"Technology is having a profound impact on the industry. Based on IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence, the smart fleet model is fundamentally changing the way the industry operates and is forming a new generation of logistics infrastructure with improved efficiency," said Zhai Xuehun, founder and chief executive officer of G7.
Serving more than 60,000 customers and over 800,000 commercial vehicles, G7 is now one of the world's largest integrated fleet management platforms.
