JUST IN: Amazon is now delivering packages up to 200mph on bullet trains. ๐๐ฆ
Japan's world-class Shinkansen network (famous for being punctual) is now being used for our middle-mile deliveries. Packages are transported using non-passenger space on three routes, connecting Amazon operations in the Greater Tokyo Area with facilities across central and northern Japan. Itโs another step toward faster, more reliable deliveries to customers across Japan.
This is just the latest example of Amazon delivering differently to get packages to customers quickly. Across the globe, we've embraced delivery methods tailored to the unique needs of the communities we serveโfrom e-cargo bikes, to delivery drones, to horse-drawn carriages, and more.
