On November 10th, the National Development and Reform Commission, National Data Administration, Cyberspace Administration of China, Ministry of Transport and other ten departments released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Open and Interconnected Logistics Data to Effectively Reduce Logistics Costs in the Whole Society" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan"), which focuses on multiple dimensions such as consolidating the foundation of open and interconnected logistics data, promoting open and interconnected logistics public data, and promoting the market-oriented circulation and utilization of enterprise logistics data. It outlines a clear path to solve the problem of "information silos" in the industry and reduce logistics costs in the whole society. Zhou Zhicheng, Director of the Research Office of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, stated that the Implementation Plan focuses on the sharing and development of public data resources among departments and units such as highways, railways, waterways, aviation, and customs. With the National Logistics Public Data Sharing Open List as an important lever, it promotes the formation of a dynamic interconnection mechanism for logistics data resources between departments, unleashes the potential of logistics data industry empowerment, and provides strong support for reducing logistics costs throughout society and building a unified national market. The Implementation Plan specifies that for logistics public data that has already been centrally managed by relevant national departments, efforts will be made to increase "overall to overall" sharing, improve information update and maintenance mechanisms, and enhance the quality and efficiency of logistics public data sharing. Increase the openness of logistics public data such as infrastructure, transportation capacity, and prices. In terms of data management and usage, the Implementation Plan proposes to implement classified and graded management of logistics public data, standardize data authorization operations, and expand the supply of key data such as road networks, trajectories, enterprises, and personnel. Among them, logistics public data used for public governance and public welfare undertakings will be conditionally and free of charge for use; Data products and services used for industrial development and industry growth will be subject to government guided pricing management in accordance with regulations, with reasonable pricing based on operating costs and market demand, effectively reducing social data costs. In addition, relevant departments will strengthen the tracking supervision and information disclosure of data authorization operations to strictly prevent data violations. The "National Logistics Public Data Sharing and Opening List (2025)" released simultaneously further clarifies the specific scope of data opening. The list covers key information such as logistics enterprise data, logistics infrastructure data, transportation capacity data, schedule plans, carrier trajectory status, manifest and waybill information, employee registration data, customs clearance status, port operation statistics data, road flow, etc. It will be regularly published according to the prescribed frequency to provide clear basis for the orderly opening of data. Breaking through the data bottleneck of multimodal transportation, the status of carrier trajectories such as ship trajectories, vehicle trajectories, and aircraft trajectories, as well as the sharing and openness of manifest and waybill information such as air waybills, sea waybills, and railway waybills, is conducive to the full traceability of goods, reliable circulation of documents, and the acceleration of the implementation of the "one document system" and "one box system" in multimodal transportation. ”Zhou Zhicheng said. In addition to the basic information listed above, the Implementation Plan also focuses on promoting the market-oriented circulation and utilization of enterprise logistics data. Relying on the construction of national logistics hubs, comprehensive freight hubs, etc., we will strengthen the implementation of logistics data standards and promote the integration and sharing of regional logistics data. Support logistics backbone enterprises, platform enterprises, and others to jointly build a trusted data space in the logistics industry, establish and improve mechanisms for enterprise data collection, extraction, application, and protection, and promote the trusted circulation and collaborative utilization of logistics data. For example, encourage enterprises to develop diversified logistics data products and services for application scenarios such as logistics tracking, customs coordination, smart cloud warehouses, and joint distribution, as well as for professional logistics development needs such as cold chain, medicine, tobacco, hazardous chemicals, and military civilian integration. This will promote efficient connection between transportation, warehousing, distribution, customs clearance, and other links, and improve the efficiency of logistics resource allocation. Support enterprises with conditions to connect cross-border data links, solve the problem of international logistics information asymmetry, and provide strong support for cross-border commercial activities. Data fusion applications have also become a key direction. The Implementation Plan proposes to promote the integration of multi-source data such as logistics data and industrial data, providing reference for the planning and construction of infrastructure such as energy, transportation, and logistics, and promoting structural cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Encourage logistics enterprises to deepen cross industry data integration and utilization in industries such as intelligent manufacturing, modern agriculture, and commercial circulation, and enhance their digital supply chain integration service capabilities. In addition, we will deepen the application of logistics data in the financial field, optimize financing, insurance and other product services, help solve the problems of difficult and expensive financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, and reduce business risks.
