Since the launch of the "14th Five-Year Plan," Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has leveraged its resource advantages, industrial demands, and policy support to vigorously develop new quality productive forces in the transportation sector.

In cultivating advanced productivity scenarios, the region has achieved autonomous truck platooning for freight transport. Ordos City pioneered large-scale autonomous freight applications, deploying 343 self-driving heavy trucks with cumulative test mileage exceeding 30 million kilometers and cargo transport surpassing 25 million tons. Modular container transport was also explored, marking China’s first official operation of double-trailer truck combinations, completing over 8,000 trips, 1.11 million kilometers, and transporting more than 400,000 tons of goods. Additionally, the region introduced cross-border AGV unmanned transport, with Ganqimaodu Port establishing the nation’s first dedicated AGV corridor. Ganqimaodu and Ceke Ports have conducted over 180,000 unmanned cross-border trips, moving more than 12 million tons of coal.

In smart logistics development, Inner Mongolia established a digital freight platform enabling end-to-end management, now serving 29 provinces. It promoted multimodal "road-rail-sea" transport, creating a bidirectional rail corridor between Caofeidian Port and Huade County for seamless intermodal connectivity. The region also advanced cold chain logistics, fostering over 10 specialized projects and six leading enterprises in smart and cross-border cold chain transport, covering 30 provinces. Pilot projects for new energy digital dry ports are underway, with Ordos’ "new energy + digital dry port + bulk-to-container" model steadily expanding. Four dry ports have been built, handling 8.7 million tons of coal annually and reducing carbon emissions by 60,100 tons.

For low-altitude economy initiatives, Inner Mongolia released three action plans for general aviation, low-altitude logistics, and airspace management reform, alongside infrastructure planning for general airports and UAV hubs. Applications in logistics delivery and emergency rescue are growing, with "UAV + BeiDou + AI" road inspections enabling smart patrolling, safety checks, and environmental monitoring.
