JD to Help COSCO Shipping Logistics Build Intelligent Warehouse
by Yuchuan Wang
COSCO Shipping Logistics and JD Logistics (JDL) inked a partnership on Apr. 2 in which JDL will help COSCO build an intelligent warehouse in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, to drive the digital transformation of the logistics service provider affiliated with COSCO Shipping Corporation which owns one of the world’s largest shipping fleets.
According to the agreement, JDL will provide COSCO Shipping Logistics with integrated supply chain solutions. By introducing a highly efficient intelligent stacking machine system, the intelligent warehouse in Jiaxing is expected to be able to handle as many as 5 times the number of the in- and out-bound goods a traditional warehouse can process on an hourly basis. In addition, JDL will leverage its advanced algorithms and operations experience to enable unmanned retrieving and return of pallets in the warehouse.
“The Jiaxing automation project is a starting point of our collaboration with JD Logistics and a demonstration of the digital transformation push of COSCO Shipping Logistics,” said Kai Jiang, general manager of the company. “We hope to deepen our cooperation with JDL in both domestic and overseas markets in the future and complement each other’s advantages.”
“Supply chain digital transformation is a systematic project for enterprises. We are thrilled to participate in the construction of COSCO Shipping Logistics’ intelligent warehouse system which will leverage our deep understanding of supply chain automation, digitalization and intelligent-ization,” said Jade Wang, head of open platform for digital supply chain at JDL. “The two parties will establish a long-term communication mechanism to drive the digital transformation of COSCO Shipping Logistics.”
JD.com established a partnership with COSCO Shipping Corporation in 2017 and has since collaborated in shipment, logistics, e-commerce, technology and finance.

JD Logistics Launches International All-Cargo Air Route Between Wuhu, China and Hanoi, Vietnam
JD Logistics, also known as JINGDONG Logistics, has officially launched a new international all-cargo air route connecting Wuhu, China with Hanoi, Vietnam—marking the first direct freight flight service from Wuhu to Vietnam. This new route builds on JD Logistics’ growing Southeast Asia air network, which already includes routes between Shenzhen and Bangkok, as well as Shenzhen and Kuala Lumpur.
Leveraging the strategic location of Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport (IATA：WHA) in China’s Yangtze River Delta, this new route enables efficient multimodal transportation across air, rail, road, and waterways, covering most of China’s core cities within 2-4 hours. The Wuhu to Hanoi route will primarily serve as a critical channel for exporting apparel, home appliances, furniture, and mechanical parts from eastern and central China to Vietnam, while facilitating the import of Vietnamese specialty goods into China. Operating 2–3 times per week, each flight can carry up to 20 tons of cargo.
The launch is part of JD Logistics’ broader strategy to build its “11668” global supply chain air network.
In recent years, JD Logistics has made significant progress in expanding its global end-to-end logistics capabilities. The company now operates over 100 bonded, direct mail, and overseas warehouses worldwide, managing more than 1 million square meters. In Southeast Asia alone, JD Logistics runs 7 overseas warehouses, supporting local businesses, Chinese brands expanding globally, and cross-border e-commerce sellers. In 2024, the company’s Southeast Asia business has more than doubled in volume year-over-year, driven by deepening strategic partnerships across the region.
JD Logistics is also rapidly expanding its cross-border air freight capabilities across Southeast Asia, with air routes now serving Vietnam, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Malaysia. Looking ahead, the company will continue investing in its three strategic pillars—overseas warehouses, international air freight, and global express delivery—as it works to build a seamless and efficient global supply chain logistics network for businesses and consumers worldwide.
