J&T Express's "Double 6" Parcel Volume Hits New High, Surging 83.5% YoY in Southeast Asia

09.06.2026

HONG KONG, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the conclusion of the "Double 6" mid-year shopping festival in Southeast Asia across major e-commerce platforms, global logistics service provider J&T Express delivered an outstanding performance. During the core promotional period, its overall parcel volume surged by 83.5% year-over-year ("YoY") to 213 million parcels, setting new records in core markets including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

During the "Double 6", J&T Express's average daily parcel volume in Southeast Asia reached 35.51 million. On June 2nd, the peak business day, the single-day parcel volume exceeded 37 million. Notably, the Indonesian and Thai markets performed exceptionally well, with cumulative parcel volumes increasing by 112% and 89% YoY, respectively. Leveraging its deeply covered line-haul and last-mile networks, J&T Express swiftly responded to the region-wide surge in parcel volume within a short period, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of its overall network.

To ensure the highly efficient operation of the entire Southeast Asian network during the promotional period, J&T Express proactively advanced infrastructure upgrades, transport capacity reserves, and human resources allocation across various markets ahead of time. In terms of capacity expansion, in addition to newly constructing and upgrading core sorting facilities in markets such as Thailand and the Philippines, J&T Express continued to drive the automated transformation of its operational processes. Automated and specialized sorting equipment were widely deployed at sorting centers and last-mile outlets across multiple Southeast Asian countries. Through the extensive synergy of intelligent equipment, J&T Express achieved a significant improvement in overall network operational efficiency.

In terms of transport capacity and human resources reserves, multiple countries also collaborated to ensure last-mile elasticity. Thailand newly purchased and deployed multiple line-haul and branch-line vehicles; the Philippines planned for an approximate 30% increase in human resources; and Vietnam established a three-tier flexible support team covering operations, dispatching, and comprehensive support, capable of supporting an additional daily capacity of approximately 120,000 parcels during the peak season.

In terms of technological empowerment, J&T Indonesia fully introduced an AI-based digital and intelligent system to monitor parcel flows in real time, ensuring the smooth distribution and circulation of massive parcel volumes during the promotional period. Concurrently, this system maintained close coordination with frontline operation teams, helping them efficiently address unexpected situations such as extreme weather or natural disasters, ensuring smooth and highly efficient parcel circulation during the peak season.

Regarding deepening localized operations and employee care, J&T Express also took several pragmatic measures. For key merchants, J&T Vietnam provided special support by extending the door-to-door pickup time by two hours, helping merchants improve their shipping rates and reducing order delays caused by missed pickups. In Thailand, focusing on the growth needs of small and medium-sized merchants, J&T Express launched a "Joint Advertising" initiative, covering all 38 MRT stations across Bangkok and leveraging 1,200 electronic screens on 54 trains to boost merchant exposure. Furthermore, in response to the persistent high temperatures in Thailand, major sorting centers were regularly equipped with cooling facilities, and free beverages were provided to all frontline staff during the final sprint of the peak season, demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding peak operations with practical actions.

The successful fulfillment during the "Double 6" shopping festival once again validates J&T Express's profound accumulation and leading position in the Southeast Asian market. Through region-wide network synergy, regular infrastructure upgrades, the application of cutting-edge AI technologies, and refined localized operations, J&T Express not only successfully handled the mid-year traffic surge but also provided stable, swift, and reliable logistics guarantees for e-commerce platforms, merchants, and consumers. Looking ahead, J&T Express will continue to deepen its presence in the Southeast Asian market, continuously increase investments in global logistics infrastructure construction and digital transformation, and commit to comprehensively empowering and driving the prosperity of the regional e-commerce ecosystem through a constantly optimized global intelligent logistics network.

AmiGo-Projekt: Autonome Postautos sollen ab 2027 fahrerlos fahren

15.06.2026

Postauto treibt den Einsatz autonomer Fahrzeuge in der Ostschweiz voran und bereitet nach eigenen Angaben Europas grösstes Robo-Taxi-Netz vor. Das Bundesamt für Strassen (Astra) hat dem Unternehmen eine Ausnahmebewilligung erteilt, damit die speziell ausgerüsteten E-Autos im St. Galler Rheintal sowie in den Kantonen Appenzell Ausserrhoden und Appenzell Innerrhoden automatisch verkehren dürfen. Seit dem 1. Juni sind die Fahrzeuge in einem rund 80 Quadratkilometer grossen Gebiet unterwegs – vorerst noch zu Testzwecken und mit Sicherheitsfahrerinnen und -fahrern an Bord.

Herzstück des Projekts ist die Flotte von bis zu 25 sogenannten "AmiGo"-Fahrzeugen, die im Endausbau mit Automatisierungsgrad Level 4 fahren sollen. Postauto kooperiert dafür mit Apollo Go, der Robotaxi-Sparte des chinesischen Technologiekonzerns Baidu. Die Fahrzeuge werden im typischen Postauto-Gelb lackiert und elektrisch betrieben. Während der Testphase dürfen die Sicherheitsfahrer ihre Hände vom Lenkrad nehmen; sie können jedoch jederzeit eingreifen, wenn die Situation es erfordert – etwa an unübersichtlichen Verzweigungen oder bei forsch auftretendem Gegenverkehr.

Im Alltagstest auf einer festgelegten Route in Altstätten (SG) zeigt sich das System laut Projektbeteiligten bereits weitgehend stabil, auch wenn der Fahrkomfort in Kurven noch nicht an einen menschlichen Chauffeur heranreicht. Auffällig ist das sehr defensive Verhalten, etwa vor Fussgängerstreifen, wo das Fahrzeug früh abbremst, selbst wenn sich Personen noch in einiger Entfernung befinden. Gesteuert wird der Betrieb zusätzlich aus einer Leitstelle, in der Operatorinnen und Operatoren die Fahrten überwachen und bei Bedarf aus der Ferne eingreifen können.

Der reguläre Betrieb mit fahrerlosen Fahrzeugen ist ab 2027 vorgesehen. Postauto plant, dass Fahrgäste in der Region ihre autonome Fahrt dann probeweise per App buchen können. Astra-Direktor Jürg Röthlisberger sieht im automatisierten Fahren eine grosse Chance und spricht dem Projekt das Potenzial eines "Gamechangers" zu. Es ist nicht der erste Versuch mit selbstfahrenden Fahrzeugen in der Schweiz, aber nach Umfang und Einsatzgebiet der bislang weitreichendste. Die Technologie soll schrittweise verfeinert und insbesondere für ländliche Regionen erprobt werden, in denen flexible, bedarfsgesteuerte Angebote die bestehende Grunderschliessung ergänzen könnten.
