Viettel launches logistics center in Da Nang, featuring autonomous robots

These autonomous robots, together with an automatic sorting system and a digital management platform, help cut order processing times by 33 percent compared with conventional operations.

Spanning more than 8.6 hectares, the facility is designed to serve as a major logistics hub connecting the flow of goods across the Central and Central Highlands regions with domestic and international markets.

The center features some 39,300 square meters of warehouse space and supporting infrastructure.

It integrates seven key functional areas covering the entire logistics value chain, including warehousing, order fulfilment, cargo consolidation, multimodal transport coordination, import-export logistics and customs connectivity, value-added services, e-commerce logistics, and digital operations management.

This integrated model enables businesses to access end-to-end logistics services from a single provider without having to invest independently in warehouses, personnel or operational systems.

Connected data also allow customers to monitor the status of their goods throughout the logistics process.

Also, the facility incorporates solar energy as part of its efforts to promote a more sustainable logistics model.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Lieutenant General Tao Duc Thang, chairman and CEO of Viettel, recalled the direction set by Party and state leaders to shift from a service-oriented approach to logistics development toward building national logistics capabilities, with the goal of positioning Vietnam as a key logistics hub in the region and the world.

Investment in logistics is not merely investment in infrastructure and services, but also in national competitiveness and long-term development, he said.

“With this understanding, the timely completion and commissioning of the Viettel Da Nang Logistics Center represents a concrete step by Viettel toward implementing the Party and state policies and strategic orientations,” he stressed.

“The project will help strengthen regional connectivity, facilitate the movement of goods and create fresh momentum for development in Da Nang, the central region and the country as a whole.”

Enhancing Da Nang’s appeal to investors

According to Viettel Post, the addition of a major logistics hub in the central region will allow goods travelling along the North-South route to be sorted and transferred directly in Da Nang, reducing transportation time by up to six hours.

Speaking at the event, Nguyen Manh Hung, chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, said the project would provide the city with an important additional advantage in attracting investment and supporting manufacturing and commercial activities.

“When firms have better access to logistics services, investment efficiency improves, supply chains operate more smoothly and the local economy gains greater room for growth,” he said.

“These are the benefits the city expects from this project.”
