With the dual impetus of technological development and policy guidance, China’s low-altitude economy is gradually moving from theoretical conception to practical application, becoming a new engine for driving economic growth. Among them, low-altitude logistics, as a key application field of low-altitude economy, is quietly reshaping the traditional logistics landscape with its unique advantages, demonstrating remarkable development potential.
Low-altitude logistics is a new logistics model that uses low-altitude aircraft such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) as carriers to achieve cargo transportation in the airspace below 1000 meters. Its core value lies in breaking through the limitations of ground transportation and reconfiguring the efficiency of logistics time and space. For example, the transportation of 18 kilometers between Lingshan Island in Qingdao and the mainland requires 30-40 minutes by traditional shipping and is greatly affected by weather conditions, while low-altitude logistics drones can complete the task in just 10 minutes, and operate throughout the year without interruption. Compared with traditional ground logistics, low-altitude logistics has the following significant characteristics:
Efficient and fast
Aircraft such as unmanned aerial vehicles fly at a relatively high speed, significantly reducing the logistics delivery time. Taking emergency material transportation scenarios as an example, low-altitude logistics can complete delivery within several hours, while traditional logistics may take several days.
Flexible scheduling
Low-altitude logistics is not restricted by ground traffic congestion and can flexibly plan routes in three-dimensional space to achieve rapid point-to-point transportation. This makes it highly advantageous in urban distribution, remote area transportation, and other scenarios.
Cost controllable
With the continuous innovation of technology, the operating costs of UAVs and eVTOLs are gradually decreasing. Compared with traditional road and rail transportation, in specific scenarios, low-altitude logistics can effectively reduce transportation costs, especially labor costs and infrastructure construction costs.
