As a leader in L4 autonomous freight technology, KargoBot.ai has initiated autonomous convoy transport tests in Ordos and established the Future Transport Robotics Research Center. The alliance comprises over 30 companies, including autonomous driving tech firms, automakers, Tier-1 suppliers, supply chain partners, and government support units.

Dr. Wei Junqing, CEO of KargoBot.ai, emphasized, “A true breakthrough in large-scale commercial operations requires the establishment of an industry ecosystem, not just the efforts of autonomous truck technology companies. This alliance, spearheaded by KargoBot.ai in partnership with Shaanxi Automobile Group, CIMC Vehicles, and Ordos Group, aims to achieve maximum resource integration and industry synergy.”

KargoBot.ai will leverage its autonomous convoy technology, supported by Seyond’s precise 3D data from high-performance LiDAR for enhanced system perception. Other partners will provide support in vehicle manufacturing, supply chain integration, financial backing, scenario empowerment, and policy advancement.
