Abstract
2018 saw an accelerated transformation and upgrade of China’s logistics facilities and technological development. The construction of transportation infrastructures in the Central and Western regions progressed orderly. The deployment of comprehensive transportation channel network improved gradually. The total number of logistics parks continued to rise. Specialized logistics parks and intelligent warehouses proliferated rapidly. The development and application of unmanned transportation vehicles sped up. The level of intellectualization and greening of logistics facilities continued to improve. The construction of national multimodal transport public information platform was initiated. An “internet of things” of inter-enterprise express delivery was preliminarily formed. Some new national basic logistics standards and professional logistics standards were released in 2018.
