New delivery robot can haul 2,200 pounds of your stuff

WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with its latest innovation, the Robovan W5. 

But it isn't stopping there. It's expanding its reach into smart logistics with an impressive delivery robot.

The van features a suite of proprietary sensors providing 360-degree perception, enabling it to accurately detect vehicles, traffic lights, pedestrians and other road users. It can perform overtaking maneuvers, avoid obstacles, adjust to inclines and handle docking and parking. Its path optimization system adjusts routes in real time based on traffic conditions, boosting delivery efficiency for express delivery, urban distribution and point-to-point logistics.

The electric drivetrain provides a per-charge operating range of 136 miles. Safety is paramount with redundant perception technologies, a drive-by-wire chassis, emergency braking, a collision warning system, remote monitoring and cloud control. The W5 is designed to operate reliably in various weather conditions, day and night.

For businesses operating multiple W5s, WeRide offers a system that supports multi-vehicle platooning, simplifying fleet management. Additional benefits include intelligent scheduling, data analytics and over-the-air updates. WeRide also provides round-the-clock support, on-site training and complimentary maintenance as part of its service package.

Dr. Tony Han, founder and CEO of WeRide, emphasizes the company's commitment to creating a comprehensive ecosystem of autonomous driving solutions. From robotaxis and robosweepers to the Robovan W5, WeRide aims to address diverse urban transportation needs with safe and reliable driverless technology. 

WeRide holds driverless permits in China, the UAE, Singapore and the U.S, operating in over 30 cities across nine countries. The company has partnerships with major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers like Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, Yutong Group, GAC Group and BOSCH.

With its impressive cargo capacity, advanced technology and focus on safety and efficiency, the Robovan W5 has the potential to transform urban logistics. As WeRide continues to innovate, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in the realm of autonomous driving.
