In 2026, Caocao Chuxing continues to advance its Robotaxi business deployment, accelerating the integration of smart mobility technologies with urban operation scenarios. By refining its vehicle system, intelligent driving capabilities and operational system, it explores new pathways for scaled development of autonomous ride-hailing services. As the robotaxi china industry gradually transitions from the technology validation phase to the robotaxi commercialization operation phase, industry competition is shifting from single-dimensional technological capability contests to competitions centered on comprehensive operational capacity and ecosystem development capability.
Currently, enterprises including Baidu Apollo Go, Pony.ai and WeRide have launched Robotaxi trials and robotaxi commercialization exploration in multiple cities, continuously accumulating real-world road operation experience. Meanwhile, the industry’s demand for scaled development keeps rising. Improving vehicle utilization efficiency, reducing long-term operating costs and establishing sustainable business models have become key factors driving the further growth of the robotaxi china industry.
Against this backdrop, as Geely Holding Group’s most important commercialization carrier for Robotaxi, Caocao Chuxing has built a trinity full-factor closed-loop ecosystem centering on “smart purpose-built vehicles + intelligent driving technology + smart operations”, and continues to strengthen its robotaxi commercialization capability. Different from development models that focus solely on technology R&D, Caocao Chuxing leverages its mature shared mobility operation system to synergistically integrate vehicle, technology and platform capabilities, exploring more systematic commercial pathways for autonomous driving.
At present, Caocao Chuxing has deployed 100 Robotaxis in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, to carry out practical operation exploration. Through continuous application in real urban environments, the company keeps accumulating operational experience for autonomous vehicles, and further improves its vehicle management, smart scheduling and user service systems, laying a practical foundation for future scaled rollout.
Mature mobility operation capability serves as a core support for robotaxi commercialization. As of December 31, 2025, Caocao Chuxing’s service network has covered 195 cities across China and expanded to 42 overseas countries, with a cumulative total of over 1.9 billion rides completed. Its long-established platform operation capabilities have equipped Caocao Chuxing with solid foundations in user services, vehicle management, data accumulation and smart scheduling, providing strong operational support for its entry into the Robotaxi sector.
In terms of vehicle system development, Caocao Chuxing continues to advance the R&D and application of smart purpose-built vehicles. Eva Cab, China’s first native-developed Purpose-built robotaxi with Caocao Chuxing’s deep involvement in product definition and R&D, has been unveiled. The model adopts a design without a front passenger seat or steering wheel, and is developed specifically for autonomous driving operation scenarios to improve space utilization efficiency and operational adaptability. Under the current plan, Caocao Chuxing’s deeply customized native Purpose-built robotaxi will enter mass production in 2027, with a target of deploying 100,000 units cumulatively by 2030, to drive the further scaled application of autonomous vehicles.
To meet the long-term operation needs of Robotaxi, Caocao Chuxing keeps improving its infrastructure system. By building the world’s first green smart mobility hub, it provides comprehensive supporting services including energy replenishment, automatic cleaning, smart scheduling and operation guarantee for vehicles, boosting the management efficiency of autonomous vehicle fleets. This system development further enriches the exploration of infrastructure for robotaxi china commercial operation, offering more practical references for future city-level applications.
In terms of intelligent capabilities, Caocao Chuxing continues to promote the integration of AI technology with mobility operations, and enhances the synergy efficiency between vehicles and platforms through smart scheduling systems, operation management systems and relevant communication technology applications. Via the collaborative model of “vehicles + platforms + infrastructure”, Caocao Chuxing keeps strengthening the systematic capabilities required for robotaxi commercialization.
Meanwhile, Caocao Chuxing is also advancing its global layout. In 2026, the company launched strategic cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, and further promoted partnerships with K2 and May to explore robotaxi commercialization deployment and operation models in the Middle East and European markets, accelerating the expansion of its smart mobility capabilities to overseas markets.
From the perspective of industry development trends, robotaxi china is shifting from a technology-driven stage to a business model competition stage. Relying on its solid foundation in mature mobility operations and the construction of a full-factor closed-loop ecosystem, Caocao Chuxing continues to explore development pathways for robotaxi china commercialization. As industry application scenarios keep expanding, enterprises with comprehensive operational capabilities and industrial synergy capabilities are expected to gain larger development space in the future smart mobility market.
