Neolix has unveiled an expanded portfolio of autonomous logistics vehicles and software, introducing a new X1 final-feet courier alongside an AI-powered fleet management system as the company scales commercial deployment of self-driving delivery services.
The Chinese autonomous logistics company said the updated RoboVan portfolio spans final-feet, last-mile, middle-mile and intra-city distribution, supported by what it describes as mapless Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving technology and centralized fleet orchestration software. Neolix said its global fleet has grown to more than 16,000 deployed autonomous vehicles, operating across multiple logistics use cases.

“Autonomous logistics has reached a critical tipping point, transitioning from experimental pilots to true commercial scale,” said Yu Enyuan, founder and chief executive of Neolix.
The newly introduced X1 is designed for the “final 100 meters” of delivery, with the ability to navigate both indoor and outdoor environments and use elevators for building access. Neolix said the vehicle has a cargo capacity of less than one cubic meter and is intended for high-frequency courier tasks in dense urban settings.
The company’s broader RoboVan lineup includes the X3 for last-mile delivery, the X6 for middle-mile logistics, and the H12, an intra-city vehicle with payload capacity of up to 12 cubic meters. All models operate with L4 autonomy and are designed for continuous operation in varying traffic and weather conditions, according to the company.

At the core of the system is a dual-engine architecture combining AI-driven fleet management with mapless autonomous driving. Neolix said its fleet platform automates order processing, routing and dispatch, and can support more than 100,000 autonomous vehicles, while dynamic resource allocation algorithms can improve fleet efficiency by around 30%. The mapless autonomy system relies on real-time perception and positioning rather than high-definition maps, the company added.
Neolix said non-express delivery applications now account for more than half of its total sales, including groceries, fresh food, pharmacies and business-to-business on-demand services. In Qingdao, the company operates what it describes as the world’s largest high-density autonomous delivery fleet, with more than 1,200 vehicles in service.

Internationally, Neolix has received approval for fully unmanned public road operations in the United Arab Emirates and has partnerships in Japan, South Korea and Europe, including collaborations with local governments and automotive distributors. The company said it plans to accelerate overseas expansion in 2026, with a focus on the Middle East, Europe and other global markets, and is targeting more than 50,000 overseas deliveries in 2027.
Neolix introduced a RoboVan-as-a-Service (RaaS) model in 2025, shifting from vehicle sales toward service-based access to autonomous fleets, a move the company said reduces upfront costs for logistics operators. The company said it holds more than 1,500 patents and develops its autonomous systems in-house, covering software, hardware, vehicle manufacturing and fleet operations.
