In the expert comment session, Gan Yutao, executive director of Beijing Think Financial Development Research Institute, made a speech on behalf of the institute. Gan Yutao said that the launch of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Zero Emission Freight Demonstration Project marks a fundamental change in the empowerment model of the digital freight ecosystem, and the application of innovative financial products and financial technology will accompany the overall transformation and upgrading of the freight industry.


First, the collection, governance and establishment of models for freight ecological data should be prioritized in combination with financial business. Make a solid data base, and based on the data foundation, the industry will form a unique barrier to data advantages, and the underlying foundation based on data will play a huge role in promoting the development of the project;


 

The second is to give full play to the incentive role of financial instruments and strengthen the innovation ability of customized financial products. The insurance sector is naturally integrated with zero-emission freight projects. Traditional commercial vehicle premiums tend to be relatively high, and in the future, a new model of combining insurance products with vehicle networking data can be used as an extension of projects 2.0 to 3.0. In cooperation with banks, based on the integration of information flow, traffic flow, capital flow and other multi-streams, we can jointly create innovative supply chain financial products, as well as financial products such as customized matching financial leasing for new energy trucks such as hydrogen energy heavy trucks, which will play a significant role in helping and encouraging the freight logistics industry and related ecosystem entities.


Gan Yutao also said that in the development process of the project, we should pay attention to the combination with ESG and carbon assets. It is necessary to strengthen public opinion publicity, gain wider attention, and amplify the demonstration effect of the project. At the same time, it will precipitate the results, provide suggestions and suggestions for the government, and help the government to introduce various subsidy policies in a targeted manner.
