Didi Launches Pet Transportation Service in Seven Chinese Cities
Didi Express, the delivery subsidiary of Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi, has officially launched a specialized pet transportation service across seven major cities in China, including Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Chongqing. This new initiative is designed to address logistical challenges faced by both individual pet owners and pet-related businesses by providing a professional and reliable transport alternative. To accommodate pets of varying sizes, the service offers a diverse range of vehicle options, spanning from motorcycles to cargo vans. Since late 2024, Didi has strategically partnered with approximately 1,200 pet-related businesses to expand its service network and help these enterprises reduce labor costs. Previously, these businesses were responsible for handling their own pet pickups, which limited their operational reach. With the new service, they can now efficiently serve customers located up to 15 kilometers away. This expansion highlights Didi's continued effort to diversify its logistics offerings and capture niche market segments within the growing pet economy in China.
