Analysis on Efficiency of Chinese Highway Freight Transportation Network
As an important national fundamental and strategic industry,highway freight transportation plays an important role in social and economic development.In recent years,although the highway freight transportation market in China has seen continuous growth in overall demand,issues including high business volume fluctuation,low market concentration,fierce competition and slim profit margin are still prevalent with Chinese freight transportation enterprises,all contributing to the low efficiency and high cost of the Chinese highway freight transportation industry.In this paper,we measured the efficiency of China's high-way freight transportation network and looked at the factors influencing it.By selecting data from various provinces and regions in China from 2012 to 2022,and based on the super-efficiency DEA model and To-bit regression model,it was shown that significant difference in freight transportation efficiency existed across the regions in China,where,more specifically,the eastern region has the highest efficiency and the western region has the lowest.The study also found that the main factors positively affecting China's highway freight transportation efficiency included economic development speed,industrial structure,cargo turnover per unit of secondary industry added value,freight volume per unit of highway mileage,and freight volume per unit of truck,while policy and regulatory orientation would have negative impact on highway freight transporta-tion super efficiency when pressing the enterprises to increase investment.Based on the research results,we put forward the following recommendations and suggestions:accelerating the coordinated development of the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry so as to enhance the core competitiveness of the manu-facturing industry and promote the logistics industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency;further optimiz-ing the management level of highway freight transportation so as to help the transportation enterprises move upstream in the value chain and undertake more high-value-added services;and further instituting and im-plementing environment protection regulations for the highway freight transportation industry,advocating the practice of green transportation,and perfecting the relevant legal,regulatory,standard and planning sys-tems,so as to provide strong institutional guarantee for the scientific,law-based and standardized completion of the energy conservation and emission reduction tasks in the transportation sector.
