Research on the ceiling price strategy of the EMU trains based on bilateral monopoly model
Reasonably determining the ceiling price for the procurement of rolling stock trains and their advanced repair services is an important way for railroad enterprises to reduce procurement costs and improve procurement efficiency,and it is also an important measure to promote the deepening of cooperation between the supply and demand of rolling stock in the development and maintenance of rolling stock.Based on the technical and economic attributes of EMU trains such as large scale and stable demand of procurement,difficult to measure manufacturing cost,high life cycle maintenance cost and small number of suppliers,this article establishes a model of procurement price for EMU trains under bilateral monopoly market structure,and analyzes the price determination mechanism of whole unit of EMU trains and advanced repair service.The results of the study show that there is no Nash equilibrium in the procurement price of whole unit of EMU trains and advanced repair services,and that it is in the long-term interests of both parties for CRRC and the State Railway Group to carry out strategic cooperation in various fields such as the research,development and maintenance of EMU.
