The Inner Mongolia Department of Transportation on May 28 issued the "Action Plan to Cultivate and Strengthen Leading Modern Transportation and Logistics Enterprises," with the goals of having over 50 leading modern transportation and logistics enterprises in Inner Mongolia by 2026 and reducing logistics costs per unit of goods turnover by 6 percent.

The action plan outlines strategies to achieve this target by expanding and strengthening existing transportation and logistics enterprises, accelerating the development of new high-quality productivity transportation and logistics enterprises, and promoting the development of integrated supply chain transportation and logistics enterprises covering railways, highways, civil aviation, and postal express.

Emphasizing development in terms of scale, intensification, digitization, greenification, and networking, the plan proposes 30 supportive policies and measures across five areas to nurture a number of leading modern transportation and logistics enterprises with low operating costs, high efficiency, strong service capabilities, excellent quality, advanced technological models, and renowned service brands.

This initiative aims to drive down costs and enhance efficiency for market entities in the transportation and logistics sector, thereby reducing overall logistics costs across society.

The plan also sets specific requirements for leading modern transportation and logistics enterprises, mandating a certain scale, strong capabilities in technological innovation, significant industry influence, sustainable development capacity, and high growth potential.

These enterprises are expected to be at the forefront in terms of digitization, greenification, and service quality, actively providing technical services and solutions to small and micro-sized logistics enterprises and leading the industry towards high-quality development.
