The autonomous last-mile delivery market is experiencing significant growth, driven by advancements in technology and the surge in e-commerce. The market is projected to reach USD 4.2 billion by 2030.
This growth is closely linked to the expansion of e-commerce, which accounted for 19.4% of total retail sales worldwide in 2023. By 2027, this figure is expected to rise to 22.6%, underscoring the increasing reliance on efficient delivery solutions.
To meet these demands, a new Level 4 autonomous logistics vehicle has been introduced, offering 24/7 operation, real-time route optimization, and multi-vehicle coordination. Designed for high-frequency urban deliveries, WeRide’s Robovan W5 features a 1,000 kg payload capacity and a 220 km range, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
Equipped with a 360-degree redundant sensor system, emergency braking, and cloud-based fleet management, this vehicle ensures safety and reliability in complex urban environments. Its electric design not only reduces operational costs but also aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainable logistics solutions.
As the logistics industry evolves, such innovations are essential for addressing the challenges of modern urban delivery, providing scalable and cost-effective solutions for express and point-to-point logistics.
