Gasgoo Munich-Gasgoo reported on April 21 that DeepWay has secured a significant injection in its latest Pre-IPO round. The company has now raised more than $310 million in total — marking the largest single financing round in the autonomous heavy-duty truck sector in five years.The round was led by the UAE's Stone Capital, with participation from prominent Australian pension fund NGS Super and Xiamen Guosheng Fund. Existing backers ABC Impact, an Asian impact private equity fund, and Nanjing Ronghe Venture Capital also increased their stakes.Proceeds will primarily fuel DeepWay's autonomous driving R&D and the global commercial rollout of its unmanned freight robots.Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Hefei, DeepWay specializes in new energy heavy-duty trucks and smart highway freight solutions. It stands as the first company globally to engineer smart new energy heavy trucks from the ground up and achieve mass delivery.Notably, DeepWay secured a "white-box" autonomous technology license from Baidu at its inception — the only such authorization Baidu has granted for commercial vehicles. This made DeepWay the first company to materialize Baidu's "Apollo X Plan." The startup was founded by Wan Jun, who also established Shiqiao Group, while its CTO, Tian Shan, previously led Baidu's commercial vehicle autonomous driving unit.About Seeds Discovery:Gasgoo's Seeds Discovery column is designed to connect startups with ecosystem partners, investors, and local governments, empowering the entire automotive supply chain.
