The package sorting and picking robots at the centre can operate without light, said Duan Yanjian from JD Logistics, adding that they can save 2,283 kWh per minute, roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of an average household within one-and-a-half years.
The residual emissions of the smart logistics center are offset by purchasing the China Certified Emissions Reductions (CCER).
JD Logistics has deployed about 20,000 new energy vehicles in more than 50 cities around the country. Combined with clean energy charging infrastructures, they are estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 400,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to the amount absorbed by 20 million trees each year, offickal Chinese media reported.
