With the first fleet now navigating real city streets for distribution, the ride-hailing giant's unmanned freight business has moved firmly into the commercial phase.In terms of business model, CaoCao Inc. is moving beyond the traditional approach of simply selling autonomous vehicles. Instead, it's building a diversified system that combines vehicle sales, leasing, and RaaS capacity services. By transforming unmanned logistics equipment into intelligent, on-demand capacity with long-term maintenance, the company is upgrading its value proposition from a one-off hardware delivery to a sustained operational service—offering clients flexible, low-cost urban distribution solutions.Image Source: CaoCao Inc.As the inaugural city, Changsha has successfully executed the entire operational chain. This run validates the model's replicability, laying the groundwork for future expansion into multiple cities.The competitive logic of the autonomous logistics sector has shifted. The industry is no longer fixated solely on autonomous driving technology; instead, operational management and commercialization capabilities now stand alongside R&D as the three pillars of evaluation.Serving as the primary vehicle for Geely Holding's RoboX strategy, CaoCao Inc. has constructed a closed-loop ecosystem integrating "smart custom vehicles, autonomous technology, and intelligent operations." Leveraging mature systems for dispatch, fulfillment, and fleet management, the model targets high-frequency planned logistics scenarios—such as last-mile delivery, supermarket restocking, warehouse-to-store transfers, and intra-city freight. The company plans to expand into on-demand delivery, further optimizing the efficiency of the entire urban logistics network.In June, CaoCao Inc. unveiled its RoboX comprehensive AI transformation strategy, aiming to build a global platform for Physical AI mobility. The roadmap calls for deploying a cumulative 100,000 robotaxis and 100,000 Robovans by 2030. The launch in Changsha marks a critical step in the synergistic development of the company's passenger and freight autonomous driving businesses.
