Core Viewpoint - In August, China's highway logistics price index remained stable, indicating a steady economic performance supported by policies aimed at stabilizing the economy and expanding domestic demand [1][2]. Summary by Category Overall Index Performance - The highway logistics price index for August was reported at 105.1 points, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 0.01% and a year-on-year increase of 0.8% [1]. Vehicle Type Index - The full truckload index, primarily driven by bulk commodities and regional transport, stood at 105.6 points, with a month-on-month increase of 0.01% and a year-on-year increase of 1% [1]. - The less-than-truckload (LTL) index showed mixed results: the LTL light cargo index was at 102.6 points, remaining stable month-on-month but down 0.3% year-on-year; the LTL heavy cargo index was at 105.6 points, stable month-on-month and up 1.1% year-on-year [1]. Regional Performance - The price index saw increases in regions such as Northeast, Central China, Shandong Peninsula, and the Yangtze River Delta, while declines were noted in the Southeast Coast, North China, Pearl River Delta, Northwest, and Southwest regions [1]. Market Dynamics - The logistics market is characterized by sufficient capacity, although there are structural and regional fluctuations. The ongoing replacement of new energy heavy trucks is contributing to short-term supply fluctuations in certain areas [1]. - Adverse weather conditions, including high temperatures and heavy rainfall in southern regions, have led to a reduction in transport capacity and mileage [1]. Future Outlook - As September approaches, it is anticipated that weather-related impacts will diminish, and a series of policies aimed at promoting growth and consumption will align with the traditional production peak season, leading to a more active highway transport market [2].
