After the onset of winter, Beijing faced a more serious and complex situation of prevention and control of the epidemic. For this mega city with more than 20 million permanent residents, stabilizing the people's "vegetable basket" is like a major defense war. Trucks are important means of transportation in the long "lifeline" of goods and materials from the fields to the public dining table. It runs on the expressway to transport vegetables and fruits with dew and soil into Beijing. It runs in the streets and alleys to get through the "last mile" of distribution to households.






At 4 p.m., a Fukuda Zhilan light truck fresh delivery truck arrived at Jingjie Fresh Jinsong District 8 Store on time. The driver, Master Liu, jumped out of the car, opened the side door of the cargo box, and assisted the staff in carrying baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables from the car to the trolley, and then transported them into the store. An hour later, these fruits and vegetables will be put on the supermarket shelves, and the residents nearby will have more choices for dinner.


"Not only is the load of fruits and vegetables twice as much as usual, but also the delivery shift has increased by one." Master Liu said that he delivers goods from Jingkelong's distribution center outside the Fifth Ring Road to several stores in Jinsong every day. Since the end of October, the proportion of vegetables and fruits in the goods has doubled from once a day to two trains now.





Since October, the number of new cases of COVID-19 in Beijing has continued to grow at a high level. For a while, some supermarkets had been snapped up and stocked up by the public, and material distribution was stressed. Relevant government departments have taken rapid and effective emergency safeguard measures while strengthening social prevention and control and guiding key epidemic street towns to further reduce social mobility.


Taking the company where Master Liu works as an example, he is responsible for distributing nearly 70 outlets every day, more than 1000 tons of guaranteed supplies such as vegetables, meat, eggs, cereals and oils. Nearly 500 guarantee vehicles shuttle around the streets and alleys of Beijing and the stocking areas of major supermarkets 24 hours a day, increasing the number of distribution times and improving the delivery efficiency. Among these guarantee vehicles, nearly 70% are all kinds of light trucks of Foton, of which 200 Foton Zhilan new energy light trucks are the main distribution vehicles.


"Under the actual working condition, the endurance mileage can reach 260 to 300 kilometers, and it can be charged every night, which is enough for the next day." Sun Fang, the general manager of the company, said that the 1-hour fast charge of Zhilan light truck can directly fill up the power from 20%, which can fully meet the current urban short and medium distance transportation needs for timeliness. In addition, the intelligent Internet of Vehicles system carried by the vehicle can monitor driving data and remind them of the regular maintenance items and time of the vehicle in combination with the vehicle maintenance cycle, which further improves the management efficiency of the fleet.




Under the epidemic situation, it is not only Fukuda Zhilan who participates in the transportation of people's livelihood. As a local enterprise in Beijing, Foton Automobile actively mobilized Oman, Ouhang Omako and Aoling users to ensure smooth transportation of agricultural products into Beijing, fully guaranteed vehicle services, escorted a large number of vegetables into Beijing overnight, and made every effort to ensure adequate supply of "food basket", "rice bag" and "fruit plate" in Beijing.




According to the big data statistics of the Foton Intelligent Technology Internet of Vehicles platform, since October, more than 20000 Foton vehicles have been operating in Beijing every day, including more than 60% of the Lvtong vehicles, to ensure the life supply of Beijing citizens. These vehicles are also new energy vehicles with zero emissions, which contribute to the protection of "Beijing Blue" while providing the most efficient transport capacity solutions.
