Recently, Meituan has rolled out nighttime delivery services for its drones across several routes in Shenzhen. This initiative represents China's first-ever application of drone technology for nighttime instant retail delivery, ushering in a new era of 24/7 operations for the country's low-altitude economy. Since commencing regular operations in Shenzhen in 2021, Meituan's drones have successfully fulfilled over 600,000 food delivery orders, achieving nearly double the delivery efficiency compared to traditional means. Nighttime delivery has long posed a challenge in the instant retail sector, and drone technology offers an effective solution. Initially, the service is being trialed in park areas within Shenzhen, including Talent Park, and will operate daily until 8 PM. To ensure the safety of nighttime flights, Meituan has upgraded its in-house drone navigation and positioning systems. This strategic move not only enhances user convenience but also opens up new avenues for the growth of the low-altitude economy. Looking ahead, Meituan plans to ramp up investment to further expand its service offerings.
