FORLAND Delivers 500 Logistics Vehicles to Yunda Express

FORLAND has delivered 500 logistics vehicles to Yunda Express at a handover ceremony held in Weifang, Shandong Province, as the two companies continue to strengthen cooperation in urban delivery operations.

The delivery includes the Linghang M5 new energy truck, Linghang M5 diesel truck, and Linghang G5 new energy truck.

The vehicles will be put into service for same-city transportation, mainly handling parcel transfers from Yunda’s warehouses to local express stations in Weifang. According to Yunda Express, additional deliveries will be made in Zhejiang, Henan and other regions based on future operational needs.

Vehicles Selected Under Stricter Procurement Criteria

As China’s express and freight delivery sector moves toward larger scale, higher efficiency and smarter operations, vehicle procurement decisions are increasingly based on overall operating value rather than basic functionality. Key considerations now include power performance, adaptability to delivery scenarios, intelligent features and total lifecycle costs.

In response to these requirements, FORLAND has continued to upgrade its technologies and expand its product lineup. The company has developed a portfolio designed to cover a wide range of logistics applications, from urban transfer operations to last-mile delivery.

The three models selected by Yunda Express are among the core products in this lineup.

The Linghang M5 electric light truck is equipped with an 83.57 kWh battery supplied by EIK, while the Linghang G5 electric light truck features a 100.46 kWh battery from CATL. Supported by optimized electric systems and an advanced thermal management system, the vehicles are designed to operate reliably in low-temperature conditions and deliver stable driving range in urban use.

The Linghang M5 diesel truck is powered by a Yunnei diesel engine, tailored for frequent stop-and-go operation in city delivery. The model is positioned to balance fuel efficiency with operational reliability.

To better match Yunda’s operational needs, the vehicles were also customized. Adjustments were made to cargo box dimensions and protective structures, while reinforced floor beams and optimized layouts were used to improve load capacity for express freight operations.

Ongoing Cooperation With Express Operators

In addition to Yunda Express, FORLAND has established partnerships with major logistics and express companies including China Post, SF Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, STO Express, J&T Express, and Anneng Logistics.

The company remains a regular supplier to several express operators, including Yunda and YTO. Repeat orders reflect the vehicles’ performance in daily operations.

Expanding Cooperation Beyond Vehicle Supply

Beyond vehicle delivery, FORLAND has expanded its cooperation model to provide broader service support. In 2023, the company established a Strategic Key Account Business Center, offering integrated services covering pre-sales, sales and after-sales support.

Operating under a “city + project” service model, the center provides dedicated support for logistics customers. FORLAND can quickly match vehicle models to customer requirements and complete customized configurations, supporting efficient coordination from demand assessment and vehicle customization to bulk delivery and operational assistance.

Building on this approach, the company is extending cooperation from vehicle sales to long-term ecosystem partnerships. By incorporating logistics customers into its cooperation network, FORLAND aims to promote resource sharing and business collaboration, supporting more stable and long-term relationships.

To date, FORLAND has established ecosystem partnerships with more than 200 companies, including Fotile, Haier and Vatti, across multiple industries.

Adapting to Changes in the Logistics Industry

The logistics industry is facing growing pressure to improve efficiency, control costs and accelerate its transition toward greener operations. As a result, the role of vehicles as core operating assets is evolving.

Procurement priorities are shifting from initial purchase price to total lifecycle cost, from standardized configurations to scenario-based customization, and from one-off transactions to long-term partnerships.

FORLAND said its value-focused customer strategy is designed to address these changes. Through organizational adjustments, enhanced services and ecosystem cooperation, the company aims to strengthen ties with leading logistics operators while supporting sustainable growth on both sides.
