JD Logistics has officially launched its Lhasa–Xining railway freight train, which operates along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The one-way journey takes 20.5 hours and primarily transports Tibetan specialty products and consumer goods. Following the launch, the average delivery time for express parcels entering and leaving Tibet has been shortened by two days, with outbound shipments from Tibet now eligible for next-day delivery in the fastest cases. This train adds stable trunk-line capacity, can accommodate transportation demand during major promotional periods, helps Tibetan specialty agricultural products reach the national market more quickly, and improves the efficiency of emergency relief material transportation. In parallel, JD Logistics has introduced an "air-to-ground" service combining air transport from Tibet to Chengdu with ground transport from Chengdu to onward destinations. This service is priced more than 50% lower than full air transport and offers significantly better timeliness than full ground transport. At present, JD Logistics' smart warehousing and distribution network in Tibet has been further enhanced: the Lhasa smart warehouse is equipped with more than 100 self-developed handling robots, achieving picking efficiency nearly three times that of manual work; the Nyingchi front-position smart warehouse, put into use this year, supports 211 limited-time delivery in the main urban area, making it convenient for local agricultural specialty products to be stocked nearby and shipped directly nationwide. Currently, JD Logistics operates more than 700 railway transport routes on a regular basis, and railway transport is becoming an important component of its trunk-line capacity.
