CaoCao Inc., the mobility services arm of Geely Holding Group, on Tuesday outlined a long-term strategy to scale up its autonomous-driving business globally, setting out a decade-long roadmap aimed at commercial Robotaxi deployment across 100 cities. The plan was presented by Chief Executive Gong Xin at a strategy event in Hangzhou, where the company also unveiled a prototype of what it calls a future mobility hub, the “Green Intelligent Transit Island.”
Under its so-called “Ten Years, One Hundred Cities, One Hundred Billion RMB” strategy, CaoCao plans to establish five global operations hubs, expand Robotaxi services to 100 cities and generate 100 billion yuan ($14 billion) in gross transaction value over the next decade.

Gong said the company is now entering its “Robotaxi 2.0” phase, focused on scaling up automation. “The company is now entering its ‘Robotaxi 2.0’ stage,” Gong said, adding that the next phase will emphasize large-scale, fully driverless operations supported by remote-assistance safety platforms and integrated digital asset-management systems.
CaoCao said its autonomous-driving development will follow a three-stage path, beginning with technical validation and pilot operations, moving toward fully unmanned services operating alongside human-driven vehicles, and eventually leading to the deployment of purpose-built Robotaxi models for global commercial use. The company said the strategy forms a central part of Geely’s overseas expansion ambitions, using mobility services as a channel for international growth.

The company also said its Green Intelligent Transit Island facility has officially entered service, combining automated battery swapping, intelligent dispatching, interior cleaning and automatic billing, while reserving space for future eVTOL landing and charging infrastructure. CaoCao said the hub is designed as a standardized model for replication in other cities. In addition, the company plans to diversify its revenue base by exploring new partnership and vehicle-ownership models as autonomous operations expand.
At the event, CaoCao signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chongqing Qianli Zhijia Technology to accelerate the commercial deployment of autonomous-driving technology in shared-mobility services. Geely said its Robotaxi strategy is built on a closed-loop system that integrates custom EV platforms, autonomous-driving software and large-scale fleet operations, supported by CaoCao’s decade of ride-hailing data, dispatch algorithms and nationwide service network.
