The spending shift follows a deliberate halving of Amazon delivery volume, with CEO Carol Tomé citing automated buildings running 28% cheaper per package than conventional ones. Projects span a Philippines hub, an Ontario facility, a Hong Kong air hub by 2028, and temperature-controlled healthcare logistics for drugs like GLP-1 medicines. DHL is pursuing a similar strategy in Europe, cutting 8,000 German postal jobs while expanding health logistics. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
