GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 6, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ: WRD), a global leader in
autonomous driving technology, today launched the Robovan W5,
featuring self-developed Level 4 autonomous technology that
operates 24/7 in all weather conditions. It offers long-distance
and bulk delivery capabilities integrating vehicle, cloud, and
operations to address key challenges in the logistics industry,
particularly in express delivery, urban distribution and various
point-to-point logistics, with a cost-effective unmanned delivery
solution.
As a Level 4 autonomous logistics vehicle designed
for urban open roads, Robovan W5 is built on WeRide's
almost 1,900 days of autonomous operations, and nearly 40
million kilometers of autonomous driving mileage on public
roads. It features WeRide's self-designed redundant sensor kit,
which detects vehicles, traffic lights, pedestrians, and other road
users, while providing 360-degree blind-spot-free perception to
operate 24/7 in various traffic conditions.
The WeRide Robovan W5 is tailored for high-frequency urban
logistics. Features include the largest cargo capacity in its class
at 5.5 cubic meters with 1,000 kg maximum payload, and operating
range of up to 220 kilometers. The Robovan W5 navigates
complex urban traffic environments with an intelligent path
optimization system that analyzes traffic conditions in
real-time, dynamically adjusting routes to avoid congestion. It
allows modular cargo box stacking for different scenarios.
The Robovan W5 supports multi-vehicle platooning, allowing
single-operator management of multiple vehicles for standardized,
scalable delivery. Its electric drive and 24/7 operations further
reduce operation costs.
Safety features include redundant drive-by-wire chassis,
redundant perception, emergency braking, collision warning, driving
status monitoring and intelligent Cloud Control Platform.
Service features include cloud-based intelligent scheduling,
real-time monitoring, task optimization, and data analytics, rapid
deployment, and remote OTA upgrades. WeRide also provides 24/7
customer support, on-site training, customized solutions,
comprehensive warranty, complimentary maintenance, vehicle
replacement for quality issues, and IoT.
"The Robovan W5 demonstrates WeRide's latest breakthrough in
autonomous delivery and ability to adapt WeRide's proven autonomous
driving technology across different urban scenarios with our
self-developed universal autonomous driving technology platform
WeRide One," said Dr. Tony Han,
Founder and CEO of WeRide. "From our GXR Robotaxi
serving passengers and Robosweeper cleaning the urban environment
to the Robovan W5 handling urban logistics, we're creating a
comprehensive ecosystem of autonomous driving solutions to
cover diverse urban transportation needs."
