Beyond China: emerging markets hold key to profitability for world’s largest robovan fleet
Zelos Technology, a Chinese company that claims to operate the world's largest robovan fleet, is prioritizing expansion into emerging markets like Southeast Asia and the Middle East for profitability. The company, which merged with Cainiao's autonomous vehicle unit in January to form a $2 billion entity, views artificial intelligence capabilities as crucial for competitiveness. Zelos aims to be recognized as an AI solutions provider rather than solely a vehicle operator, with revenue from emerging markets reportedly doubling that of mainland China and boosting gross profit margins.
