联邦快递公司(纽约所代码:FDX)和 Nuro 宣布了一项多年、多阶段的协议,以在联邦快递业务中测试 Nuro 的下一代自动送货车。联邦快递与 Nuro 之间的合作于 4 月启动,在休斯顿地区开展了一项试点计划。该试点标志着 Nuro 扩展到包裹物流,并使联邦快递有机会探索道路自动驾驶汽车物流的各种用例,包括多站和基于预约的交付。Nuro 试点是 FedEx 自主当日和交付设备组合的成员。
电子商务的指数级增长加速了供应链各个阶段对可靠、自主解决方案的需求。FedEx 相信,随着公司 570,000 多名团队成员继续推动世界向前发展,持续的创新和自动化将提高他们的安全性、效率和生产力。
“联邦快递建立在创新之上,它仍然是我们文化和业务战略不可或缺的一部分”联邦快递公司先进技术和创新副总裁 Rebecca Yeung 说。“我们很高兴能与 Nuro 这样的者合作,因为我们将继续探索在我们的运营中使用自主技术。
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and Nuro announce a multi-year, multi-phase agreement to test Nuro’s next-generation autonomous delivery vehicle within FedEx operations. The collaboration between FedEx and Nuro launched in April with a pilot program across the Houston area. This pilot marks Nuro’s expansion into parcel logistics and allows FedEx the opportunity to explore various use cases for on-road autonomous vehicle logistics, including multi-stop and appointment-based deliveries. The Nuro pilot is the latest addition to the FedEx portfolio of autonomous same-day and specialty delivery devices.
The exponential growth of e-commerce has accelerated the demand for reliable, autonomous solutions throughout all stages of the supply chain. FedEx believes that continued innovation and automation will improve safety, efficiency, and productivity for the company’s more than 570,000 team members as they continue to move the world forward.
“FedEx was built on innovation, and it continues to be an integral part of our culture and business strategy,” said Rebecca Yeung, vice president, advanced technology and innovation, FedEx Corporation. “We are excited to collaborate with an industry leader like Nuro as we continue to explore the use of autonomous technologies within our operations.”
