Neolix, a developer of Degree 4 autonomous logistics automobiles, has introduced a strategic partnership with Singapore-based deep-tech firm QuikBot Technologies, to construct an end-to-end autonomous supply answer spanning public roads, constructing interiors and particular person doorsteps.
The collaboration will help Neolix’s Singapore pilot deployment and compliance preparation, whereas advancing each corporations’ autonomous supply choices throughout Asia-Pacific, the Center East and different international markets.
On this collaboration, the 2 corporations will co-develop and combine Neolix’s autonomous mobility capabilities and fleet operations with QuikBot’s Autonomous Ultimate-Mile Supply Platform-as-a-Service (AFMD PaaS) to create a steady supply chain from public roads into buildings and to particular person doorways.
Commercially, each corporations will perform as co-deployers and go-to-market companions, collectively bringing their mixed autonomous supply answer to enterprise and good metropolis purchasers via joint pilots, technical requirements alignment, co-marketing, and strategic tenders.
Singapore gives an excellent launch market given its mature autonomous automobile ecosystem. The deployment coincides with Ministry of Transport initiatives to codify a complete legislative framework forward of a devoted Autonomous Car Act, shifting the nation from testing sandboxes to full business readability.
Driverless transport is scaling nationwide to mitigate manpower constraints, with autonomous public shuttles lively in residential hubs and public bus trials increasing into Marina Bay and one-north.
This ecosystem momentum is anchored by a reside Bodily AI testbed on the Punggol Digital District by finish of 2026. Supported by a precinct-level regulatory exemption from the Land Transport Authority, this district permits multi-operator autonomous fleets to share public paths seamlessly, offering a real-world blueprint for business logistics.
To function on these public routes, programs should first clear stringent, multi-stage deployment readiness assessments to make sure extended, intervention-free mileage inside geofenced zones.
In advanced city areas, autonomous supply automobiles can use autonomous driving and versatile dispatch to help high-frequency supply wants reminiscent of peak-hour, night-time and building-to-building actions, whereas last-metre supply options execute the “building-to-doorstep” section, bettering the resilience and effectivity of city logistics.
Neolix has deployed autonomous supply providers throughout scheduled logistics, immediate supply and nighttime supply in a number of cities. Its functions span categorical logistics, grocery store supply, contemporary retail, pharmaceutical supply, industrial logistics and supply-chain operations.
Up to now, its autonomous supply providers have reached greater than 300 cities in almost 20 nations and areas, with over 150 million autonomous kilometers logged. Neolix is advancing localized deployment and operations in markets together with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Portugal and Australia.
QuikBot has experience in last-mile supply. Its Autonomous Ultimate-Mile Supply Platform-as-a-Service (AFMD PaaS) and Ambient Permission Airplane, a permission and belief infrastructure for real-world bodily environments, are designed to assist autonomous driving programs coordinate with entry controls, lifts, good amenities and constructing operations.
QuikBot has labored with worldwide logistics corporations together with FedEx in business buildings in Singapore, giving each corporations direct operational expertise within the indoor supply environments central to this partnership.
Trying forward, the companions will collaborate to construct an end-to-end autonomous supply mannequin for Asia-Pacific, the Center East and broader international markets.
A profitable Singapore deployment would assist standardize the interface between public roads and constructing interiors, enabling fast replication in markets the place each corporations have already got a presence, together with the UAE, Japan and South Korea, whereas offering direct expertise for deployment in North America, Europe and different new markets, collectively shortening time-to-market.
Will Zhao, govt president, Neolix, says: “Singapore is a vital market in Neolix’s international deployment footprint. We’re bringing confirmed working expertise from large-scale autonomous supply providers to a market with clear regulatory expectations and concentrated business demand.
“QuikBot has deep data of Singapore’s constructing and final-mile supply atmosphere. This partnership will help our native pilot deployment and compliance preparation, join road-based autonomous driving extra successfully with constructing situations, and strengthen our end-to-end autonomous supply providing for extra international cities.”
Alan Ng, founder and CEO, QuikBot Applied sciences, says: “Autonomous supply has been a promise for years. What has been lacking is the infrastructure layer that ties every little thing collectively. Neolix brings confirmed on-road AV functionality.
“QuikBot brings the Ambient Permission Airplane that lets these automobiles transfer via buildings, talk with good infrastructure, and full the final metre of supply.
“For the primary time, a supply automobile can choose up a parcel on a public highway, navigate right into a constructing, and full handoff to the appropriate door, with no human within the chain. That’s what this partnership makes attainable.”
