U Power Limited (U Power), a leading EV battery power solution provider in China, has launched its AI-powered autonomous unmanned battery swapping logistics vehicle, marking a significant advancement in sustainable logistics operations. This breakthrough technology, which has undergone road testing, supports autonomous battery swapping and self-driving capabilities across long-haul, regional, and last-mile delivery scenarios.
Key Highlights:
- Innovative Solution: U Power’s autonomous vehicle integrates AI technology with UOTTA’s automated battery swapping system, enabling fully unmanned operations.
- Technical Edge: Advanced AI algorithms, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), enhance real-time path planning and emergency response.
- Market Target: Focused on logistics parks and industrial facilities, the solution aligns with the low-carbon economy’s demands for green, automated logistics systems.
- Cost Efficiency: The technology reduces green logistics operating costs by over 46%, presenting a global market opportunity worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Existing autonomous logistics vehicles rely on manual plug-in charging, limiting their unmanned potential. U Power’s integration of AI and battery-swapping technology resolves this limitation, enabling self-adaptive matching between vehicles and battery swap stations through sophisticated perception, decision-making, and control mechanisms. This innovation represents the world’s first fully autonomous energy solution for new energy vehicles.
Jia Li, Founder and CEO of U Power, explained the importance of this development: “This has enabled the complete automation and unmanning of electric vehicle battery swap stations, ultimately achieving unmanned energy replenishment for autonomous vehicles, creating the world’s first fully autonomous new energy vehicle operating solution.”
The solution’s advanced capabilities are further supported by its cloud platform and data interface, allowing seamless integration with logistics enterprises and industrial systems. This enhances transportation efficiency while addressing the growing need for continuous 24-hour operation in high-intensity delivery scenarios.
U Power is actively engaging with logistics companies worldwide, including those in Hong Kong, Thailand, Mexico, Peru, and Portugal, to promote the adoption of its technology. The company’s commitment to green logistics innovation is poised to meet the industry’s demand for low-carbon, sustainable solutions while driving significant cost reductions and operational efficiency.
Jia Li added, “Through continuous technological innovation and market expansion, we will meet the green logistics transportation needs of various industry clients, providing robust momentum for low-carbon sustainable development.”
This landmark achievement underscores U Power’s role in transforming the logistics industry through cutting-edge autonomous and sustainable technologies.
