Smart logistics is an "online platform + offline network" business model created by the group under the rapid development trend of new energy vehicles, taking the support of relevant national policies as an opportunity. On the one hand, smart logistics relies on logistics distribution centers to accurately deploy new energy logistics comprehensive service stations, provide electric vehicle charging, parking, rest, collection, maintenance, leasing and other comprehensive logistics services, and form a comprehensive service network for new energy distribution; on the other hand, it applies new technologies to create an intelligent logistics information platform, provide collection services, route planning, intelligent pile search and other services, effectively improve the value of single-vehicle transportation, and further provide credit investigation, supervision, food transportation and other services through blockchain technology and logistics big data analysis.

The 10 smart logistics stations that have been put into operation cover Longquanyi District, Shuangliu District, Xindu District of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province and Erqi District of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Within one and a half months of official operation, they have more than 1,200 registered users and serve more than 400 vehicles per day. Shippers, transportation companies, logistics parks, charging stations and other parties can deepen interaction and collaboration in all aspects of logistics operations, improve overall efficiency, and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

Establishing a platform model to provide integrated energy services intelligently and efficiently

During the National Day holiday this year, the State Grid 95598 customer service hotline operated smoothly and orderly, with an average of 1,221 people on duty every day and more than 1 million incoming calls. The composite energy network and smart service park project in the State Grid Customer Service Center Park was built by the State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group. It is the first regional energy Internet project in China with an operation time of more than 4 years, centered on electricity, and a comprehensive coordinated supply of multiple energy sources. It can meet the energy needs of electricity, cooling, heating, etc. for 6,000 call seats in the park with an area of ​​278,800 square meters all year round. The annual average proportion of renewable energy in the park is greater than 31%, achieving 100% electricity substitution.
