Gasgoo Munich- Neolix, a global provider of Level 4 autonomous urban logistics solutions, has entered a comprehensive strategic partnership with iMile, a worldwide delivery firm. Targeting markets in Europe, Latin America, and Australia, the alliance aims to scale L4 autonomous delivery technology across diverse scenarios including e-commerce, retail, and fresh food cold chains.Image Source: iMileIn practice, the partners will coordinate distribution hubs with autonomous fleets to boost delivery speeds during peak periods and ensure reliable fulfillment. For supermarkets and community retail, the plan involves testing off-peak or overnight autonomous replenishment, enabling minute-level instant delivery to ease labor and traffic strains.The companies will also explore autonomous units equipped with smart temperature control, seeking a path to solve spoilage challenges for fresh produce and frozen goods in the last mile. Operationally, these vehicles run around the clock. Once scaled, per-delivery costs could drop by 30% to 50%, while filling capacity gaps during nights, extreme weather, and in remote areas. Furthermore, the electric fleet will help reduce tailpipe emissions and the carbon footprint of final-mile logistics.Yu Enyuan, founder and CEO of Neolix, said the deal will bring autonomous delivery vehicles to more nations, accelerating the company's global scale-up. iMile founder and CEO Huang Zhen noted that leveraging iMile's global network and local expertise will allow the partners to integrate autonomous driving into real-world logistics. This translates technology into tangible service improvements and safer, more stable delivery for clients worldwide.Neolix has deployed over 27,000 autonomous logistics vehicles globally, covering more than 300 cities across nearly 20 countries, with accumulated mileage exceeding 250 million kilometers. iMile's proprietary delivery network spans over 30 countries in Europe and Latin America.
