China Truck Data Showing Lockdown’s Impact Vanishes From View

(Bloomberg) — Real-time trucking data that shows the heavy toll of Covid restrictions on the Chinese economy is no longer being made publicly available, according to the company collecting the information.

G7 Connect restricted who can see the data it gathers from millions of trucks across China, the company said in a statement. Previously, the data was available on its website and through other data providers, but the Beijing-based fleet management startup now requires pre-approved individuals and companies to log onto its website to gain access to the information.
