On March 12, Pizhou, a county-level city under the administration of Xuzhou City, became the first in Jiangsu to provide a drone delivery service as the province increases support for the low-altitude economy.

Loaded with fresh produce, the drone took off from the Yuantong International Logistics Industrial Park in Pizhou and landed at a rural express delivery station two kilometers away within 10 minutes. 

Pizhou has complex road conditions since its terrain includes numerous low-lying areas and water bodies. Drone delivery can enhance efficiency to rural towns and significantly reduces the logistics costs for time-sensitive parcels.

Jiangsu’s postal authorities plans to expand drone delivery services to further support the growth of rural e-commerce and rural revitalization.
