How many people are needed for a good fleet? How much financial resources?

With the increasing popularity of private cars and the improvement of economic capabilities, self-driving travel, as a flexible, mobile and leisure way of travel, is increasingly favored by more and more friends. It is also a choice for many people to get together with three or five friends or a few good families for a long-distance self-driving trip during the holidays. In addition, there are many travelers who have been longing for Yunnan, Tibet, and Xinjiang for a long time. They will meet up with friends and embark on a road trip as a more advanced road trip. So what are the pros and cons of team driving? What are the issues to consider?

What are the benefits of traveling in a group? Traveling in a group car does have many advantages over traveling alone. Lively, helps enhance feelings. Especially with family outings with children, children will not easily feel lonely and tired, and will enjoy themselves more. Even traveling in a group with friends or colleagues can help deepen mutual understanding and trust. Is the bigger the self-driving fleet, the better? of course not! This amount is most suitable to help each other. In the process of self-driving travel, you will inevitably encounter some problems, such as vehicle failure, the need to disassemble and replace tires, repair tires, and inflate them, the battery is dead and need to be ignited with electricity, the vehicle is trapped and requires rescue, and the need to take care of sick people, etc. wait. These are all encountered during self-driving tours in the past. Not only did I help others, I also received help from fellow riders, which was a deep feeling. Sometimes the dilemmas of car travel really require the support of a companion.

It can improve the efficiency of self-driving travel. When traveling long distances, or for long periods of time by car to unfamiliar or even remote places, it is easy to encounter various problems due to lack of understanding of road conditions, folk customs, climate, and geological conditions. In the multi-vehicle team formation mode, teammates often conduct research and risk judgment on various strategies and plans, gathering the strength of the group to make more efficient decisions more easily. Helps reduce travel costs. For example, you can have a reunion dinner. The more people who eat, the lower the cost per person. Just like when we drove to Tibet with friends before, we basically shared every meal. The cost for a family of three was only about 450. The food was quite rich and more cost-effective than when we went alone as a family. too much. The organizing committee of the "Second Search for Vehicle Limits" learned that the Wuhan Zhongyuan Development Automobile Logistics Company's fleet uses the Foton Cummins vehicle networking intelligent management system, and only 6 people are needed for orderly fleet management. In particular, the Foton Cummins X12 engine has "high IQ" functions that can dynamically adapt to various working conditions, such as intelligent torque adjustment, intelligent taxi control, and forward-looking cruise control, and has become a "sharp tool" to help logistics companies manage their fleets efficiently.

Only 6 people are needed to manage a fleet of 300 heavy trucks? The fleet management system on this engine is really great. At the "Second Vehicle Search and Restriction" press conference, after an on-site inspection by the organizing committee's investigation team and the review by the organizing committee's expert group, the Foton Cummins X12 engine was rated "The King of Smart Engines in 2018". The fleet management system contributes a lot to saving 2L of fuel per 100 kilometers. Wuhan Zhongyuan Development Automobile Logistics Co., Ltd. is an enterprise engaged in special vehicle and motor vehicle logistics, covering the whole country. Currently, it has more than 300 transport vehicles, of which more than 100 are Auman brand vehicles, accounting for more than one-third of all vehicles. "Our vehicles were purchased in 2015 and have a longest mileage of about 900,000 kilometers," said Mei Zhibin, director of the vehicle management department of Wuhan Zhongyuan Development Automobile Logistics Co., Ltd., whose fleet has previously used vehicles of other brands. After many comparisons in 2015, the company chose the Foton Auman model, mainly because Cummins engines are equipped with a vehicle network fleet management system.

“We found that the vehicle network fleet management system provides great convenience and help to logistics companies.” Mei Zhibin said that special logistics for automobile transportation is different from general cargo flow. For example, Lapp cargo considers the horsepower or power of the engine, but we need to suit ourselves. Because we do not overload or pull heavy loads, we need to choose good power matching and good fuel economy, including reducing maintenance costs.
