CaoCao launches Robovan commercial operations in Changsha

CaoCao, Geely's ride-hailing platform, launched commercial Robovan operations in Changsha on 15 July, deploying autonomous delivery vehicles for urban logistics. The company combines vehicle sales, leasing and Robotics-as-a-Service to offer delivery-as-a-service rather than one-time vehicle sales, aiming to replicate the model across cities. If you sell logistics software or fleet operations tools to China, CaoCao just proved the customer exists and they're not buying trucks—they're renting autonomous delivery as a monthly service. That changes what they need from you.
