“We are honored to present our brand-new Robovan series at this prestigious event. With Hefei’s continued expansion of autonomous driving road access, our unmanned vehicles have moved beyond fresh food and supermarket instant deliveries into new intra-city logistics scenarios—such as inter-store inventory transfers for corporate clients and express parcel hub connections. Hefei was the first city where Rino.ai’s autonomous vehicles took to the roads, operating regularly on busy streets and leading in both fleet size and mileage. With support from proactive government policies and market demand, we believe our vehicles will continue to surprise and delight our customers.”
