King Long Autonomous Logistics Vehicles Shine at Beijing Half Marathon

On 16 April, the Beijing Half Marathon 2023 kicked off! As the official logistics provider of the event, JD Logistics, with its strong integrated supply chain service capability and rich experience in marathon services, joined hands with King Long autonomous logistics vehicles to efficiently realize the "last-mile delivery" and assured the smooth running of the event.

The marathon started from Tian'anmen Square and finished at the Olympic Park, with a route, spanning 21.0975 kilometers and 20,000 participants. It was a large competition with a great number of contestants, a long course and lots of links and the atmosphere was extremely high, receiving widespread attention from all walks of life and numerous spectators, which at the same time meant higher requirements for on-site material support and transportation.

It is worth mentioning that the DIDO autonomous logistics vehicle, developed and manufactured by King Long, also took part in the event. The red autonomous logistics vehicles, asisting JD Logistics in presenting a well-organised and well-served marathon, became a beautiful scenery on the road. Local residents and runners were able to experience the advance development of logistics technology at close quarters, trying the interesting operations of the intelligent delivery vehicles, and gained mystery toy boxes from the storage compartment of the logistics vehicle.

Since September 2020, King Long has officially signed a furthering strategic cooperation agreement with JD Logistics to jointly develop a low-speed autonomous vehicle with commercial landing conditions - the DIDO autonomous logistics vehicle, which is now increasingly known and loved by more and more people.

Developed and manufactured by King Long, the DIDO autonomous logistics vehicle is equipped with a variety of sensors, such as LIDAR, monocular camera, and red/green detection camera, which work in tandem to give it more sensitive obstacle detection and road condition perception capabilities, ultimately achieving autonomous in various complex scenarios.

With its humanised and intelligent automatic logistics distribution solution, DIDO autonomous logistics vehicle realizes the "last-mile delivery" and meets the logistics distribution needs of more scenarios such as communities, hospitals, large factories, etc. It solves the pain points of the traditional courier industry, such as high personnel costs, low efficiency and work and rest restrictions, and contributes brand power to the high-quality and collaborative development of the domestic unmanned logistics distribution industry.

The Beijing Half Marathon 2023 has been successfully completed, but the spirit it conveys still inspires people to go beyond the limits. With the rapid development of standardisation in the digital era, King Long will continue to make efforts in intelligent logistics, take technological innovation as the driving force for development, and actively explore the path of transformation and upgrading.
