7 regular autonomous logistics routes launched in Dapeng

Seven regular autonomous logistics routes have been launched in Dapeng New Area and now Shenzhen’s unmanned delivery services have covered all district-level areas.

The seven routes were jointly deployed by autonomous vehicle companies including Zelos RoboVan and Neolix, with logistics operators such as SF Express, YTO Express, JD Logistics and China Post providing last-mile delivery services.

Located between mountains and the sea, Dapeng has widely dispersed residential and industrial areas, making traditional delivery services challenging due to long travel distances and high costs for remote locations. The new autonomous routes were designed to address these local needs.

A route jointly operated by Zelos RoboVan and China Post uses autonomous delivery vehicles to handle daily parcel deliveries across areas including Kuichong, Baguang New Village, Zengwu Village and Gaoyuan Village. The vehicles are capable of operating on both major roads and narrow village lanes.

Another route, launched by Neolix and SF Express, connects Dapeng with neighboring Pingshan District. Using two autonomous vehicles, it becomes Dapeng’s first regular cross-district autonomous delivery route, providing stable transportation capacity for parcel deliveries between districts.
