Didi Express, the delivery arm of Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi, has launched a pet-specific transport service in seven cities, including Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Chongqing. The service aims to address transportation challenges faced by pet owners and businesses by offering a professional, reliable alternative. The company offers multiple vehicle types, from motorcycles to cargo vans, to accommodate pets of all sizes. Since late 2024, Didi has partnered with 1,200 pet-related businesses, expanding their service range and cutting labor costs. Previously, businesses handled pet pickups themselves, but now they can reach customers up to 15 kilometers away through the service.
