About Zelostech
Zelostech develops the vehicle and autonomous-driving stack together, combining lidar, radar, cameras and ultrasonic sensing with onboard planning and control. Its Z5 and Z10 range includes refrigerated bodies and a multi-locker configuration, allowing the same vehicle platform to serve bulk cargo, temperature-sensitive goods and separately accessible deliveries.
The Z5's 6.2-cubic-metre cargo compartment places it in van-scale logistics, with configurations aimed at express delivery, postal services and retail replenishment. The broader deployment model covers movements within industrial and business parks as well as delivery routes. Vehicle capacity, cargo access and refrigeration are selected around the goods and receiving workflow.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-20 - Deployment - ALS launches planned Cyberjaya driverless RoboVan road trial
The Level 4 goods vehicle is intended to operate in mixed traffic with no onboard driver or passenger and remote supervision from ALS’s Cyberjaya operations centre. Malaysia’s road-transport authority authorised public-road testing in June; the remote operations centre launched in July. The programme follows a January postal-logistics proof of concept involving ALS, Zelostech and Pos Malaysia.
Source - 2026-09-30 - Award - Dynamic Map-led team selected for Automated Logistics Road trial
The team includes Kajima, Mitsubishi Electric and Seino Transportation. Trials are planned from November to mid-December 2026 using two ZELOSTECH Z5 autonomous cargo vehicles and one Z10. The planned tests use a 10 km/h baseline and selected straight-road runs at 30 km/h, with optical-fibre sensing for infrastructure-assisted driving.
Source - 2026-09-15 - Facility Opening - Zelostech opens RoboVan experience center at Port of Antwerp-Bruges
The center was established with Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority as a long-term demonstration and evaluation site. Zelostech RoboVans continue operating along the port’s K102 route in a live port environment. Logistics operators and other industry visitors can request demonstrations and assess potential applications for autonomous vehicles.
Source - 2026-09-10 - Deployment - CEVA deploys two Zelostech Z10 RoboVans in Singapore Blue Hub pilot
The Z10 vehicles autonomously move pallets, totes and other inventory between floors using the building’s existing ramps. The pilot operates inside CEVA’s eight-storey, 50,000-square-metre Blue Hub and replaces some diesel-truck movements. CEVA expects the trial to inform possible rollout of autonomous mobility across other facilities.
Source - 2026-08-17 - Deployment - Zelostech expands Jining autonomous freight service into nighttime delivery
The operating area covers Rencheng, Jiaxiang, Yanzhou, Qufu, Zoucheng and Wenshang. Night service supports merchant restocking, shop distribution and individual parcel delivery outside daytime operating hours. The vehicles were already operating across multiple parts of Jining when the expanded service was announced.
Source - 2026-07-17 - Production Milestone - Zelostech begins large-scale production of map-free L4 RoboVans
The system removes the need to prepare detailed high-definition maps before opening each logistics route. Zelostech said preparation for a new operating area could fall to less than one day, compared with weeks for conventional mapped deployments. The company reported a fleet exceeding 25,000 vehicles and more than 160 million autonomous kilometres across over 300 cities.
Source - 2026-01-21 - Deployment - ALS and Zelostech launch Pos Malaysia postal-logistics proof of concept
The trial is to proceed in phases, starting within the postal centre before potential wider operational and public-road use. The programme supports Pos Malaysia’s logistics digitalisation and environmental goals. ALS provides local implementation alongside Zelostech’s autonomous vehicle technology.
Source - 2025-04-16 - Funding - Zelostech completes nearly US$300M Series B
Blue Lake Capital and CDH BAIFU co-led the Series B, with Asia Investment Capital and Baidu Ventures among the participating investors. Zelos’s L4 urban-delivery vehicles are designed for scenarios such as express delivery and fresh produce and can operate from −30°C to +55°C. The financing will support next-generation product R&D, supply-chain development and global market expansion.
Source - 2024-07-04 - Deployment - Zelos Z5 launches with four Hesai AT128 lidars
The Z5 2024 carries four AT128 units, each providing 128 laser channels and 1.53 million points per second. The agreement names Hesai as exclusive lidar supplier for the Z5 configuration rather than for every Zelos vehicle family. The integration supports real-time 3D perception used by the delivery vehicle for path planning and obstacle avoidance.
