To effectively reduce overall logistics costs and accelerate transportation structure optimization, Zhejiang Province has jointly issued the "Action Plan for Building a Modern Logistics System in Zhejiang." The initiative aims to create a "green, smart, and efficient" modern logistics framework.

**Key Targets:** By 2027, significant progress is expected in cost reduction, efficiency gains, and green transformation. The total social logistics costs as a percentage of GDP will drop to around 13%, while container sea-rail and river-sea intermodal transport volumes will exceed 2.5 million and 4 million TEUs, respectively. By 2030, the province targets a further reduction to 12.5% in logistics costs relative to GDP, with waterway and railway freight turnover increasing by over 10% compared to 2025 levels.

**Five Major Initiatives:** 1. **Transportation Structure Optimization:** - Promote a shift from road to water transport, expanding routes along the Yangtze, Huaihe, and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and enhancing container channels in northern Zhejiang. - Advance railway freight, accelerating projects like the Shanghai-Hangzhou High-Speed Rail and Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway. - Boost multimodal联运, with sea-rail联运 volumes growing at an annual rate of 10% by 2030.

2. **Logistics Infrastructure Upgrades:** - Align logistics facilities with urban and industrial planning. - Develop national logistics hubs, including Ningbo-Zhoushan Commodity Resource Hub, and support zero-carbon logistics parks.

3. **Equipment Modernization:** - Deploy smart technologies like unmanned vehicles and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). - Transition to clean-energy transport: By 2030, 75% of trucks will meet National VI or新能源 standards, and 6% of inland vessels will use新能源.

4. **Innovative Business Models:** - Integrate AI into logistics, upgrade digital platforms, and pilot drone deliveries in remote areas. - Expand cold-chain logistics and recycling networks for废旧物资 like batteries and textiles.

5. **Governance Enhancements:** - Regulate unfair competition in delivery and freight sectors. - Establish应急 logistics systems for emergencies.

The plan underscores Zhejiang’s commitment to sustainable logistics, leveraging technology and policy to drive long-term efficiency.
