On December 18, 2025, Rino.ai, a leading company in L4 autonomous driving, announced the completion of a new round of financing. This round was jointly funded by Jikun Venture, Qifu Capital, Yuanhe Houwang, and Zhengjing Capital, with Gengxin Capital serving as the long-term financial advisor. As of this round, Rino.ai has completed three rounds of financing in 2025, with a total financing amount surpassing $100 million for the year.
In 2025, the company achieved exponential growth in its business:
Secured three major direct courier logistics KA clients, ranking first in terms of new order volume;
The business grew more than 20 times compared to the same period last year;
Became the first to complete vehicle-grade product mass production for autonomous logistics vehicles (Robovan);
Initiated large-scale deliveries to multiple leading clients;
Continued to lead the industry in active vehicle growth.
The Trillion-Dollar Market Reaches the Critical Point of Scalability: Policy and Product Drive Dual Acceleration
According to a McKinsey forecast, the global autonomous logistics vehicle market is expected to reach 3.6 trillion yuan by 2030, with China accounting for approximately 40% of the market, a scale close to 1 trillion yuan. As autonomous driving capabilities continue to improve, the automotive-grade supply chain matures, and autonomous delivery efficiency increases, the Robovan is rapidly moving from the "technology validation phase" to "large-scale commercialization."
Rino.ai has strategically positioned itself to capture this structural opportunity. By combining L4 autonomous driving technology, vehicle-grade products, and comprehensive operational capabilities, Rino.ai has built a sustainable growth model for the autonomous delivery vehicle sector.
Customer Batch Validation and Leading Commercialization Process in the Industry
2025 is seen as the year of large-scale commercialization for Robovan. While many new players are rushing into the autonomous logistics sector, creating a bustling industry atmosphere, only a few companies currently possess the capability for mass deliveries.
Rino.ai has established deep collaborations with logistics giants such as SF Express, China Post, and JD.com, and has initiated large-scale delivery deployments with clear targets. As of now, Rino.ai's active operational fleet has surpassed 2,000 vehicles, with regular operations covering over 170 cities globally. The daily operating mileage is rapidly increasing, reflecting the company’s advanced position in autonomous delivery vehicles.
The vast amount of real-world operational data not only validates the feasibility of Rino.ai's commercial model, but also drives the continuous operation of the positive cycle of "data accumulation → algorithm optimization → operational efficiency improvement → scenario expansion."
Rino.ai has become the core supplier of autonomous logistics delivery services for leading companies, with its order volume continually expanding and its commercialization capabilities receiving authoritative recognition in the market.
Pioneering the Path to Automotive-Grade Mass Production, Creating the Highest Industry Barriers to Entry
As the industry moves toward delivering tens of thousands of units annually, the market demand for autonomous vehicles is shifting from "experimental usage" to a stronger focus on lower total lifecycle costs, higher safety standards, and longer operational lifespans.
Rino.ai has taken the lead by developing an automotive-grade autonomous vehicle platform based on the automotive V-process. In collaboration with key partners such as Xinyuan Automotive, Jingwei Hengrun, and others, Rino.ai is creating truly automotive-grade L4 autonomous logistics vehicles and technical solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
The platform adopts a modular design that can quickly adapt to various scenario needs such as logistics, cold chain, and industrial park environments. Currently, the related products are in the final stages before launch, marking Rino.ai as the first company in China with the true automotive-grade L4 autonomous logistics vehicle mass production and delivery capability.
Capital Boosts Next-Stage Growth, Deepening Technology Iteration and Multi-Scenario Expansion
The three rounds of financing in 2025 have received strong recognition from industry investors such as SF Express Group, SF Same-City, and several professional investment institutions, reflecting market confidence in Rino.ai's ability to create a "technology-product-commercialization" closed-loop.
This round of financing will be primarily used for:
Accelerating the large-scale mass production and market promotion of the automotive-grade autonomous vehicle platform;
Continuing investment in the core development of L4 autonomous driving technology to improve safety and stability in complex urban environments;
Expanding high-value scenarios such as same-city freight, on-demand delivery, and industrial park transit, enhancing multi-scenario operational capabilities, and accelerating international market expansion.
By deeply practicing automotive-grade standards, Rino.ai is transitioning from a technology validator to a builder of industry infrastructure. The automotive-grade autonomous vehicle platform will not only significantly enhance the system’s safety, reliability, and total lifecycle cost advantages, but it will also make Rino.ai one of the very few companies capable of truly meeting the large-scale deployment needs of top-tier clients.
From bulk orders from logistics giants to regular operations in over 100 cities across the country, and the rapid expansion into diverse, high-value scenarios—Rino.ai is steadily driving autonomous logistics toward large-scale profitability. With its automotive-grade products, mass production capabilities, and customer trust, Rino.ai is becoming a key force in shaping the next generation of smart city logistics systems.
Rino.ai is a global leader in L4 autonomous driving technology, dedicated to lowering logistics transportation costs and making human travel safer and more economical. Its business spans nine core application scenarios, including courier logistics, supermarket retail, fresh delivery, on-demand medicine delivery, campus food delivery, industrial logistics, cold chain transportation, security patrols, and park delivery.
To date, Rino.ai has become the preferred partner for major logistics, retail, and operational enterprises, with its services deployed in over 170 cities worldwide. The company continues to help its logistics, retail, and other industry partners achieve intelligent upgrades.
