WeRide Inc., a leading innovator in autonomous driving technology, has officially introduced the RoboVan W5, a next-generation autonomous delivery vehicle designed to revolutionize logistics. Equipped with WeRide’s proprietary Level 4 autonomous driving technology, the RoboVan W5 is engineered to operate seamlessly 24/7 in all weather conditions, tackling key challenges in urban delivery and logistics.
A New Era for Autonomous Delivery
The RoboVan W5 is a product of WeRide’s extensive experience in autonomous mobility. Over the past five years, the company has accumulated nearly 40 million kilometers of autonomous driving experience on public roads, ensuring that its technology is both robust and reliable. Built with long-distance and bulk delivery capabilities, the W5 integrates vehicle intelligence, cloud-based operations, and advanced logistics management systems to optimize efficiency in the delivery industry.
One of the standout features of the RoboVan W5 is its ability to operate independently without human intervention. This is made possible through WeRide’s self-developed, redundant sensor kit, which provides 360-degree, blind-spot-free perception. The advanced sensor suite enables the vehicle to detect and respond to vehicles, pedestrians, traffic lights, and various road obstacles, ensuring safe and efficient navigation through complex urban environments.
Intelligent Features for Enhanced Efficiency
The RoboVan W5 is not just about automation; it also brings intelligent logistics management to the forefront. It incorporates cloud-based intelligent scheduling, real-time monitoring, and advanced data analytics to optimize delivery routes and enhance efficiency. Through remote over-the-air (OTA) updates, WeRide ensures that the RoboVan W5 remains up-to-date with the latest technological advancements, allowing for rapid deployment and seamless adaptability to various delivery demands.
These intelligent features make the RoboVan W5 a valuable asset for businesses looking to streamline logistics operations, reduce human error, and lower costs. Whether navigating through densely populated city streets or delivering packages over long distances, the RoboVan W5 is designed to enhance the reliability and scalability of autonomous delivery services.
A Vision for the Future of Urban Mobility
Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide, emphasized the company’s vision for autonomous mobility and the significance of the RoboVan W5 in expanding WeRide’s ecosystem of self-driving solutions.
“The RoboVan W5 represents a major leap forward in autonomous delivery technology. Our goal is to seamlessly integrate autonomous driving into different urban scenarios, leveraging our self-developed universal autonomous driving platform, WeRide One. From the GXR Robotaxi transporting passengers to the RoboSweeper cleaning city streets, and now the RoboVan W5 handling urban logistics, we are creating a holistic ecosystem of self-driving solutions that address the evolving needs of modern cities.”
With the introduction of the RoboVan W5, WeRide continues to push the boundaries of autonomous transportation. By bridging cutting-edge artificial intelligence with real-world applications, the company is paving the way for a smarter, more efficient, and safer future in urban logistics. As businesses and consumers increasingly rely on fast, reliable deliveries, autonomous solutions like the RoboVan W5 are set to play a transformative role in shaping the future of logistics.
