About
About Westwell
Westwell was founded in Shanghai in 2015 and first applied computer vision and AI to container-terminal operations. It subsequently introduced the cabless Q-Truck and expanded into Q-Chassis transport platforms, fleet-management software, terminal intelligence and battery-swapping energy services. The company established an international headquarters in Hong Kong as deployments spread beyond China.
Westwell's systems are designed for repetitive, high-throughput cargo movement in controlled but operationally complex environments. Deployments span seaports, land ports, airport cargo, automotive factories and other industrial logistics sites, with autonomous vehicles operating alongside conventional equipment and workers. This makes the company a yard and middle-mile logistics builder rather than a public-road autonomous trucking operator. Its software and energy products are part of the same integrated deployment stack.

Events
- 2026-07-06 - Commercial Order - Port of Felixstowe expands Westwell autonomous fleet to 100 trucks
The repeat order expands the Felixstowe autonomous truck fleet to 100 vehicles after two earlier Westwell batches. New vehicles add 128-line LiDAR and advanced cameras for perception in a busy mixed-traffic container terminal. The investment includes a second automated battery-swapping station; the existing station changes batteries in five to six minutes.
