The association of express delivery companies said that research and development will start shortly to standardise express delivery vans in China. The move is designed to increase vehicle recognition and facilitate compliance with regulations. China Transport Newspaper reported that this is part of a national plan to develop the logistics sector, one of the 10 major industries that China wants to focus on in the next 10 years. Standardising the vans will to some extent help companies to increase national coverage, said the newspaper.
