October 24, 2025, 9:30 pm
Neolix secured over $600M in record Series D funding, dominating China's autonomous delivery sector. This L4 RoboVan leader holds over 60% market share. Its advanced AI, including map-free navigation and vision-action models, redefines logistics. Funds fuel global expansion, new product development, and R&D. Neolix's 10,000+ deployed RoboVans operate across 300+ cities, accumulating over 50 million autonomous kilometers. The firm scales rapidly across express, cold chain, and urban freight, serving over 300,000 clients. Strategic partnerships in UAE, Japan, and South Korea propel worldwide growth. Neolix accelerates the future of efficient, automated urban logistics, setting industry benchmarks globally.
China's autonomous driving industry just set a new financial record. Neolix, a global leader in L4 autonomous delivery, closed its Series D funding round. The company raised over US$600 million. This marks the largest private fundraising in China's autonomous driving sector to date. It stands among China's biggest private investments this year.
This massive investment underscores strong confidence in Neolix. Investors see its technological edge. They recognize its commercial momentum. UAE-based StoneVenture led the round. Gaocheng Capital, CITIC Capital, CDH, Sparkedge Capital, Beijing AI Fund, and a major internet platform joined. Other key backers include Legend Capital, Gaorong Ventures, Templewater, and SAIC. Existing investor Yunqi Partners also increased its stake. Funds will drive algorithm and technology R&D. They will develop new products for diverse commercial scenarios. Neolix will enhance its service network. User experience will improve. Global expansion plans will accelerate.
Neolix has emerged rapidly since 2018. The company is the world's largest provider of L4 autonomous delivery (RoboVan) solutions. It delivered over 10,000 L4 RoboVans. This surpasses any other firm globally. A record 2,000 vehicles shipped in a single month. Its RoboVans operate in over 300 Chinese cities. Qingdao alone hosts more than 1,200 units. Popular X3 and X6 models each exceed 4,000 deliveries. This demonstrates robust market demand.
Technological prowess fuels Neolix's dominance. Its proprietary "Neolix-VA" vision-action foundation model represents a breakthrough. This end-to-end model is the first large-scale deployment in logistics. RoboVans navigate complex traffic environments. Spatial intelligence and behavioral reasoning drive this capability. Neolix pioneered map-free autonomous driving in freight. This enables true point-to-point delivery on public roads. Full environmental generalization is a reality. An AI-powered Dispatch Center integrates real-time data. It optimizes vehicles, routes, and orders. Neolix's L4 autonomous vehicles have accumulated over 50 million kilometers. This significant operational mileage keeps the company far ahead of rivals.
Neolix secured China's first autonomous delivery license in 2021. Since then, growth has been exponential. Vehicle deliveries increased tenfold annually for two consecutive years. The company now commands over 60% of cumulative market share. It holds 70% of new monthly shipments. Neolix accounts for 80% of monthly revenue in China's autonomous delivery segment. It serves over 300,000 clients. These range from large enterprises to small businesses.
The company dominates the express delivery sector. It is the sole RoboVan supplier for all major Chinese logistics players. These include SF Express, JD Logistics, China Post, STO, YTO, ZTO, and J&T Express. Neolix captures nearly 70% of key account tenders. Beyond express logistics, Neolix expands into fresh food, cold chain, supermarket, and urban freight. Operational efficiency and service reliability improve significantly. RoboVans excel in nighttime operations. A single unit completes over 10 delivery cycles per shift.
Neolix further innovates commercial models. It launched the world's first RoboVan-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. This partnership with Didi Freight targets on-demand logistics. RaaS significantly lowers the barrier to autonomous delivery adoption. Diversified urban logistics scenarios now generate over half of Neolix's monthly order volume. The broader urban logistics segment sees Neolix serve hundreds of top-tier clients. It holds over 60% market share in this area.
Global expansion accelerates. Neolix partnered with K2 Group, an Abu Dhabi-based AI technology firm. In October 2025, they secured the first RoboVan license ever issued in the UAE. This paves the way for scaled deployment across the Middle East. Neolix joined Japan's largest autonomous driving association, Autoware, in September 2025. A strategic cooperation agreement followed in July 2025. This agreement with the Incheon Metropolitan Government promotes RoboVan deployment in South Korea. Neolix's mission to make autonomous vehicles accessible worldwide gains traction.
Analysts project robust growth for autonomous delivery vehicles. 2025 is seen as a breakout year. Soochow Securities forecasts over 30,000 units sold in China this year alone. Neolix estimates China's urban logistics market is ripe for automation. This market, valued at over RMB 3 trillion, uses about 30 million delivery vehicles. Within three years, major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou could host thousands of daily autonomous vehicle operations.
Neolix envisions an intelligent logistics network. Once fleets reach critical mass, it will serve both enterprises and individuals. This network will enable shared capacity. It will ensure highly efficient resource allocation. Neolix’s full-stack capabilities cover in-house software and hardware development. It includes vehicle manufacturing and intelligent dispatching. The company has filed over 1,500 patents. Neolix vehicles are designed for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. They enable 24/7 autonomous operations. They run reliably in all weather conditions. They handle diverse, complex road scenarios. Neolix defines the future of logistics.
