Couriers shuttling through urban and rural areas, smart sorting lines running at high speed... These busy scenes that can be seen everywhere not only show the continuous development momentum and surging vitality of the express delivery industry, but also write vivid footnotes on the continuous recovery and positive trend of China's economy.
From crayfish in Yutai, Shandong, to auto parts in Tongxiang, Zhejiang, to durian in Chumphon Province, Thailand, the express delivery industry continues to enrich service scenarios, expand service areas, and improve service quality. On the one hand, we are actively promoting the construction of a rural delivery logistics system to effectively open up the “first kilometer” of agricultural products leaving the village and entering the city. On the other hand, we are extending services from the consumer sector to the production process, and providing manufacturing enterprises with integrated supply chain services such as inbound logistics and warehousing and distribution. At the same time, express delivery companies are also speeding up the improvement of air transport service capabilities. By opening new and additional intercontinental cargo routes and international regular cargo routes, they are building a safe, reliable, autonomous and controllable international logistics supply chain system to provide more convenient services for more Chinese products to go overseas and import foreign goods.
It is worth mentioning that since large-scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade-in campaigns were launched, express delivery companies have seized a new round of development opportunities, accelerated the elimination of old sorting and security equipment, increased the proportion of new energy vehicle applications, strengthened the application of modern information technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, and promoted the intelligent and low-carbon upgrading of equipment. In addition, express delivery companies are actively developing reverse logistics and introducing new development models such as “exchange+recycling” and “delivery, assembly, dismantling, and collection” to help “trade in” consumer goods and continue to contribute industry strength to reducing social logistics costs.
