What happened
KEX Express (Thailand) and J&T Express Thailand deploy artificial intelligence and route optimisation to reduce energy waste and improve fleet efficiency. Amid volatile fuel prices, these delivery firms aim to maintain service stability for the e-commerce sector. J&T's technology-driven platforms analyse driver behaviour, monitor engine idling for corrective action, and use AI to match vehicle types to shipment volumes, optimising fuel use. KEX focuses on network optimisation and route planning.
Why it matters
Logistics procurement teams face immediate pressure to integrate AI-driven optimisation, as KEX Express and J&T Express demonstrate direct cost reduction mechanisms. AI platforms analysing driver behaviour and matching vehicle types to workload directly reduce fuel consumption, a critical metric amidst volatile energy prices. This shifts the operational requirement for fleet management and efficiency towards data-driven resource allocation, moving beyond traditional route planning.
