This letter of intent for partnershi+p came from SF Express The partnershi+p hoped to introduce drone express technology to Hua and use the city of Xiangjiang as a pilot to coistics network

Jiang Chen was extre the content of the partnershi+p

“Drone + Courier” – this concept was proposed long ago, and it wasn’t a concept from Future Group

As early as June 2013, Matternet Corporation tested drone networks in Haiti and Do two kilogra the initial planning of the drone network, the coe international drone transport network and a global supply system for drone accessories At the sa base station so that drones could land along the way for charging

In September of the same year, the courier drone independently developed by SF Express completed internal tests and conducted trial operations in local areas This drone adopted eight rotors and had a flying height of about 100 ation system, the destination and route could be set in advance by staff The drone would automatically reach the destination and errors could be controlled within two meters

However, both Matternet and SF hadn’t been able to extend the drone logistics for widespread adoption The former drone seemed to be suitable only for poor countries in the third world, while the latter’s drones were only suitable for use in poor istics could significantly increase distribution efficiency as well as reduce labor costs, they were constrained by severe weather and the inability to avoid vandalis the concept of “Drone + Courier” only feasible on paper

Penglai was probably the only istics However, the reason as partially because of the technical advancement in drones However, the lai

For exazhou sent irlfriend with a drone and the drone was shot down by an old wouy discovered that his drone was ‘hijacked’, he rushed to the wo the drone shot down, but she also said she was almost injured by the drone…”

Not to ray area, and there seeer and stronger froeneral public SF Express wanted to introduce beta series drones from Future Heavy Industries and coistics network in Hua To be honest, Jiang Chen didn’t view their decision favorably

However, their offerChen to refuse

For the co, the quote fro Chen’s calculations, 500 drone ter and to meet the demand for distributio, about 50,000 drones would suffice

According to the cost of production of the Beta-3 drone, a drone cost 3,000 US Dollar Compared to Matternet’s 5,000 US Dollar drone, they offered an advantage in both technology and price

A detailed calculation suggested that the establishistic network for SF Express wouldn’t exceed 200 million US Dollar Compared to its offer of 450 million US Dollar, it was a 125 profit!

Moreover, if the pilot city of Xiangjiang proved the feasibility of drone logistics networks to the mainland, the next step of SF Express undoubtedly would be to expand the drone logistics network to Shenzhen, followed by Guangzhou, and then…

Consider the number of cities in the entire country How e old mine!
