Amazon's delivery speed and logistics costs have always been its killer features.

Amazon Logistics Upgrades Again, New Fleet Launched Secretly! Recently, Amazon has made another "big move" in its same-day delivery service - launching a new delivery fleet!

You may have seen those boxy Kia Souls cruising the streets of Seattle and Dallas.

That’s right, these vehicles are part of Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner Program (DSP), marking another important step forward for Amazon in logistics.

In fact, Amazon has expanded its logistics network by outsourcing driver recruitment and management as early as six years ago, but the introduction of a new fleet this time will reduce its dependence on the gig economy company Flex and give Amazon more control over the logistics process.

In other words, Amazon is taking this step to further reduce logistics costs , which is undoubtedly a smart decision, especially at a time when e-commerce demand is declining and logistics network costs are high.

Amazon’s logistics ambitions

By moving Kia's fleet business from Flex to DSP, Amazon can not only ship from next-day delivery warehouses closer to urban customers, but also simplify the package delivery process.

These changes will not only improve delivery efficiency, but also help Amazon further reduce costs.

In the future, Amazon plans to double the number of these vehicles! In addition, DSP is technically an independent enterprise and can directly employ drivers, which is a win-win situation for Amazon.

Amazon has always been at the forefront of building a global logistics network, especially in the "last mile" delivery.

For example, in big cities like New York, London, and Paris, due to traffic congestion and parking difficulties, Amazon has launched bicycle delivery, walking delivery, and Hub Delivery programs (🤣Is walking delivery okay?)

These measures not only enable flexible response to complex urban environments, but also significantly improve delivery efficiency.

Global expansion and logistics network upgrade

It can be foreseen that Amazon will continue to accelerate the layout of its global logistics network in the future and continuously strengthen its market advantages.

Whether it's introducing new fleets or expanding its global network, Amazon is proving its dominance in logistics.

💬Summary: Amazon's new measures not only make great efforts in logistics costs, but also have a qualitative leap in delivery efficiency. In the future, we will see a stronger and faster Amazon logistics system, bringing consumers a more extreme shopping experience.
