The Wuda Green Energy Low-Carbon Logistics Park in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, has officially been put into operation.
On April 14, the Wuda Green Energy Low-Carbon Logistics Park project, located in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, officially began operations. On-site, several new energy heavy trucks orderly entered the park and successfully completed charging and battery swapping operations. With all operational processes smoothly initiated, the project was officially put into use by Wuhai City Xinqiao Logistics Co., Ltd.
The logistics park is situated on the east side of the 110 National Highway in Sandao Kan, Wuda District, and the west side of the Baolan Railway. With a total investment of approximately 700 million yuan, the construction is being carried out in two phases, with comprehensive supporting facilities. Basic infrastructure includes a comprehensive office building, a comprehensive service building, and a maintenance workshop to meet the daily operational needs of the park. Green energy facilities include six heavy truck charging and battery swapping stations, one gas station, one hydrogen refueling station, as well as distributed photovoltaics and a green energy digital information platform. Core functions include a modern bulk storage and trading center and a smart parking lot, catering to both logistics transit and goods trading. Value-added services include plans to introduce an online freight platform, an intelligent queuing system, automotive after-sales services, and supporting commercial complexes and maintenance services.
The integrated operation model of "solar, storage, charging, and swapping" is the biggest highlight of the source-grid-load-storage green energy low-carbon logistics park. Su Xin, General Manager of Wuhai City Xinqiao Logistics Co., Ltd., explained: "We rely on rooftop distributed photovoltaic self-generated green electricity, paired with a supporting energy storage system, which not only reduces the park's electricity costs by 40% but also provides affordable charging and battery swapping services for freight drivers." What’s more noteworthy is that this model is replicable and scalable, setting a demonstration benchmark for logistics parks in Wuhai and even the western Inner Mongolia region, driving the entire logistics industry toward a green and low-carbon transformation.
Walking into the park, the most striking feature is the neatly arranged deep blue photovoltaic panels on the rooftops of buildings and parking lots, shimmering with a soft luster under the sunlight, creating a unique green landscape. It is reported that these photovoltaic panels can save approximately 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, reduce standard coal consumption by about 3,000 tons, and cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 7,200 tons, embodying the green development concept through practical actions and injecting strong momentum into regional carbon reduction. Additionally, the park has specially built a multi-energy complementary microgrid system to achieve efficient interaction between charging and battery swapping stations, distributed power sources, and the load side, providing solid energy support for green and stable operations. Empowering both livelihoods and industries, achieving a win-win development. Besides its green and low-carbon advantages, the park's operation will bring multiple benefits. It will drive employment by gathering logistics, auto repair, catering, accommodation, and other supporting industries, providing hundreds of stable jobs. It will also regulate the market by further integrating regional logistics resources, standardizing logistics market order, and improving logistics efficiency. Looking ahead, after the stable operation of the first phase, the second phase will accelerate the construction of fully enclosed storage, a hydrogen refueling station, and a rail-road intermodal platform, aiming to build a regional logistics hub that ties ecological and social benefits with corporate economic benefits, achieving a win-win outcome.
From green energy to smart logistics, from cost reduction and efficiency improvement to industry empowerment, the launch of the source-grid-load-storage green energy low-carbon logistics park is not only a significant milestone in the transformation and upgrading of Wuhai's logistics industry but also a vivid practice of Inner Mongolia's push for green and low-carbon development.
