6.18 revved up China’s consumption demand, and the country’s busy freight-trucking operations duly reflected consumers’ appetite for deals and new products. According to a recent report jointly published by China Automotive News and Zhonghuan Satellite, the nation’s trucking utilization reached more than 75% of its total capacity during 6.18, a record high since the pandemic outbreak.
According to the report, close to two dozen manufacturing belts with supplier relationships with Tmall became especially popular docking areas for trucks before the 6.18 pre-sales period. These included Guangzhou and Shunde in Guangdong province, Yiwu and Wenzhou in Zhejiang province, Quanzhou in Fujian province and others. From June 1 to 15, over 1 million small and medium-sized businesses in manufacturing belts across the country generated more than double the number of sales compared to last year’s event.
