Take the Distribution center in Paris, France as an example. The center covers an area of nearly 20,000 square meters and adopts fully automated sorting mode and professional sorting equipment, as well as self-developed intelligent distribution system. It is expected that the cost of sorting will be reduced by more than 50%, and it can handle more than 200,000 cross-border small bags and about 30,000 cross-border large bags on an average day.
"The current peak sorting capacity of the four distribution centres in Spain, France, Germany and Italy combined is around 500,000 packages per day. For large cross-border packages, the peak capacity is 3,000 pieces per hour." Economists said.
In Russia, Cainiao has also built a first-kilometer, trunk and regional distribution network in addition to a distribution center. After the distribution center goes online, the overall local infrastructure network of Cainiao network will also take shape.

Xiong wei said that cross-border parcels destined for Eastern Europe, for example, will be collected and transported to zhengzhou and other airports, and then flown to Budapest, where they will enter the distribution center for sorting. The parcels will be transported to neighboring countries via Cainiao's European Caban to complete the last kilometer of distribution. After the launch of Budapest Distribution Center, cainiao will further shorten logistics timeliness and improve operation efficiency by opening direct cargo flight routes and digital customs clearance system. "From the arrival of the local flight to the customs clearance of the warehouse, the timeliness of daily operation of the warehouse will be increased by 19%, and this period will be increased by 31% during Double 11."

In addition, cainiao's overseas warehouse in Lodz, Poland, was also officially launched recently. The planned capacity of the overseas warehouse will reach 10,000 orders per day, and it is expected to reach 6,000 orders per day before "Double 11".
"Relying on cainiao's global logistics network strengths and resource integration capabilities, we work with partners in various countries to build a one-stop, full-link logistics system, accelerate local infrastructure connectivity, promote the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, and continue to boost export trade and logistics development. We hope to further leverage the advantages of Cainiao's global parcel network to help more Chinese goods go overseas and provide better services, especially during the 'Double 11' period, so that both merchants and overseas consumers can feel the acceleration of cross-border logistics." "At present, cainiao's domestic distribution center has a peak processing capacity of more than 10 million orders, and its cross-border parcel network service covers more than 200 cities across China, and it has established more than 50 collection warehouses in major cities across the country," Xiong said.
