JD develops automatic delivery vans

導讀:京東高價無人送貨車高校首秀，配送過程竟滿屏尷尬。近日京東宣布與中國汽車製造商上汽大通汽車有限公司和東風汽車公司建立合作關係，對中國首批自動貨車進行進一步的研究和完善。

JD.com Inc, China』s second-largest e-commerce player, on Thursday announced partnerships with Chinese auto makers SAIC Maxus and Dongfeng Motor Corporation to conduct research on the country』s first automatic vans.

周四，中國第二大電子商務公司京東宣布與中國汽車製造商上汽大通汽車有限公司和東風汽車公司建立合作關係，對中國首批自動貨車進行研究。

The e-commerce giant has jointly developed two models of automatic light electric vans with SAIC Maxus and Dongfeng respectively, for the delivery of goods from JD』s distribution centers to delivery stations, JD said in a statement.

京東在一份聲明中表示，這家電子商務巨頭已分別與上汽大通和東風共同開發了兩款自動輕型電動貨車，用於將貨物從京東的配送中心運送到派送站。

SAIC Maxus』 electric van can sense obstacles 150 meters away and plan its route leveraging its radar system, sensors and positioning system. To date the van has conducted successful tests of automatic route planning, overtaking, obstacle avoidance and self-parking functions, according to JD.

電動汽車能夠感受150米以內的障礙物，然後使用雷達系統進行接收和定位，進而規劃路線。據京東稱，目前，自動貨車成功通過了自動路線規劃、緊急剎車、避開障礙物和自動停車測試。

The partners will carry out all-round cooperation to promote the development of automatic vehicles and related technologies, and improve the construction of an intelligent logistics system.

雙方將開展全方位合作以推動自動化車輛及相關技術的發展，同時改進智能物流系統的構建。

Automatic vans are the latest addition to JD』s automated vehicle family. The company is increasingly betting on its intelligent logistics operations to differentiate itself from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

自動貨車是京東自動化配送車輛家族的新型產品。京東逐漸加大對智能物流業務的經濟研發投入，以期通過物流優勢與阿里巴巴競爭。

JD began developing its automatic delivery vehicles last year, aiming to employ unmanned delivery vehicles to conduct bulk deliveries to office buildings and residential areas in cities to enhance delivery efficiency.

為了提高配送效率，JD在去年開始投入研發自動配送車輛，配送範圍針對辦公室和其他住宅區。

Last year, it successfully used drones to deliver online purchases to rural shoppers in Jiangsu province. Moreover, robots and driverless cars for deliveries were used during the June 18 shopping festival this year.

去年，京東已經成功地使用無人機向江蘇省的農村消費者提供在線購物的配送服務。此外，在今年6月18日的購物節期間，也採用過機器人和無人駕駛汽車配送貨物。

Wang Zhenhui, CEO of JD Logistics, said: "Working with partners, we will continue to enhance our smart logistics and push the bounds of our traditional logistics solutions."

王振輝，京東後勤負責人說，通過與合作商的研發，我們將持續提高智能後勤服務並打破傳統後勤服務的界限。

The automatic vans used for delivering goods are still in the phase of R&D, and we still need a long time to see its large-scale commercial application as the automatic vehicles must undergo multiple tests and obtain a license before they are introduced on roads, said Lu Zhenwang, CEO of Shanghai-based Wanqing Consultancy.

「這種用於運輸物品的自動化貨車任然處於研發階段，未來我們仍需要更多的時間對其進行開發，如果想把自動化貨車大範圍應用，那麼它必須經歷各種各樣的考驗，當然還需要在上路之前取得行駛許可。」上海萬慶諮詢公司的首席執行官陸振旺說。

Lu said JD has taken the lead in the domestic intelligent logistics sector and has invested hugely in related intelligent equipment, such as unmanned sorting and handling equipment, drones and driverless.

陸振旺說，京東在國內智能物流領域佔據領先地位，並在相關的智能設備上投入了大量資金，比如無人操作的分類和處理設備、無人駕駛飛機運貨等。

Of course, the application of automatic vans could enhance the efficiency of delivery and reduce costs, he said.

「當然，無人配送車的應用能提效減支，」他說。

JD currently operates China』s largest nationwide delivery network and is able to provide same-or next-day delivery to a population of over a billion. Its logistics innovation lab is also researching other advanced automation technologies such as automated warehouses to enhance the user experience.

京東目前運作著全國最大的快遞網，並且有能力為十幾億人口提供當日或隔日的快遞服務。它的後勤創新實驗室也正在研究其他先進技術，比如提升用戶體驗的自動化倉庫技術來。
