at the end of august, the ministry of transport announced the number of online ride-hailing orders in july: 1.01 billion. this is the first time that the monthly number of online ride-hailing orders has exceeded 1 billion. cui dayong, party secretary and ceo of t3 travel, said in an interview that in addition to the upward trend of the industry, jiangsu province and nanjing city have recently introduced a series of favorable measures. as a unicorn company in nanjing, t3 travel has nanjing's advantages in talent, taxation, business environment, etc., and should seize the opportunity, keep up with the pace, and speed up development.

the industry is on the rise, and nanjing's "base camp" has continued to receive favorable policies

since march this year, the online ride-hailing industry has shown a sustained upward trend, with order volumes increasing month by month and each month exceeding the data for the same period of the past three years.

nanjing, jiangsu, where t3 travel is headquartered, has introduced a number of policies to build a modern transportation powerhouse: on september 5, the jiangsu provincial government information office held a special press conference on "accelerating the construction of a transportation powerhouse and being a pioneer in chinese-style modernization." xinhua daily reported that in recent years, jiangsu transportation has actively integrated into the overall development of the province's digital economy and focused on promoting smart transportation construction.

on the same day, the 9th plenary session of the 15th nanjing municipal committee was held. the meeting emphasized that the focus should be on reforms in five key areas, including building a city with a greater sense of belonging and happiness for the people and forming a new system of smart and efficient governance for megacities.

cui dayong said that as a unicorn company based in nanjing, actively responding to the call of provincial and municipal policies and keeping up with the pace of nanjing is both an opportunity and a responsibility for the company. t3 travel will accelerate its development, strengthen the research and development and application of big data, cloud computing, and large models in the smart travel ecosystem, actively participate in the construction of a strong transportation province, strive to be at the forefront of safety and compliance, and set an example in smart travel, so as to contribute to the construction of a more sense of belonging, a happy city for the people, and a new system of smart and efficient governance of megacities.

nanjing's industrial environment also provides strong support for the development of t3 travel. in december 2021, nanjing was successfully selected as the second batch of "double intelligence" (smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles) pilot cities in the country, and laid out a plan for the intelligent transformation and upgrading of infrastructure in one main and three secondary areas (jiangning development zone, jiangxinzhou ecological and technological island, qinhuai baixia high-tech zone, and lishui economic development zone). from the perspective of industrial ecology, new energy vehicles and intelligent connected technologies are "deeply bound". in addition, as a famous software city, nanjing has gathered a large number of resources, especially abundant software talents and educational resources.

"from policy support to industrial environment, nanjing has very good conditions. the rapid development of t3 travel in recent years is also inseparable from such an environment," cui dayong emphasized.

big models drive smart travel layout and build future competitiveness

last november, t3 travel cooperated with china telecom to build the leading qianmo big model (hereinafter referred to as "qianmo"). this is the first ecological big model in the domestic travel industry, which allows t3 travel to significantly improve its intelligence level in driver and passenger services, intelligent scheduling, travel security, etc. some people believe that the release of this model can be regarded as opening up a higher-dimensional development strategy - from solving how to call a car to how to improve the traffic operation efficiency of a city. in august this year, the qianmo big model successfully passed the algorithm filing of the state internet information office, and the technical level of smart travel has taken another step forward.

cui dayong has high hopes for the qianmo model, not only because of its own capabilities and leadership, but also because it matches the development rhythm of related industries in nanjing. in july this year, nanjing was officially approved as a national pilot city for the application of "vehicle-road-cloud integration" for intelligent connected vehicles. focusing on the construction of the pilot city, nanjing actively plans the overall goal and a series of policy measures for the high-quality development of the intelligent connected vehicle industry. according to media reports, t3 travel has obtained a robotaxi test license and will promote related work in the near future.

since its establishment, t3 travel has always been committed to becoming a national core smart travel operation platform. in 2020, t3 travel took the lead in establishing the "aotou alliance". this is china's first autonomous driving ecological operation alliance, with more than 30 members including vehicle manufacturers, technology companies and other related institutions. last year, t3 travel joined hands with huawei cloud to deepen cooperation in big data, cloud computing, driver and passenger safety assurance systems, etc.

on august 28, the "smarthk jiangsu-hong kong high-quality development cooperation conference" hosted by the hong kong trade development council (hktdc) and co-organized by the jiangsu provincial department of commerce and the jiangsu provincial hong kong and macao affairs office was held in nanjing. cui dayong was invited to attend. he pointed out that t3 travel should, on the one hand, lay out a solid future and focus on growing into a national core smart travel platform, and on the other hand, it should broaden its horizons and absorb resources, strive to link up with hong kong's high-quality resources in the future, and promote the development of enterprises to a new stage. only in this way can we make more contributions to smart transportation and urban development.

compliance rate leads the scale platform with multiple security dimensions and high levels

since its establishment 5 years ago, t3 travel has actively responded to policy guidance and explored a win-win path for corporate development, industry development, urban development, and social development. t3 travel was born from a project led by the state-owned assets supervision and administration commission, the ministry of industry and information technology, and the ministry of science and technology. its shareholders include faw, dongfeng, and changan. in cui dayong's view, t3 travel's state-owned background is both an inherent advantage and a corporate responsibility. this responsibility runs through the development process, especially on safety and compliance issues.

in the past five years, t3 travel has maintained a leading compliance rate among travel platforms of a certain scale. the same is true for security issues. t3 travel has established a data security management committee headed by the ceo to organize and build systems in terms of network security, data security, and personal information protection. at the same time, the platform conducts all-round supervision of data assets and implements effective security management and control over the entire life cycle of data collection, transmission, storage, use, and destruction. public information shows that t3 travel has established a security management system covering the entire life cycle of data, becoming one of the first travel platforms to obtain dual certification of iso 27001 information security management system and iso 27701 privacy information management system.

it is reported that all t3 travel's own vehicles are equipped with the platform's exclusive safety system independently developed - the vdr protection system. the entire vehicle is equipped with a one-button alarm system. in the event of an emergency, the vdr system can further intervene in the vehicle, including flashing lights, honking, restricting restarts and other measures to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.

cui dayong emphasized that paying attention to operational safety means being responsible to passengers and drivers first, while paying attention to data security means being responsible to users and the country. safety work is a guarantee for the development of enterprises, not a constraint.

multiple measures to serve the society and enhance users' sense of belonging to the city

cui dayong mentioned "responsibility" and "contribution" many times during the interview. serving the society in the process of development and taking the initiative to assume social responsibility are indeed a major label of t3 travel.

on december 21, 2023, the ministry of veterans affairs held a signing ceremony in beijing for the fourth batch of veterans' employment cooperation enterprises. t3 travel and many other companies have opened more than 264,000 high-quality positions for veterans and provided special promotion channels for career development. at present, 9.2% of t3 travel's online car-hailing drivers are veterans, and the five-star order praise rate accounts for more than 98% of all veterans' orders. veterans have also appeared many times in public welfare activities organized by the platform, such as the love test-taking convoy, the anti-epidemic convoy, the aed convoy, and the "baby go home" convoy to find missing children.

the "sifu plan" is t3 travel's exclusive driver care plan, which aims to commend outstanding drivers, continuously improve the driver rights protection mechanism, and listen to drivers' voices and suggestions face to face. among them, the "sifu star" is especially recognized by platform drivers. the plan has lasted for three years and has helped a total of 135 outstanding children of drivers realize their university dreams. among the admitted institutions are peking university, zhejiang university, huazhong university of science and technology and other higher education institutions. cui dayong introduced that in 2024 alone, 50 outstanding children of drivers were selected and awarded scholarships.

at the end of the interview, cui dayong said that the travel industry will continue to develop, and technological changes will inevitably lead to the reshaping of the industry structure. the path of coordinated development of enterprises, industries, cities, and society that t3 travel has been exploring is definitely the most valuable direction. the development of t3 travel is inseparable from nanjing's good business environment, and it will definitely contribute to the city's development.
