The Seoul Metropolitan Government will experiment with transforming gas stations into logistics hubs of the future.
Construction will begin in December and is expected to be completed by early next year.
There is a higher demand for distribution due to the growing popularity of online transactions and the diversification of logistics channels.
However, the city’s warehouses and logistics complexes only account for 6 percent of those in Gyeonggi Province.
Seoul responded by collaborating with GS Caltex Corp. to turn a gas station in Seocho District into an experimental platform for a future logistics hub.
The gas station will have a Smart Micro-fulfillment Center (MFC), a 120 square-meter unmanned, automated storage facility.
Around 3,600 shipments will be sent out each day by the Smart MFC, which will be operated by five to six robots. Drones will deliver the packages.
To test out short-range drone deliveries, the city will erect a drone station on the gas station's rooftop.
