The eye-catching yellow car that we often travel back and forth through the streets of the city is the moving car of Ant Logistics. On August 9, 2012, the company got involved in the purchase of 60 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISF engines . The China Truck Network reporter had the privilege of walking into Chengdu, where ANT Group is headquartered.
Mr. Li Tao, the special advisor of the ant enterprise group met for the first time, warmly welcomed us. The company’s people all kindly called him Li Shu, and he also has a more important identity. The founder of Ant Logistics, November 8, 1996, a car Six people, Chengdu Ant Transportation Co., Ltd. was established. This is also the predecessor of the current ant enterprise group. With 16 years of cultivation, the 16 provincial capital cities across the country spread ant logistics.
Cummins specialised propaganda for ant logistics
Talking with Li Shuxi, talking about the company, talking about vehicles, talking about management... Li Shu has always had a dream and wants to make ant logistics a first-class comprehensive logistics service security organization. From entrepreneurship to dream, past vehicles have been with ant logistics. Around him, Li Shu’s feelings about the vehicle are self-evident. The reporter also saw a hero’s car that accompanied the ant’s logistics for 16 years at the scene. Saving the company’s operating costs, especially the cost of the vehicle, became the most concerned issue for Li Shu. There are 10 car companies in front of the car to contact us and I have tried 6 different brands of cars myself.†Li Shu told reporters, as a business user, choose vehicles very cautious, the most cost-effective vehicle is given priority, before choosing a car from Brand, utility, quality, fuel consumption, comprehensive after-sales considerations, and finally through a comprehensive comparison, took a look at the Cummins ISF engine and opted for Omar.
Powerful for Chengdu Mountain Logistics
Chengdu is located between the western Sichuan plateau and the hills of central Sichuan Province. The roads fluctuate. There are many roads in the mountains and surrounding cities in Chengdu. There are many downhill and uphill slopes. As moving logistics, the engine power demand is high. Yu Jiang, director of ant logistics vehicle management safety, told China Truck Network Reporter, at the beginning, the company chose the ISF engine produced by Foton Cummins to take a look at the Cummins brand and its driving force. The driver also reflected that the Fukang machine was very active and it was easy to climb. The ISF engine has been maintained without any problems. The driver is also very satisfied. It is understood that the Cummins ISF engine is the lightest in its class, the smallest in size, the most powerful; the maximum power, higher than the same type of diesel engine 10% -35%; the broadest torque speed range, strong climbing ability, It is also the Fukang machine that satisfies the ants logistics vehicle selection criteria.

Fuel Consumption Affordable, High Acc
“The fuel consumption cost of vehicles has always been the pressure of our company. Therefore, it is very important for the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle. Now that the vehicle is running, we have to wait three months before our company establishes a tracking mechanism for fuel consumption. However, we have bought friends of Fukang Machine. Inquiries, generally reflect the fuel consumption is very ideal.†Li Shuru mentioned. “A vehicle in five years in the province was originally attracted by this, and the cost of fuel consumption occupies a large proportion. Cummins has a low fuel consumption, high attendance, and a very pragmatic attitude. In the long run, it can significantly reduce the company’s vehicle operating costs.†In addition, Li Shu told reporters that the quality of domestic oil products was uneven. Although the company required drivers to go to regular gas stations, they could not avoid diesel oil with poor oil quality. According to drivers, Cummins ISF engine has high adaptability to oil products. Does not affect performance, but also in the maximum degree of domestic oil quality, which is more than other brands of engines. According to reports, the ISF engine uses Cummins combustion optimization technology, electronic control technology and Bosch high-pressure common rail fuel system, the best fuel efficiency, comprehensive fuel consumption is greatly reduced than similar products, after upgrading the national IV product fuel economy and then increase 5-7%, Vehicles can save a lot of economic costs on fuel consumption.
China IV is easy to upgrade and reduce operating costs
In conversation with Li Shu, he repeatedly asked the staff of Futian Cummins who was accompanying him whether the current State III product could be upgraded to the State IV. After receiving a positive answer again, Li Shu seemed relieved. “Last time we went Futian Cummins Engine Factory found that the plant equipment is very advanced and each process is controlled very strictly. This also gives us more confidence in the Cummins ISF engine. The staff told us that the State III upgrade country IV is very convenient and can be changed simply. The upgrade was very attractive to me at that time. Like our moving company entering the urban area, the environmental protection requirements were very strict. Moreover, Chengdu has always been at the forefront in terms of emission standards. We will implement State IV next year. Vehicles cannot buy for one year. It will be replaced, and now the Cummins ISF engine can meet the national III emission, and can easily upgrade to the national IV, without increasing the cost. This account can save us a lot of procurement costs for the fleet."
Ants logistics vehicle
Vehicles are better than small services
It is understood that ant logistics accounts for 80% of the Sichuan moving industry's market share, occupying 58% of the market share of Sichuan's logistics industry, and vehicles all over Sichuan provinces and cities. Therefore, when selecting vehicles, the service network capacity is also an important factor in the investigation of ant logistics. Li Shu told reporters Although the company has its own repair shop, when it was time to select a vehicle, the support of the service station was still very large. It was fully stocked on the accessories. Pang Yong, general manager of Chengdu Hetian Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. also mentioned that ant logistics chose Omagh. Before that, it has inspected the peripheral service outlets in Chengdu in detail and urged various service outlets to strengthen the supply of spare parts to meet the needs of users and ensure the maximum degree of after-sales service.
Ant logistics in difficult conditions
After ant logistics and Ouma vehicles equipped with Cummins ISF engines became affiliated, ant logistics agreed with the vehicle, reminiscent of the dilemma of moving logistics in the moment, and Li Shu was also worried about new memories. He told reporters that the current moving market is not optimistic. Many restrictive factors have hindered the development of the industry, among which the pressure on personnel, restrictions on policies, and fuel consumption have become prominent.
“Now many porters are very unpleasant. The porters are labor-intensive, and few young and strong young men are willing to come under this sin. Older physical strength and energy are far behind. Every year, recruiting people becomes ours. "The big problem," Li Shu, who has always been a laughing stock, can not help but frown when he talks about this topic.
Ant Logistics Ouma Vehicle
This reporter learned that during the ant logistics, he explored ways to retain employees in many ways, including more than 10 million social insurances per year, which gave employees a sense of belonging through benefits and social security payments; they gave the vehicles to employees and encouraged them to do live activities. , More money is owned by the employees. At the same time, in the vehicle selection, more comfortable driving environment is selected. Ant Logistics has also newly built a staff building, moved from the previous flat to the building dormitory to create a living guarantee. More conditions to meet the needs of employees; cooperation with the government to provide work-study jobs during the summer and winter vacations, ease the scarcity of porters while also providing impaired students with educational opportunities. "We hope that through this series of trials, more people will be able to contribute to our ant logistics, just like ants. Although the work is small, ants must have the courage to do things that others cannot do. Do it well, do it well, do it well."
Now most of the Omar vehicles equipped with Cummins ISF engines have been busy relocating to the villages near the Xiangjiaba hydropower station on the Jinsha River. Li Shu is full of confidence in the 60 vehicles. Li Shu finally told reporters that if it is not the current industry, Limits, such as entering the city to prove that the size of the company's business will be expanded, but the good news is that ants logistics in the past year or two will also set up additional branches in some provinces and cities, like Ant's tentacles stretched to all corners. The reporter also noticed that the office of the ant logistics manager occupied only a small room in the entire office building. His riding was also extremely low-key. Such a pragmatic style was just like the spirit of an ant. It was also like the Cummins ISF engine. It was pragmatic. Ant logistics will also go further and bigger goals.
