What type of vehicle is Huolala's intra-city small package service?
2 Answers
Huolala's intra-city small package service utilizes mini vans. Below is an expanded introduction: 1. Vehicle requirements: Huolala mandates that vehicles must be less than 10 years old. Specific vehicle types accepted include mini vans, medium-sized vans, small trucks, medium-sized trucks, and large trucks. 2. Driver requirements: Drivers must possess all five required certificates (driver's license, vehicle registration, ID card, road transport permit, and professional driver's qualification certificate). However, as the Chinese government has abolished the road transport permit and professional driver's qualification certificate requirements for ordinary trucks with a gross weight of 4.5 tons or less, eligible users are exempt from these documents. Vehicles outside this weight range still need to obtain the corresponding certificates.
When I first started with Lalamove, I was also doing local small parcel deliveries and noticed the platform mainly assigned compact vans like the Wuling Hongguang or Changan Star. These vehicles aren't large, measuring about 4 meters in length, making them nimble in city traffic with easy maneuverability. Their cargo space offers a solid 2-3 cubic meters, which is more than enough for small furniture or appliance parts. Fuel efficiency is key—delivering small parcels costs just over ten yuan in gas per trip, far less than larger trucks. The platform has strict rules, requiring vehicles to be safe and reliable, with drivers needing regular brake and tire checks to prevent accidents. These vans are ideal for beginners, being easy to handle and maintain. I customized a storage rack myself but had to report it for approval first to avoid complaints like last time. Overall, compact vans are the backbone—economical, practical, and highly efficient.
