Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express delivery vehicles, specifically an intelligent express delivery vehicle for door-to-door delivery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, online shopping has gradually become a part of people's daily lives. Statistics show that the number of online shoppers has grown exponentially in recent years, with online and offline businesses continuously expanding, driving the rapid development of the global e-commerce industry. However, with the surge in e-commerce volume, logistics and delivery, especially the "last mile" delivery problem, has become a major bottleneck in the development of the e-commerce industry. The last mile delivery problem refers to the final distance from the distribution center or warehouse to the consumer. This process typically takes place in various urban communities or rural areas. Due to factors such as geographical location, traffic conditions, and the volume of deliveries, last-mile delivery often faces numerous challenges, including high costs, low efficiency, and difficulty in efficient management.

[0003] Currently, many e-commerce companies rely on traditional courier delivery models to complete this process. While this method ensures timely delivery to consumers, it is relatively expensive, especially with rising delivery personnel and transportation costs, making logistics costs a major issue that companies must address. Furthermore, due to increasing labor costs and urban traffic congestion, courier delivery faces problems such as inefficiency, poor timeliness, and resource waste.

[0004] Limitations of courier delivery:

[0005] High costs: With the continuous rise in labor costs, the wages of couriers, as well as transportation and equipment costs, are constantly increasing, which directly leads to an increase in delivery costs.

[0006] Low efficiency: Delivery personnel need to rely on manual methods to deliver orders one by one, especially in crowded cities or remote areas, which results in low delivery efficiency, longer delivery times, and decreased customer satisfaction.

[0007] Poor sustainability: With changes in population structure and the acceleration of urbanization, the shortage of delivery personnel is becoming increasingly serious, making it difficult to meet the continuously growing e-commerce demand.

[0008] Therefore, how to reduce costs while ensuring delivery efficiency has become a core issue facing e-commerce logistics. To break through this bottleneck, more and more e-commerce companies and logistics companies are exploring new models of intelligent logistics and automated delivery. These emerging technologies include driverless vehicles, drones, automated warehousing, and intelligent delivery robots, aiming to solve the last-mile problem, improve delivery efficiency, and reduce labor costs.

[0009] However, existing automated delivery vehicles still have some design problems. First, many vehicles lack strong adaptability and cannot cope with complex terrain or environmental changes. Second, they cannot cooperate and interconnect with drones and other technologies to form a complete intelligent logistics ecosystem. Utility Model Content
