Jingdong introduces 1000 new energy vehicles for Double 11

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- As China largest online shopping day, Double 11 (Singles’ Day) easily causes traffic jam, but new energy cars with no limit will speed up urban logistics. On October 31, Jingdong Logistics announced to introduce thousands of new energy vehicles and put into use in more than 10 large and medium-sized cities like Beijing, Shanghai and others, and in the next 5 years, Jingdong Logistics will replace thousands of cars with new energy vehicles. Experts believe that the fuel trucks are limited in many cities, resulting in low efficiency of logistics. With the city to relax the control of new energy cars in road travel, new energy vehicles can achieve 24 hours travel, which will improve the efficiency of logistics distribution.

In fact, Jingdong not only introduces new energy cars, but also extends the industrial cooperation chain in new energy transportation. It is understood that the Jingdong will have cooperation with charging service operations and vehicle logistics companies. Wang Hui, the vice president of Jingdong Distribution Department said that in charging services field, Jingdong logistics and charging pile enterprises will jointly develop the construction of electric charging piles.

An official said that with more and more new energy vehicles on the road, new energy vehicles can realize 24 hours of travel in many cities. The layout of new energy vehicles enterprises can further improve the efficiency of logistics.

It is worth noting that the road limit on trucks also let the logistics companies set up many courier shops in the city, which is a huge cost for enterprises. The official said, due to the trucks only can distribute in limited time, enterprises must set up many courier shops in the city and the trucks transport the goods to courier shop at night. In the daytime the courier shops deliver the goods to consumers, so that a large number of courier shops are a huge cost for the delivery enterprises and franchisee. But with the liberalization of city policy in the future, new energy vehicles can achieve 24 hours of travel, which will reduce the establishment of express shops and the cost of enterprises.
