Through technological innovation and scenario adaptation, driverless refrigerated delivery vehicles have demonstrated significant potential in environmental protection, energy conservation, and cost reduction in urban cold chain distribution. Although challenges such as technological maturity and improvement of regulations still need to be overcome, as an important part of smart logistics, they are expected to promote the upgrading of the cold chain industry towards efficiency and green development in the future. Enterprises can, based on their own needs, give priority to conducting pilot projects in policy-supported regions and gradually explore paths for large-scale application.
