[0002] As one of the five major modes of transportation, road freight accounts for more than half of the total commercial freight volume completed throughout the year, making it the most important mode of freight transportation. Traditional road freight mainly relies on fuel trucks. These vehicles face problems such as high fuel consumption, high emissions, and low efficiency in long-distance transportation, resulting in high operating costs. In addition, traditional fuel trucks have serious emissions problems and do not meet environmental protection requirements. The traditional road freight process mainly includes cargo loading, transportation, and unloading. Logistics companies usually arrange vehicle dispatch and transportation routes on their own. Due to the lack of an effective dispatching system, the matching efficiency of goods and vehicles is low, and empty driving often occurs. In the process of traditional road freight, logistics parks need to provide a large number of vehicles, resulting in idle and wasted resources. The cargo loading and unloading standards between different logistics parks are inconsistent, affecting the loading and unloading efficiency. In summary, traditional road freight has problems such as high cost, low efficiency, and environmental pollution.

[0138] In summary, the highway freight system and method based on electric trucks and network freight platforms provided in the embodiments of the present invention have the following technical advantages:

[0139] 1. Significantly reduce logistics park operating costs

[0140] 1. The use of electric trucks significantly reduces fuel costs. Electric trucks have lower energy consumption costs than traditional fuel vehicles because electricity is usually cheaper than diesel or gasoline. And the maintenance cost of electric trucks is also lower because the mechanical structure of electric trucks is simpler and fewer parts need to be maintained and replaced.

[0141] 2. The battery swap service reduces the waiting time for charging and improves the efficiency of vehicle use. The battery swap service allows drivers to complete battery replacement in a few minutes, greatly shortening the time the vehicle is out of service due to charging. In this mode, the vehicle can be put back into use in a short time, improving the average daily transportation capacity of a single vehicle.

[0142] 3. Standardized exchange boxes and intelligent dispatching systems reduce the empty mileage rate and further reduce transportation costs. Standardized exchange boxes are easy to manage and deploy, and can achieve efficient loading and unloading of goods, reducing unnecessary waiting time. The intelligent dispatching system can monitor vehicle location and cargo demand in real time, optimize routes to reduce empty mileage, thereby reducing costs.

[0143] (II) Freight transportation efficiency has been greatly improved

[0144] 1. Standardized exchange boxes enable fast loading and unloading, and improve loading and unloading efficiency. Using exchange boxes of uniform size and specifications can simplify the operation process and speed up loading and unloading. Fast loading and unloading not only saves time, but also reduces congestion in warehouses and ports.

[0145] 2. The online freight platform can achieve the optimal freight matching solution, reduce the driving distance and improve the transportation efficiency. The intelligent dispatching system can dynamically adjust the route and select the best trunk transportation route. This can not only reduce the transportation time, but also reduce fuel consumption and other operating costs.

[0146] 3. Reducing carbon emissions helps protect the environment

[0147] The use of electric trucks reduces carbon emissions and helps protect the environment. Electric trucks produce almost no tailpipe emissions during operation, which helps improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the proportion of renewable energy generation increases, the environmental benefits of electric vehicles will be further enhanced.

[0148] (IV) Improve resource utilization and reduce idle waste

[0149] Leasing services reduce idle waste of logistics resources. Logistics parks can obtain electric trucks and battery replacement facilities through leasing, so that they can flexibly adjust resource allocation according to actual business needs. The leasing model can also avoid high initial investment, allowing the park to use funds for other more important business development.

[0150] (V) Improving the safety of cargo transportation

[0151] Standardized exchange boxes help ensure the safety and integrity of cargo. The design of standardized exchange boxes reduces damage and loss during loading and unloading, and improves the safety of cargo.

[0152] Real-time monitoring ensures the safe transportation of goods. Through the online freight platform, abnormal situations in the transportation process can be discovered and handled in time to ensure the safe transportation of goods.
