In january-march this year, the city-wide network increased the number of vehicles by more than 2,000, while the capacity of drivers was declining and increasing in intensity, with nearly 80 per cent of the vehicles receiving less than 10 units a day. In recent days, the monitoring of information on the performance indicators of the rental car market in the first quarter of 2023 in dongjing city has been carried out. The transport department warned that the city-wide capacity was close to saturation and that the drivers needed to be cautious。

According to the first quarter data analysis, four features of the city-wide networked car market were presented。
First, there has been a steady increase in the number of employed vehicles and personnel. The number of internet vehicles currently issued with transport permits is 42,558, an increase of 2475 compared to the end of 2022, which is almost close to the daily average number of individual vehicles (40,749), while the number of persons eligible for internet service in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 2,974 compared with the end of 2022。
Second, the number of bicycles dropped daily. As a result of the increase in the number of vehicles, while the average number of daily car orders on the city-wide internet increased from the end of 2022, the average daily number of bicycles on the internet was only 9. 07 per day, a decrease of 19. 45 per cent compared to the end of 2022, and the average daily income on the bicycles was only 260. 83 per day, a decrease of 3. 2 per cent compared with the end of 2022。
Third, the intensity of the work has increased. The average daily mileage of internet-based lorries increased by 3. 23 per cent, to 125. 24 kilometres, and the average online hours increased by 1. 45 per cent, to 8. 39 hours. This also means that drivers travel further and wait longer, but the billing volume falls。
Fourth, nearly 80 per cent of the vehicles are < 10 units a day. The proportion of vehicles receiving less than 10 daily bills in the first quarter has increased every month, and the proportion of vehicles receiving less than 10 per day is currently as high as 77. 33 per cent。
A nice reminder
It is noteworthy that, in recent times, a number of internet drivers who had previously entered the industry have opted out of the internet industry voluntarily because their revenues were not as expected. In the first quarter, a total of 1665 internet vehicles, of which 454 were personal vehicles, were withdrawn from operation in the city。
“the traffic capacity of dong qiao city is now close to saturated, and the internet car industry may not earn as much as many people expect, and it is likely that the revenue situation will not be as good as the internet platform depicts, so do not enter blindly.” the east qiao transport department warns。
In addition, drivers who want to enter need to look at the trap. In recent times, it has been described that the traffic authorities have investigated irregularities in the process of leasing vehicles or registering platforms, such as the promotion of monthly traffic, the rental of off-site vehicles, the use of the field licence plate p as “silver” and the requirement of “co-operation” to achieve high water flows. A number of drivers, after a period of time after signing a contract or agreement, felt that their revenues were not in line with expectations or problems were identified, and requested a refund of the deposit, which resulted in a loss as a result of the deduction of the deposit as a result of the contract。
The municipal transport authority has published the city-wide car rental market operation and risk alerts at various points, such as the network of officials, the internet platform for the application of cars, the business qualification window, and the rental of cars by enterprises and the registration of individuals. Once again, the public is reminded that industry capacity and demand are now close to saturated and that before entering the industry, please provide detailed information about the industry, make comparisons and enquiries, carefully analyse investments and practices, and rationally choose the direction of the profession and avoid losses due to ignorance of the industry。
Next, the transport sector will further optimize the internet-based vehicle certification process, consolidate corporate responsibility for the internet-based vehicle platform, urge companies to enhance pre-service and continuing education training for drivers, strengthen regulation of car rental by internet-based car companies, and promote industry associations to improve industry conventions and strengthen industry discipline and self-regulation。
