Logistics industry innovation and development, new momentum to promote new changes

In recent years, the logistics industry has continued to innovate and develop, and new technologies and new models have emerged endlessly, injecting new impetus into economic development. Here are some of the most important recent news in the logistics industry.

According to the news of China network on March 5, with the continuous improvement of the railway network, high-speed rail logistics is becoming a new bright spot in the logistics industry. High-speed rail Express has taken advantage of the fast, punctual and low-carbon characteristics of high-speed rail to occupy a place in the express delivery market. In 2024, the national railway freight delivery reached an unprecedented level, state-owned enterprises such as China Railway Express and private enterprises such as SF Express and Jingdong Logistics have joined hands to jointly explore new models of high-speed rail freight. High-speed rail logistics speed, high on-time rate, strong transportation capacity, high safety, green environmental protection, in the range of 500 to 2,000 kilometers, the time is three times the road transport, the comprehensive transportation cost is only half of the aviation. This will not only provide customers with higher quality express services, but also is expected to further reduce the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP, and contribute to the construction of a unified national market.

According to Sina financial news on March 5, a number of good news came from the transportation field. Four shipping enterprises have recently signed a "single system" transport service agreement with the National Railway Group, and users can handle the full logistics service of hot metal combined transport through a single application on the railway platform, achieving "one commission, one box to the end, and one settlement", which effectively reduces the full logistics cost. On March 4, the first all-cargo route between Urumqi, China and Islamabad, Pakistan was officially put into operation, and a SF Airlines Boeing 757 cargo plane carrying 2.57 tons of cross-border e-commerce goods arrived in Islamabad smoothly, further unimpeded the cross-border logistics channel between China and Pakistan.

According to the observer network on March 5 news, on March 4, SF Group signed a cooperation agreement with Yifei Air, and SF ordered the first 100 self-developed ES1000 large ultra-short takeoff and landing unmanned transport aircraft 3 to Yifei Air. Yifly's ES1000 has a maximum takeoff weight of 4.5 tons, a payload of 1.5 tons, a range of 1,200 kilometers, a cargo hold capacity of 12 cubic meters, and a cruising speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Due to the use of turbine hybrid power and distributed electric propulsion technology, it can achieve ultra-short takeoff and landing, which can significantly reduce the dependence on traditional airports, and perfectly complement the branch links in the "trunk and end" system of air transport. The cooperation is expected to increase the logistics timeliness by more than 50%, effectively promote the upgrading of medical supplies distribution in remote areas, e-commerce and other services, and accelerate the integration of express logistics and unmanned transport industry.

In terms of smart logistics, according to the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee on March 4, Tonglu's Shentong Express driverless vehicle was put into use, providing "Tonglu experience" for the development of "smart logistics". These driverless vehicles are equipped with high-precision GPS navigation, 360-degree cameras and radar sensors, which can accurately perceive the surrounding environment and plan the best route, effectively alleviating the employment problems of the Courier industry, reducing the time for couriers to and from the station, and playing a role in reducing personnel, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

These new developments in the logistics industry are constantly improving logistics efficiency, reducing logistics costs, and providing strong support for high-quality economic development. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and continuous innovation of the model, the logistics industry is expected to usher in broader prospects for development.
