full implementation of the National III emission standards have made domestic environmental sanitation companies and individual environmental sanitation households under pressure from high costs. The sanitation industry is entering a era of low profit.

The sanitation industry is the main customer of the sanitation special-purpose vehicle. The data shows that in 2008 about 500,000 sanitation-specific vehicles were digested by the sanitation and environmental sanitation industry. Their response to market changes has a direct impact on China's sanitation-type special-purpose vehicle market. The Impact Sanitation Enterprises Cannot Bear

The rise in oil prices has created a very passive situation for business operations. In terms of freight rates for customers, they have not raised their prices, and they have not dared to say that they are raising prices. For a long time, the price competition between environmental sanitation companies in the market has made the cost risk very large. In the face of rising oil prices, the company's profit margin has basically been flat, and sometimes there will be negative freight. Businesses are looking for price increases and they are worried that their competitiveness will be weakened. There will be an embarrassing situation where they want to raise prices without raising prices. Because the price increase will take the risk of losing customers, this is a situation that sanitation companies are more reluctant to see.

The cost of sanitation has risen due to rising oil prices. This part of the cost cannot be entirely passed on to consumers in the face of a competitive environment where price competition is being waged. Enterprises can only do everything they can to drive down costs. Many companies in the sanitation industry are worried about losing customers and have not adjusted their freight rates accordingly. The entire sanitation industry is facing challenges.

While almost all sprinkler companies are struggling to raise prices, there is another issue that bothers them: “oil shortages”. Under the background of continuous price increase of refined oil products, the “oil shortage” has appeared in people's expectations. The shadow of shortage of oil still entangled the sanitation industry, especially the special vehicle sanitation market is the biggest victim of this “oil shortage”. The continuous rise in oil prices has led to a substantial increase in the cost of sanitation. However, if the situation of fuel supply continues to deteriorate, the company may be in trouble at any time.

Fuel-efficient vehicles favored

As oil prices continue to rise, how to maximize fuel economy has become the most concerned issue for environmental sanitation companies and individual sanitation households. Sanitation trucks and special vehicles with high fuel-efficient performance have naturally become the users' first choice. In fact, as early as 2006, domestic auto companies began research and development in related areas. In recent years, Chinese automakers such as Sinotruck, Valin, Shaanxi Auto, and Nanjing Auto have all launched new cars with the theme of “fuel saving”. We will, and have successively studied high-tech sanitation vehicles, the effect is obvious.

As for the large number of non-fuel-saving vehicles currently on the sanitation market, experts have also given suggestions for use: reasonable and legal modification, maintenance and good driving habits. According to reports, an experienced driver's fuel-saving operation (without damaging components) can save 3 L of fuel per 100 km. When driving 150,000 kilometers per year, it can save 4 600 L of fuel.

With the rise of oil prices, the promotion of “weight-based toll collection” and the implementation of the National III emission standards, prices are not the decisive factor for customers to purchase sprinklers, and car buyers are more concerned with the fuel consumption, quality, and after-sales service of vehicles.

Insiders pointed out that from the current point of view, the external environment has to allow sprinkler companies to improve their operational quality and competitiveness, tap potentials in operations and production, and tap potentials in management to reduce costs. The use of scientific means of transport, reducing the number of sanitation, increasing the loading rate, and rationally arranging the vehicle allocation plan have almost become the consensus of the environmental protection enterprises in reducing costs. The person thinks that the fuel price increase is like a “double-edged sword”, which not only brings cost pressures to the operation of the sanitation and environmental sanitation enterprises, but also strengthens scientific management for enterprises, accelerates structural adjustment, and promotes the transformation of economic growth patterns. , provides strong driving force.

The development of special vehicles for sanitation

The continuous rise in oil prices has stimulated the environmental sanitation enterprises' concerns about their own survival, and has also put forward higher requirements for China's sanitation trucks and special-purpose auto companies. Energy-saving and environmental protection models have become the first choice for users, and fuel-efficient performance has naturally become one of the issues that vehicle manufacturers have to consider. Although some car companies have already begun research and development work in related fields, due to the long-term neglect of the fuel consumption problem of heavy trucks in China, the fuel economy performance of products is mostly in the primary stage, and the space for reducing fuel consumption is still large.

In response to rising oil prices, auto manufacturers must have two senses of responsibility: The first is to use technology upgrades to develop more energy-saving and emission-reducing products to meet customers; the second is to seek more and more through technology upgrades. Alternative Energy. In the first half of 2008, Volvo Trucks released two world's first hybrid waste trucks in Sweden. For the first time, hybrid power technology was applied to the commercial use of heavy trucks. At present, the application of hybrid technology in China's trucks and special vehicles is still rare.

In addition, the rise in oil prices has encouraged the sanitation and environmental protection companies to increase the single-load capacity of vehicles as much as possible to reduce the number of sanitation. Under the “weight-based charging” environment, it is clear that the smaller the vehicle’s self-respect, the larger the vehicle’s carrying capacity and the lower the cost of the environmental sanitation enterprise. Experts in the industry pointed out that factors such as the increase in oil prices and the full implementation of State III standards will accelerate the development of special vehicles for environmental sanitation in the direction of high fuel economy and light weight.
