The company has a smart maintenance platform it created. It offers customized vehicle oil solutions and has strong testing skills. With its data modeling expertise, the company provides complete lubrication solutions and effective operational support.
Rongcheng Group, committed to its vision of “Building a Century-Old Green Rongcheng,” operates five major industrial sectors. It has many freight resources, a large fleet of commercial vehicles, and a lot of transportation data. It also has strong promotion skills in the bulk commodities sector.
Rongcheng Group has experience in running smart transport platforms. This, along with Rongbao Pay’s payment benefits, creates a strong model for operations and payments. It helps in targeting users accurately and delivering services efficiently.
Both parties will invest together to create a joint venture. This venture will focus on four key initiatives for the digital transformation of the commercial vehicle aftermarket.
- Building an integrated “transportation + maintenance” platform
- The platform will use Zhongtian’s smart maintenance technology. Users will also use Rongcheng’s smart transport data to make repair requests with just one click. Nearby dispatching and full-process visibility will also enable users. This will help solve maintenance challenges across provinces.
- Promoting service standardization
- The two companies will develop unified maintenance standards and pricing systems. Through maintenance video recording and parts traceability, the partnership aims to eliminate irregular charging practices.
- Creating a full life-cycle vehicle management system
- By combining data from different sources, the system will offer preventive maintenance and predict faults. The exploration of new maintenance-as-a-service (MaaS) models will also take place.
- Deepening ecosystem collaboration
- The smart transport and smart maintenance platforms will support each other. This will strengthen their main advantages and create a complete industry ecosystem.
This partnership is between Zhongtian Petrochemical and Rongcheng Group. A strategic effort helps change the industry, support public welfare, and improve government governance.
Both sides want to create economic and social value through platform development. Principles of mutual benefit, complementary strengths, cooperation based on rules, and long-term collaboration guide them. This includes improving business performance and increasing local tax revenue.
It also provides accurate transportation and maintenance data for government decisions. We aim to reduce vehicle safety risks through smart operations. Additionally, we support the “dual-carbon” goal by optimizing routes, extending vehicle lifespan, and lowering energy use.
Next, the two sides will form a joint project team. This team will speed up the registration and launch of the joint venture. They aim to turn the cooperation plan into real results.
