On the morning of January 15, the launch ceremony of new energy vehicles in express delivery industry was held in Cultural Plaza. The first batch of 62 new energy express delivery vehicles will be used in more than 20 express companies in Ningbo.
It is learned that the operation costs of new energy express delivery vehicles will be significantly reduced, which is about half of the costs of the traditional delivery vehicles.
Tang Ming, Manager of TTK Express Ningbo said that in the future, the company will have 3 new energy express delivery vehicles put into use. During the process of trial, he was quite satisfied with the environmental performance of the new vehicles. However, there still exist two concerns.

According to the latest statistics, by the end of 2015, Ningbo had had a total of 4,512 new energy vehicles officially registered. In addition, Ningbo has set up three standard charging stations for electric vehicles, eight fast charging stations, forty eight DC charging piles, ninety AC charging piles and four energy storage type charging piles.

Ningbo to build 100 featured towns

According to the recently issued "on accelerating the planning and construction of featured towns in Ningbo", by 2018, Ningbo will make efforts to build 100 featured towns, including about 20 at the provincial level, about 35 at the municipal level and about 45 at the county (or district) level. Over 200 billion yuan will be invested in the construction of the featured towns at the provincial and municipal levels. 
The featured towns will focus on the development of such advantageous and emerging industries as intelligent manufacturing, high-end equipment manufacturing, energy saving and environmental protection, new materials, finance, information economy, tourism, health and fashion, as well as such classical industries as traditional craftsmanship, featured food and folk culture. In other words, the featured towns will center on the core industries, highlight the town characteristics, improve the industrial chain, establish the all-industrial chain coordination system and improve the industrial added value. 
In terms of the planning, the location of the featured town should be in line with the urban-rural planning. In principle, the towns should be separated from the urban and rural centers and can be linked with each other. The planned area of the provincial featured towns is about three square kilometers and that of the municipal ones is about two to three square kilometers, while the construction area is about one square kilometers. The featured towns at the provincial level should be built as 3A scenic areas and the tourist towns will be built as 5A scenic areas. The municipal featured towns are also encouraged to be built according to the standard. The towns will be upgraded as industrial agglomeration zones and functional zones. 
In terms of the investment scales, the featured towns at the municipal level will attract a fixed assets investment of about three billion yuan, and those featuring finance, information economy, tourism, fashion, and classical industries can have less investment. The investment in the provincial featured towns will be five billion yuan
