Chinese autonomous delivery vehicles making inroads overseas

Chinese autonomous delivery vehicle makers are accelerating their push into global markets, with new milestones achieved in South Korea, Europe and beyond.

On July 24, domestic autonomous vehicle manufacturer Neolix signed a cooperation agreement with the city of Incheon, South Korea, during a ceremony held in Beijing, signaling the first official use of unmanned delivery vehicles in South Korea's history.

According to the memorandum of understanding, Neolix will partner with the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority (IFEZA) to provide smart logistics automation services to key logistics hubs in Incheon, while long-term plans also involve the use of Incheon as a strategic base for expanding its investment and operations across the South Korean market, according to Neolix.
