In terms of the application of unmanned technology, Yunda has assisted outlets in building centralized-package warehouses and grid warehouses, and reasonably configured unmanned vehicles, smart express lockers, unmanned stations and other equipment.
In 2024, Yunda not only performed outstandingly in financial data but also continued to make efforts in the ESG field, demonstrating the responsibility of Qingpu enterprises.
As for green logistics, Yunda has reduced carbon emissions and resource consumption in the operation process by building a green logistics ecosystem covering the entire process.
