Express delivery industry, from competing for "speed" to competing for "green"
2023-06-19
Building green warehouses to reduce energy consumption; Promote green transportation and reduce pollution emissions; Upgrading express recycling and promoting circular economy... During the 618 promotion, "fast" was no longer the only keyword in the express industry, and many express companies began to vigorously promote green carbon reduction. This has also become a vivid epitome of the green and low-carbon transformation of China's express delivery industry in recent years. From breaking 10 billion pieces in 39 days to breaking 50 billion pieces in 5 months, China's express delivery industry has achieved an average monthly growth of "10 billion level" since the beginning of this year. The surge in logistics transportation volume has brought about an increase in total carbon emissions, testing the industry's ability to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. How can the express delivery industry take a new path of green, circular, and resource-based development, from competing for "speed" to competing for "green"? Recently, reporters tracked the processes of warehousing, sorting, transportation, and packaging recycling to observe the progress and effectiveness of green development in the express delivery industry. The warehousing process - the photovoltaic power station "landed" at the transfer center on June 1st at midnight in Liuyang, Hunan. The 150000 square meter Yunda Changsha distribution center is brightly lit, and trucks loaded with packages are busy working at 34 unloading ports. In the automated sorting workshop, four sets of three-layer high-speed cross belt sorting equipment are operating at full speed, including single scanning, cross sorting, and automatic bag collection. Parcels transported from various places are labeled with their own "ID cards" and fall into the circular bag collection bag, heading towards the next station branch. The fully automated operation of express sorting can reduce labor by 70%, but it also brings the daily electricity consumption of the entire distribution center to 35000 kilowatt hours. "Guan Lin, the person in charge of Yunda Changsha Distribution Center, introduced that during the" 618 "promotion period, due to the need to start up early and increase scheduling, the electricity load increased by about 5% compared to daily use during the peak business season. The electricity consumption has increased, but it has become more environmentally friendly. Following Guan Lin's guidance, a large area of solar photovoltaic panels is neatly laid on the roof of the distribution center. These photovoltaic panels have an area of nearly 50000 square meters and continuously generate clean electricity, which not only meets the electricity demand of the distribution center, but also allows for surplus electricity to be connected to the grid, saving energy for society, "said Guan Lin. Since its operation in October 2022 until the end of May this year, the photovoltaic power station has accumulated nearly 3 million kilowatt hours of power generation. Transportation link - Logistics vehicles use "new energy". On June 5th, less than 5 o'clock, it was just dawn, and Yan Yongjian, the freight driver of Yuantong Beijing, began a busy day. It took several tens of kilometers to travel from the Beijing North Gathering and Transfer Center of Yuantong to the Chaoyang International Exhibition branch, taking five round-trip trips. "The fuel consumption cost of diesel vehicles per kilometer is 70 cents, and that of Alternative fuel vehicle is only 30 cents, which is cost-effective!" Last October, Yan Yong built one of the first drivers of new energy logistics vehicles in Yuantong network. Yuantong Financial Street branch, express delivery guy Zhao Qi has recently been equipped with new equipment. Each package is unloaded from the Alternative fuel vehicle, and then transferred to the sorting port on the conveyor belt. Zhao Qi skillfully picks, yards and loads goods. During the '618' promotion period, the average daily delivery of over 400 packages was 35% more than usual, "Zhao Qi said. Research shows that compared to warehousing and packaging, the carbon emissions in the transportation sector of the express delivery industry are more prominent in terms of absolute volume and growth rate, which is the key to reducing carbon emissions in the industry
