The epidemic has promoted a sharp increase in express delivery volume, and China's express delivery special new energy logistics vehicles have entered the European market

The epidemic has promoted the rapid growth of parcel volume around the world, including Europe, which provides a historic opportunity for local express delivery special new energy logistics vehicles and express unmanned vehicles to enter the European market.

On December 16, Matrix Data Technology · The WEBER family represented by The German Weber GreenTech AG ("WEBER Company") held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony with the theme of "Orange Together and Transport Europe". Under the agreement, the WEBER family company will leverage its decades-long experience in the European market to partner with Matrix Data Technologies. Together with Haochi Intelligent Vehicle, the "Orange 01" express delivery special new energy logistics vehicle and the "zero-load unmanned vehicle" made by China Intelligent will land in the European market.

"Orange 01" express delivery special new energy logistics vehicle, developed and designed by Matrix Data Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Matrix Data Technology"), developed and manufactured by Shandong Haochi Intelligent Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Haochi Intelligent Automobile"). It is reported that Matrix Data Technology is a scientific and technological enterprise focusing on the research and development of new energy distribution vehicles, logistics unmanned vehicle research and development, and terminal automated distribution services, and the first intelligent driving enterprise with the national record of vehicle production qualifications.

The latest operational data shows that the use of "Orange 01" for terminal express delivery, a single bicycle can deliver an average of 2000-2500 pieces per day. At present, the Orange Series models are put into use in more than 170 cities in China, and are used in express delivery, logistics, supermarkets, agricultural product transportation and other scenarios.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world have shifted from brick-and-mortar shopping to e-commerce. Gu Zulin, president of Matrix Data Technology, said that the world's major countries have increased e-commerce traffic significantly after the epidemic. In terms of express reservation, the data shows that in 2020, Germany's express and parcel operators delivered 4.05 billion goods, an increase of 10.9% over the previous year, for this year, the German parcel and express logistics association currently expects the market growth rate to be around 8%, and the parcel volume to increase by 320 million. Looking ahead, express and parcel market experts predict that by 2025, the total volume will grow at an average annual rate of 7% to 5.7 billion pieces, an increase of 1.7 billion over last year. This new medium-term forecast is almost twice the growth rate of around 4% before the outbreak.

The rapid growth of parcel volume has provided a historic opportunity for express delivery special new energy logistics vehicles and express unmanned vehicles to enter the European market. After working with the Weber family company in Germany, Matrix Data Technology · Haochi Intelligent Vehicle will begin to lay out the sales network of "Orange 01" new energy express logistics vehicles in Europe, and WEBER will plan to achieve sales of 30,000 units in the European market in three years.

The rapid development of unmanned distribution is not only because of the supplementary terminal distribution capacity, which can help solve the problem of human distribution in extreme weather. Also thanks to the promotion of technology iteration and effectiveness improvement, unmanned delivery vehicles are small in size, relevant policies are introduced early, and low-speed unmanned driving can be commercially landed as soon as possible. The impact of the epidemic has also accelerated the development of the unmanned vehicle distribution industry.

Christian Weber, chairman of WEBER GreenTech AG, said that on May 20 this year, the German House of Commons approved a bill that hopes to allow the first generation of driverless taxis and driverless freight vehicles on the road in 2022.

The matrix data technology signed a contract with the German WEBER family company, and will also jointly establish a European new energy express unmanned vehicle capacity network.

It is reported that matrix data technology actively invests in unmanned distribution layout, the same platform model "Orange Shi 01D" unmanned delivery vehicle is a new energy logistics unmanned vehicle that can be delivered in batches, based on the development of the vehicle-level platform, the configuration of the intelligent driving system established around the terminal distribution scenario to meet the "last kilometer" distribution needs. Obtained the road test license of "RoboExpress, a zero-manned new energy logistics vehicle" driving on a motorized road in Jinan.

Christian Weber said that from the development status and future development trend of new energy express logistics vehicles and express unmanned vehicles in the European market, the performance of new energy logistics vehicles in the European market is full of expectations and affirmations.

Gu Zulin said at the signing ceremony that the signing of the contract is the first step for Matrix Data Technology Haochi Intelligent Vehicle to enter the European market. Through the signing of this strategic cooperation agreement, China's intelligent new energy express delivery vehicles and unmanned vehicle products will be brought out of the country and to the world.
