In order to help bulk cargo shippers to reduce cost and enhance efficiency, KargoBot created a dedicated mixed fully autonomous transport solution with the core product being a mixed intelligent marshalling system, KargoOne. 

KargoOne is composed of one intelligent driving-enabled pilot vehicle with a human driver onboard with multiple L4 autonomous driving trucks following its lead. This system works with end-to-end cargo transport under various complex scenarios, including short, average, and long-distance trips.  

The KargoOne model allows KargoBot to increase its processing capacity by 50 times under complex scenarios and improve its core safety indicators by 20 times, while effectively reducing wind resistance, as well as cutting energy consumption by 5-10%. 

As of March this year, KargoBot has transported more than 1.2 million tonnes of coal and other bulk commodities in total, and its cumulative logistics revenue has exceeded 100 million yuan. 

In addition, Kargobot has also released KargoCloud, a hybrid intelligent scheduling platform for shipping capacity, which can further improve the efficiency of cargo operation and scheduling. Up to now, more than 350 trucks have been connected to KargoCloud, and more than 300 million yuan of logistics business is dispatched by the platform every year.
