China Railway Materials Group Corporation (CRM), a subsidiary of China Logistics Group Co., Ltd. (China Logistics), has launched its Zero-Carbon Integrated Logistics Park project in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
Powered by rooftop solar panels, the park will generate its own electricity. In addition, the site features a new energy heavy-duty truck battery swapping station, offering fast and efficient battery replacement services for new energy vehicles (NEVs) involved in transportation.

The park spans 118,000 square meters and is designed as a comprehensive hub integrating solar power generation, energy storage, charging, warehousing, transportation and distribution. The park is equipped with photovoltaic energy storage systems, a battery swapping station for heavy-duty NEVs, a lithium battery Class C2 warehouse and road transportation qualifications. It also meets the foundational requirements for future lithium battery railway transport and combined road-rail intermodal logistics.
The park’s warehouse facilities have already been completed, and the rooftop solar installations are expected to be finished by 2025. Once operational, the park will be able to fully sustain its energy needs through self-generated power.
A zero-carbon smart park incorporates carbon-neutral principles across its planning, construction, management and operations. Through digital integration of energy-saving, emission reduction, carbon capture and carbon offset initiatives, the park aims to achieve low-carbon industrial development, green energy transitions, shared infrastructure and circular resource utilization, ultimately balancing carbon emissions with carbon absorption within the park.
Currently, the majority of carbon emissions in logistics parks stem from vehicle transportation. Promoting the use of new energy heavy-duty trucks significantly reduces these emissions.
