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. First of all, Ningbo don’t have too many charging points in city, and the present charging of the new vehicles can only be completed within the enterprises. In addition, the new energy express delivery vehicles belong to light vans, which means they need to obtain corresponding pass cards to get into the city during peak period.
A responsible person from Ningbo Science and Technology Bureau said Ningbo will further improve the relevant supporting policies to ensure the promotion, application and industrialization of the new energy vehicles.
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.
