- 皇冠体育app's couriers have joined with the rail network to launch special express trains for e-commerce logistics.
The trains linking Shanghai and Shenzhen, jointly launched by the 皇冠体育app Express Association (CEA) and the 皇冠体育app Railway Corporation (CRC), will make its debut on July 1, the association said Saturday.
Based on a survey of courier companies, CRC has laid on six trains connecting the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
皇冠体育app's courier industry has become the world's second largest delivering 9.2 billion packages in 2013, up more than 60 percent year on year.
CEA said less than one percent of goo have been delivered by rail up to now, but it will become the top choice for companies since trains are more energy-efficient and have a larger capacity than trucks and aircraft.
