Abstract
China’s cross-border e-commerce companies are facing the problem of high logistics cost caused by excessive reliance on road transportation in domestic logistics link. In the long-term development, crossborder e-commerce companies in the United States have adopted the intermodal transportation logistics mode, which can reduced the domestic logistics costs. In order to study the impact of intermodal-transportation logistics mode on the scale of cross-border e-commerce companies, this paper selects the relevant data of Hub Group, the first intermodal marketing company in North America, makes multiple regression analysis, and draws the following conclusion: the intermodal-transportation logistics mode of highway and railway collaborative transportation is conducive to the expansion of cross-border e-commerce business scale.
Highlights
Since 2013, China's cross-border e-commerce has achieved rapid development
The reason why the domestic logistics cost is very high is that the logistics link in China still mainly relies on road transportation, while the labor cost, fuel cost and other indirect cost caused by accidents and pollution of road transportation is relatively high, which eventually leads to the logistics cost problem of China's cross-border e-commerce
In the domestic logistics link of the United States, the third party logistics company and the railway company cooperate to deliver the long-distance transportation part of the goods to the railway company, while the short-distance part is still carried by the truck company
Summary
Since 2013, China's cross-border e-commerce has achieved rapid development. While the business scale of China's cross-border e-commerce continues to expand, it faces the problems brought by logistics problems. The reason is that China's cross-border e-commerce starts late, lacks professional third-party logistics to provide services for it, and has not formed a mature cross-border e-commerce logistics mode. In the domestic logistics link of the United States, the third party logistics company and the railway company cooperate to deliver the long-distance transportation part of the goods to the railway company, while the short-distance part is still carried by the truck company. Through intermodal transportation, it provides professional logistics services for many cross-border ecommerce companies. Studying whether the logistics mode will significantly affect the increase of cross-border ecommerce business scale can help to solve the logistics problems of China's cross-border e-commerce
