The autonomous driving sector is transitioning into a critical new stage, shifting its focus from rapid technological breakthroughs to real-world, large-scale commercialization. As the industry matures, the ability to deploy autonomous systems reliably, efficiently, and at scale has become the key differentiator. CiDi Inc., a pioneer in full-stack autonomous driving solutions, has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation by demonstrating tangible commercial success—particularly within closed environments such as mining operations. This proven deployment capability is now laying the foundation for CiDi’s broader expansion into new industries and global markets, offering a more resilient and sustainable growth narrative. On December 11, 2025, the company officially initiated its IPO process in Hong Kong, marking a major milestone in its development.
CiDi’s strength lies in its deep specialization in closed-environment autonomous driving, where operational stability, safety, and scalability are paramount. The company has built a comprehensive full-stack technology architecture that includes proprietary algorithms for perception, decision-making, path planning, and vehicle control. These systems are tightly integrated with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicles, allowing CiDi’s autonomous solutions to adapt precisely to complex operational scenarios. At the core of this ecosystem is a centralized dispatch and fleet management platform that functions as the system’s “intelligent brain.” By coordinating mixed fleets of autonomous and human-operated vehicles, the platform maximizes utilization, reduces downtime, and optimizes overall operational efficiency.
This closed-loop technological framework has enabled CiDi to deploy the world’s largest mixed-operation autonomous mining truck fleet. In these demanding environments, CiDi’s autonomous trucks have demonstrated efficiency levels that exceed those of manual operations, while simultaneously improving safety outcomes and reducing operating costs. These results have positioned the company as a benchmark for commercialized autonomous driving within the mining sector.
CiDi’s business model further strengthens its market position by leveraging its technological advantages across two complementary revenue streams: Autonomous Driving Solutions and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. Its autonomous solutions include modular, standalone kits that can be retrofitted onto existing vehicles, significantly lowering the capital and operational barriers for mining companies transitioning to autonomous fleets. As of today, CiDi has delivered 414 autonomous trucks and systems, with indicative orders for an additional 647 units, underscoring its leadership in the global autonomous mining truck market.
Looking ahead, CiDi is extending its expertise beyond mining into other closed environments such as industrial parks, logistics hubs, and specialized transport zones. These new applications focus on autonomous cargo transport, intelligent navigation, and enhanced pedestrian safety, allowing CiDi to replicate its proven deployment model across a broader range of scenarios. At the same time, the company is accelerating its international expansion strategy to capture global demand.
With the autonomous commercial vehicle market projected to surge from RMB 10 billion in 2024 to over RMB 1.6 trillion by 2030, CiDi stands well-positioned to capitalize on this explosive growth. By combining mature full-stack technology, real-world commercial validation, and a clear global expansion roadmap, CiDi is helping define the future of intelligent autonomous logistics and reinforcing its role as a global leader in smart transportation solutions.
