Scaled in China, pilot abroad
Thousands of units in daily work across many customers and countries. Outside China: runs at a few customer sites in limited scope. Results are not yet proven at scale.
What it does
A small driverless electric van runs set routes between a sorting hub and delivery outlets, or out to villages. Staff load it at one end and unload at the other. It drives at low speed on public roads where local rules allow.
