WeRide Launches Robovan W5, a New Class of Autonomous Delivery Vehicle

WeRide Inc., a global developer of autonomous driving technology, has 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.

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.  

Service features include cloud-based intelligent scheduling, real-time monitoring, task optimszation, and data analytics, rapid deployment, and remote OTA upgrades.

Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide, says: "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. 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."

WeRide provides 24/7 customer support for the Robovan W5, plus on-site training, customised solutions, comprehensive warranty, complimentary maintenance, vehicle replacement for quality issues, and IoT.
