Shein And Sinotrans Sign Strategic MoU To Advance New Energy Vehicle Logistics And Digital Innovation

Shein, a global fashion and lifestyle online retailer, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sinotrans Ltd (Sinotrans) to deepen cooperation across inter-warehouse logistics, with a focus on new energy vehicles (NEVs), charging infrastructure and technology-enabled energy and fleet management platform.

A key area of the partnership will be the implementation of a live tracking portal for the drivers of Shein’s fleet of NEVs that are used in its inter-warehouse logistics in China. This portal is tied to five dedicated NEV charging stations that are operated by Sinotrans and will be used to manage energy and vehicle dispatch data to help NEV drivers and fleet operators better plan charging times and routes. Shein has been steadily increasing its fleet of NEVs across its operations, growing the number of NEVs from 125 in 2025 to around 220 this year, including a number from Sinotrans. Additionally, Sinotrans is in the process of building an additional two charging stations for Shein’s exclusive use.

Traditionally, NEV drivers often rely on their own experience and real-time searches to determine when and where to charge their vehicles. Shein’s platform takes a data-driven approach, using operational information to identify suitable charging windows and match vehicles with available charging points.
