京東低空無人機物流網絡敲定 覆蓋陝西全省
China's e-commerce giant has signed an agreement with northwest China's Shaanxi provincial government to set up the world's first low altitude UAV, or unmanned aerial vehicles logistics network covering the whole province.
中國電商巨頭京東已於日前和陝西省政府簽訂了一項協議，將在該省建立全球第一個覆蓋全省的低空無人機物流網絡。The drones to be used in Shaanxi are to be ten times bigger than those used in the Beijing-based company's first UAV debut last June.
即將在陝西省投入使用的無人機比京東去年6月份使用的無人機要大出10倍。Being able to travel up to 300 kilometres per flight, the drones can be loaded with several tonnes of goods.
這種無人機每次可飛300公里，載重達到了數噸。
UAV logistics networks are designed to cut the costs of shipping in remote and mountainous areas, said Liu Qiangdong, CEO of .
據京東CEO劉強東表示，無人機物流網絡的目的是爲了降低偏遠山區的運輸成本。Parcels will first be taken to distribution centres at town and township levels via traditional transport means. Drones will then take parcels to each village where they will be distributed to the customers.
包裹首先會通過傳統運輸方式運送到鄉鎮級配送中心。無人機會將包裹送到每個村，然後在配送給客戶。The company currently uses UAVs in Liu Qiangdong's hometown Suqian city in Jiangsu Province; in Xi'an city, the capital of Shaanxi; and in Beijing.
京東目前實行無人機送貨的地區包括江蘇省的宿遷市（劉強東的家鄉）、陝西省省會西安市以及北京。and the Shaanxi provincial government will also cooperate in setting up a comprehensive UAV logistics platform, a UAV engineering centre, an intelligent logistics data base, a national low altitude management platform, the Shaanxi agricultural product supply chain and an intelligent logistics town.
此外，京東還將與陝西政府合作建立一個綜合的無人機物流平臺、一個無人機工程中心、一個智能物流數據中心、一個國家級低空管理平臺、陝西農產品供應鏈和一個智能物流城。
