演講標(biāo)題：The next wave of innovation in freight / 貨運(yùn)行業(yè)的下一波創(chuàng)新

內(nèi)容概要：Throughout the US, millions of freight trucks are buzzing goods across state lines, producing massive amounts of greenhouse emissions -- and some of them are only half full. Working to make this 400-billion-dollar-a-year supply chain process as efficient and sustainable as possible, freight expert Oren Zaslansky digs into the logistics of filling these trucks to their maximum capacity through algorithmic carpooling (think: ride-sharing your freight) -- bringing with it the potential of a more transparent and eco-friendly global supply chain.

成千上萬的貨運(yùn)卡車穿梭于美國大陸，跨越州與州，但也在大量制造碳排放，而有些卡車只是半載。貨運(yùn)專家奧倫·扎斯蘭斯基（Oren Zaslansky）試圖提高這價值 4000 億美元的供應(yīng)鏈生意的效率，讓它更加可持續(xù)。他解釋了如何使用算法、通過順風(fēng)車的形式，填滿卡車，讓它們盡可能滿載，也為我們建立一個更透明、環(huán)保的全球供應(yīng)鏈提供新的可能。

*******************************************

【1】The supply chain, freight, transportation, logistics, it's a trillion dollars a year.

供應(yīng)鏈、貨運(yùn)、運(yùn)輸、物流, 這是個涉及萬億的大生意。

【2】This is hundreds of thousands, millions of loads of freight that are moving throughout the United States every year.

成千上萬的貨物 每年穿梭于美國大陸。

【3】In terms of source of emissions of greenhouse gases, it’s a massive producer.

它也是排放溫室氣體的主力隊員。

【7】[Sector: Logistics, Location: USA] The global supply chain is roughly broken up into what we call modes.

[行業(yè):物流,地區(qū):美國] 全球供應(yīng)鏈由多種運(yùn)輸模式組成。

【8】By far the largest mode is what we call full truckload.

最普遍的模式稱為“整車貨”。

【9】That is around a 400 billion-dollar-a-year mode in the US and in theory is the most efficient way to move freight.

在美國,這種模式每年會 產(chǎn)生 4000 億美元的收入。 理論上,這是效率最高的貨運(yùn)方式。

【10】But about half of the big trucks you see on the highway, they're only running half full.

但是你在高速公路上看到的大卡車, 其中有一半只有半載。

【11】If half of those trucks are only half full we burn the same amount of fuel, the same amount of diesel, create the same amount of greenhouse gas to run a truck half full as we do completely full.

如果半數(shù)的卡車只有半載, 意味著我們用等量的燃料、柴油, 在半載的情況下, 制造了滿載卡車制造的溫室氣體量。

【12】We're addressing that.

我們得解決這個問題。

【13】We are getting those trucks full.

我們得把卡車裝滿。

【14】We do algorithmic carpooling of truckload freight.

我們得用算法 讓貨運(yùn)用上滴滴順風(fēng)車。

【15】We've created a software solution where you can ride-share your freight.

我們開發(fā)了一個軟件, 讓貨物可以搭上順風(fēng)車。

【16】They give us a little bit of data, and they say, "I'm here today, there tomorrow."

用戶提供一些數(shù)據(jù), 比如“我今天在這個位置, 明天在那個位置?！?/p>

【17】'"I'm empty." "I'm a quarter empty."

“我空載?！?“我 1/4 空載?！?/p>

【18】We take that data and we create a more optimal outcome for that driver and for that carrier, which is just simply those two basic things: the shortest distance between two points and making sure the truck is full, which also creates an income earning opportunity for the driver.

我們收集這些數(shù)據(jù), 為駕駛員和車輛 提供更優(yōu)解, 我們提供的僅僅是 兩個簡單的信息: 兩點之間最短距離, 確?？ㄜ嚌M載, 同時也為駕駛員增加了收入機(jī)會。

【19】The driver has been paid to haul a load that's only half full.

就算只拉半車貨, 駕駛員也能獲得相應(yīng)的收入。

【20】We can create a world in which they can have dynamic, fluid access to freight and revenue.

我們可以創(chuàng)建一個新世界, 于此人們可以動態(tài)、 流動地獲取貨物和收入來源。

【21】The ability to kind of say, "I want to opt in or opt out."

一種類似于“可以訂閱, 也可以取關(guān)”的選擇權(quán),

【22】If I want to work a little more, I can make a little bit more.

多勞多得。

【23】As we scale, we will fundamentally bring down the paradigm of modes and create even greater efficiency.

在擴(kuò)大規(guī)模的同時, 我們想削弱貨運(yùn)模式的既成慣例, 大大提升效率。

【24】The problem with these various modes, they are not integrated with one another.

這些貨運(yùn)模式的問題是 它們沒有互相整合。

【25】They don't share data, they don't share visibility.

它們不共享數(shù)據(jù), 不共享可見內(nèi)容。

【26】If we could find a way to share this data, then we could create an entirely new supply chain that is much, much less resource-intensive from a capital standpoint, from an infrastructure standpoint but also from a carbon standpoint.

如果我們找到了 共享這些數(shù)據(jù)的方法, 我們就可以創(chuàng)造一個 全新的供應(yīng)鏈, 大幅減少資源消耗, 無論是出于資本角度、 基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施角度 還是碳排放角度。

【27】You would have a world in which there were no longer any modes and everything would be placed into the river and just flows where it needs to go.

你會身處一個沒有運(yùn)輸模式的世界, 一切都被置于水中,順其自然。

【28】This is a massive opportunity for whether it's greenhouse gas and sustainability or value and cost for the US supply chain.

無論是對于溫室氣體、 可持續(xù)性還是 美國供應(yīng)鏈的價值和成本, 這都是巨大的機(jī)遇。

【29】Through more data, we have better insights, we make better decisions, we build more valuable products.

有了更多的數(shù)據(jù), 我們會有更深的見解, 做出更好的決定, 打造更有價值的產(chǎn)品。

【30】Change does not typically occur quickly.

改變不在一朝一夕。

【31】So I guess my advice to people on the planet Earth is dream bigger, have higher expectations.

我想給地球上的人類一個建議: 大膽暢想, 大膽期望。

【32】The next wave of innovators are going to be focused on neutralizing carbon.

下一波創(chuàng)新者 將會關(guān)注碳中和。

【33】In doing so, they'll be the beneficiaries of very valuable businesses that are also doing their part to save the world.

他們在受益于 這價值連城的產(chǎn)業(yè)的同時, 也在為拯救世界貢獻(xiàn)一份力。
