This initiative aims to offer Hong Kong riders the opportunity to “earn flexibly, accept orders freely, enjoy stable order volumes, and receive generous rewards,” fostering a mutual beneficial ecosystem.

SF Intra-city has introduced a range of equipment for Hong Kong riders featuring the “SoFast” logo, including T-shirts, vests, hand carry cases, backpacks, sun protection clothing, and rain gear. Currently, the first batch of registered riders will receive “SoFast” basic gear (T-shirt or vest) for free, and those who become pioneer riders would have the chance of receiving the  full “SoFast” gear set for free.

In recent years, the on-demand delivery market in mainland China has experienced rapid development. According to data from iResearch, the market size of on-demand delivery industry in mainland China is expected to maintain high growth from 2023 to 2028, and is projected to RMB 810 billion by 2028. Data from the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department shows that revenue from local courier activities business in Hong Kong recorded a rapid growth of 116% to HKD 2,253 million during 2012 to 2020. This indicates significant room for penetration and commercial development in Hong Kong’s on-demand delivery market in the future.

The expansion of SF Intra-city’s on-demand delivery business to the Hong Kong market marks an important milestone for the Group in its overseas expansion development. Last year, the Group’s business continued to grow healthily, pioneering the industry in achieving profitability, fully demonstrating the release of the Gorup’s economies of scale and network effects in the mainland business. Moreover, the Group’s differentiated services attracted high-value orders while technology-driven comprehensive co-ordination and scheduling has boosted the efficiency of the delivery network. The continuous measures to refine management and improve operational quality have enhanced the efficiency of resource input-output.

The Group’s business integration in various markets in mainland China, including food delivery, instant retail, personal services and last-mile delivery have unlocked more exciting business opportunities, which will lead to a more even distribution of orders. This has driven improvements in the operational efficiency of riders around-the-clock, allowing the Group to increase business scale and rider order density.

SF Intra-city will strive to leverage its extensive and successful experience in on-demand delivery from the mainland China market, along with its leading technology and solutions, to offer high-quality on-demand delivery services to Hong Kong users. The third-party multi-scenario business model, proven in the mainland China market, is expected to be effectively applied in Hong Kong. By partnering with various e-commerce platforms and new retail brands, SF Intra-city will bring more momentum and growth opportunities to Hong Kong’s on-demand delivery market.

As the largest third-party on-demand delivery platform in China, SF Intra-city is actively exploring overseas expansion to find new growth opportunities. Entering the Hong Kong market will help SF Intra-city validate its business model in international markets, aiding the Group in discovering more opportunities abroad in the future. As SF Intra-city strives to fulfill its mission of “letting more people enjoy a close and beautiful life,” the Group looks forward to steady progress, high-quality growth, and delivering increased value to shareholders and investors.

Delta Development Team and The Good Drone Company Awarded U.S. Army Contract for Aerial Blood Delivery

Published

By

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Delta Development Team (DDT), a leader in prehospital blood storage and cold chain technology, and The Good Drone Company (GDC) have been awarded a U.S. Army contract to develop a drone-based blood delivery capability for the Army Blood Link (ABL) program.

The program is part of the broader Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP), which supplies blood products to U.S. military forces worldwide. Army Blood Link is designed to support battlefield medical logistics through rapid, temperature-controlled delivery of lifesaving blood products to the field, providing an additional resupply option when traditional ground transportation is unavailable, delayed, or unsafe. Under the contract, The Good Drone Company will provide two U.S.-built prototypes of its hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) cargo drone, each designed to transport up to six units of blood, while DDT will provide the temperature-controlled storage capability through its Delta ICE 2L Smart Blood Cooler.

The companies are combining commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies to create a U.S.-sourced aerial blood delivery system capable of transporting blood directly to the point of need.

To meet ABL program requirements, DDT will supply six Delta ICE 2L Smart Blood Coolers, each designed to maintain two units of blood within the required temperature range for three hours of aerial delivery in high-humidity environments with ambient temperatures ranging from 15°F to 120°F. Built-in temperature monitoring and data recording, along with Bluetooth and cellular connectivity, support cold-chain oversight and blood accountability. The program extends DDT’s blood storage and monitoring capabilities into aerial delivery.

“Getting blood to the point of need is only part of the challenge. It must also remain within the required temperature range throughout the journey,” said Montgomery Leija, CEO of Delta Development Team. “This program brings DDT’s experience in blood storage and cold chain management into a new operational environment, taking the blood supply chain from the ground to the air.”

The prototype system is designed to deliver blood within 10 meters of a designated target during both day and night operations. It will feature a communications range of up to 30 miles and semi-autonomous waypoint navigation. It is intended for single-person operation with minimal training and is built on GDC’s existing commercial cargo drone technology to accelerate development and fielding while meeting U.S.-sourcing requirements.

“We have seen strong interest in middle-mile drones in emerging markets for some time, from both public and private sector customers spanning healthcare to third-party logistics,” said Jake Vander Ploeg, CEO of The Good Drone Company. “This program is a great example of how the military is adopting commercial technology like our cargo drones to quickly test new ideas in the field without starting a full aircraft development program.”

The collaboration combines GDC’s expertise in commercial drone platforms and aerial delivery with DDT’s temperature-controlled blood storage and transport capabilities to support:

Rapid resupply: Delivering blood when conventional ground transportation is unavailable or unsafe.Cold chain protection: Maintaining required blood temperatures during aerial transport.U.S.-sourced capability: Supporting domestic defense supply chain objectives.Accelerated development: Combining GDC’s existing commercial cargo drone technology with DDT’s established blood storage solutions.

The ABL effort addresses the challenge of delivering critical medical supplies in contested and austere environments. When terrain, damaged infrastructure, or tactical conditions prevent conventional resupply, aerial delivery combined with temperature-controlled storage can expand options for getting lifesaving blood products to service members when and where they are needed.

About Delta Development Team

Delta Development Team (DDT) is a U.S.-based medical technology company headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, specializing in blood storage, transport, monitoring, and logistics solutions for military and prehospital environments. DDT develops technology designed to keep blood available, traceable, and mission-ready from the blood bank to the point of injury. Its portfolio includes the APRU 6L, Delta ICE 2L, TBS 40L, and BloodCOMM® blood management platform.
