Abstract
In 2011, China continued its endeavor in strengthening the construction of integrated transport system. Notably many logistics nodal cities in China pushed forward the construction of logistics parks in an orderly manner; logistics parks (centers) for agricultural cold chains and commercial trade were built in a markedly accelerated manner. Over-all capacity of logistics channels was further enhanced and logistics equipment in use was gradually moving towards the direction of low carbon and automation.
This chapter presents the logistics facilities and technological development in China in 2011 from four aspects: construction of transportation infrastructure, construction of logistics parks and storage facilities, logistics equipment, and logistics informatization and standardization. Section 3.1 analyzes and summarizes the infrastructure construction of highway, railway, water transport and aviation, and discusses the advancement in transportation channel construction from the perspective of integrated transport system. Section 3.2 analyzes the development characteristics of logistics park (center) construction and storage facilities construction in China in 2011. Section 3.3 states the characteristics of production and demand of logistics equipment such as vehicles and storage equipment. Section 3.4 describes the major events and progresses due to the recent actions taken in logistics informatization and standardization.
