Hong Kong, China, May 07, 2025 — New Century Logistics (BVI) Limited (“New Century”), a leading Hong Kong-based logistics solutions provider, announced on May 1, 2025, a strategic alliance with Soradynamics Inc, a Japanese advanced technology firm. The partnership will focus on developing and implementing an innovative in-vehicle drone logistics system, known as the “Micro-Hub System,” to transform last-mile delivery in the United States. This collaboration seeks to alleviate the key issues of high last-mile delivery costs and labor shortages in the U.S. logistics sector by leveraging technology to drive greater efficiency.
Leveraging Technology to Transform the Industry and Address Key Logistics Challenges
Soradynamics Inc. estimates that last-mile delivery expenses account for nearly 30% of total logistics costs in the United States, while the shortage of truck drivers continues to rise, exceeding 80,000 in 2023. New Century’s new Micro-Hub System incorporates vehicle-mounted drone nests, six-axis robot automatic battery swapping, and cargo handling technology to achieve complete automation and intelligence throughout the logistics chain. The system’s modular design allows for quick deployment without significant vehicle modifications, lowering the initial investment required for small and medium-sized logistics companies.
Strong Collaboration to Accelerate Technology Implementation
Soradynamics Inc., a leader in drone solutions in Japan, has supplied core technology solutions to organizations such as the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan, and SoftBank Corp. This collaboration will combine New Century’s global logistics network with Soradynamics’ modular technology strengths.
Develop systems with the following functions:
Intelligent UAV nest design: support automatic take-off and landing of UAV, and seamlessly integrate with the vehicle through sliding structure;
Six-axis robot cooperative operation: realize automatic battery replacement and cargo loading of UAV, reduce the dependence on manual;
Multi-robot collaboration and scalability: support multiple drones to work at the same time.
Improved Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness to Enable Sustainable Growth
According to Soradynamics Inc., the Micro-Hub System can reduce last-mile delivery costs by more than 50% per kilometer, lower customer complaint rates by more than 80%, and increase order processing capacity by more than 2.5 times.
Ngan Ching Shun, CEO of New Century, stated: “The in-vehicle drone system is ideally suited for small and medium-sized logistics companies due to its low initial investment and high scalability. It also aligns with New Century’s need for rapid and flexible deployment in the U.S. and global markets. This collaboration represents not only a technological advancement but also an investment in the logistics industry’s future. We believe that through intelligent solutions and careful evaluation, New Century will redefine efficient and sustainable logistics networks.”
Hirotaka Kuroki, Director of Soradynamics Inc., emphasized: “The partnership with New Century reflects our shared vision for technology implementation. Our system will enable our customers to respond swiftly to demand in complex environments and gain a competitive advantage in the market.”
Expand the Service Network and Reach New Markets
The Micro-Hub System deployment will enable New Century to overcome geographical limitations, serving remote and suburban markets that traditional vehicles struggle to reach efficiently, with an expanded coverage radius of up to 40KM. This addresses the urgent need for fast and economical delivery in these areas. The system can also seamlessly integrate with existing logistics infrastructure, providing flexible support for high-frequency delivery scenarios such as e-commerce and healthcare.
