Chinese food delivery company Ele.me has received approval from the Chinese government to be the first to use real-time delivery drones on Shanghai's 17 available routes, which are situated in Jinshan Industrial Park and connect about 100 vendors. Ele.me claimed delivery times will be shortened to around 20 minutes from 30 as the drones will be able to fly across 70% of the original delivery route. There are 17 routes in total, all located in Jinshan Industrial Park in the Shanghai suburbs. The drone is expected to deliver a variety of goods including fresh produce, frozen foods, household items such as toothpaste and toilet paper, and even medical supplies.
