Hesai Technology will be the exclusive LiDAR supplier for this model, collaborating with Zelos to pioneer the application of automotive-grade semi-solid-state LiDAR in the Level-4 (L4) autonomous logistics field.

The newly launched 2024 Z5 autonomous vehicle from Zelos is equipped with four Hesai AT128 LiDAR. Each LiDAR integrates 128 lasers, delivering an ultra-high point frequency of 1.53 million points per second for high-precision 3D scanning of the surrounding environment. This technology enables the Z5 to better plan routes and avoid obstacles intelligently.
