en.Wedoany.com Reported - Neolix, a developer of L4 autonomous logistics vehicles, has entered into a strategic partnership with Singapore-based deep tech company QuikBot Technologies to jointly build an end-to-end autonomous delivery solution covering public roads, building interiors, and doorsteps. The collaboration aims to support Neolix's pilot deployment and compliance preparation in Singapore, while driving the expansion of autonomous delivery services for both companies in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and other global markets.
Under the partnership, Neolix's autonomous mobility capabilities and fleet operations will be integrated with QuikBot's Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery Platform as a Service (AFMD PaaS), creating a continuous delivery chain from public roads to building interiors and doorsteps. On the commercial front, the two parties will act as joint deployment partners and marketing collaborators, offering integrated autonomous delivery solutions to enterprises and smart city clients through joint pilots, technical standard alignment, co-marketing, and strategic tenders.
Singapore has been selected as the initial launch market due to its mature autonomous driving ecosystem. This comes at a time when Singapore's Ministry of Transport is advancing a comprehensive legislative framework ahead of the introduction of a dedicated Autonomous Vehicle Act, transitioning the nation from testing sandboxes to commercial clarity. Autonomous transportation is expanding nationwide to alleviate labor shortages: autonomous public shuttles are already operating in residential hubs, and public bus trials are progressing toward Marina Bay and one-north. The launch of a real-time Physical AI test platform at Punggol Digital District by the end of 2026 further accelerates this ecosystem. Under the Land Transport Authority's district-level regulatory exemptions, the platform allows multiple operators' autonomous fleets to seamlessly share public pathways, providing a real-world reference for commercial logistics.
To operate on these public routes, systems must undergo rigorous multi-stage deployment readiness assessments, ensuring extended periods of autonomous driving within geofenced areas without human intervention. In complex urban spaces, autonomous delivery vehicles can leverage self-driving and flexible scheduling to support high-frequency delivery demands, such as during peak hours, nighttime, and inter-building movements; last-meter delivery solutions handle the "building-to-doorstep" segment, enhancing the resilience and efficiency of urban logistics.
Neolix has deployed autonomous delivery services—including scheduled logistics, instant delivery, and nighttime delivery—across multiple cities, covering applications such as courier logistics, supermarket delivery, fresh produce retail, pharmaceutical delivery, industrial logistics, and supply chain operations. To date, its autonomous delivery services have covered over 300 cities in nearly 20 countries and regions, with a cumulative autonomous mileage exceeding 150 million kilometers. Neolix is advancing localized deployment and operations in markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Portugal, and Australia.
QuikBot specializes in the last-mile delivery segment. Its Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery Platform as a Service (AFMD PaaS) and Ambient Permission Plane—a permission and trust infrastructure for real-world physical environments—are designed to coordinate autonomous systems with access controls, elevators, smart facilities, and building operations. QuikBot has collaborated with international logistics companies such as FedEx in commercial buildings in Singapore, accumulating direct operational experience in indoor delivery environments, which is central to this partnership.
Looking ahead, the two parties will jointly build an end-to-end autonomous delivery model targeting the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and broader global markets. Successful deployment in Singapore will help standardize the interface between public roads and building interiors, enabling rapid replication in markets where both companies have a presence—including the UAE, Japan, and South Korea—while providing direct experience for expansion into North America, Europe, and other new markets, thereby jointly reducing time-to-market.
Will Zhao, Executive President of Neolix, stated that Singapore is a key market in Neolix's global deployment map, and the company is bringing its proven large-scale autonomous delivery service operations into a market with clear regulatory expectations and concentrated commercial demand. QuikBot has deep insights into Singapore's building and last-mile delivery environments, and this partnership will support local pilot deployment and compliance preparation, more effectively connecting road autonomous driving with building scenarios, and strengthening end-to-end autonomous delivery capabilities for more global cities.
Alan Ng, Founder and CEO of QuikBot Technologies, noted that autonomous delivery has been a promise for years, but what was missing was the infrastructure layer to connect all the pieces. Neolix brings proven road autonomous driving capabilities, while QuikBot provides the Ambient Permission Plane, enabling vehicles to move within buildings, communicate with smart infrastructure, and complete last-meter deliveries. For the first time, a delivery vehicle can pick up items on public roads, navigate into a building, and deliver to the correct doorstep without human intervention—this partnership makes it possible.
