Recently, Velobotics completed a new round of financing totaling RMB 400 million, with the investor being the Huangshi Industrial Development Fund managed by Huangshi State-owned Capital Investment Group Co., Ltd. The injection of state-owned capital with a domestic AAA entity credit rating into Velobotics fully reflects the market's high recognition of its full-stack technologies in special-purpose autonomous driving and large-scale commercial implementation capabilities. This round of financing will strongly drive the company to further deepen its strategic layout in the R&D of core special-purpose autonomous driving technologies, the expansion of high-end product matrix, and the construction of an integrated ecosystem of "autonomous driving + intelligent manufacturing."
Since its establishment in 2015, Velobotics has always focused on the R&D and application of special-purpose autonomous driving technology. Its core team is from the Department of Automotive Engineering of Tsinghua University, with profound accumulation in key fields such as unmanned system architecture, multi-sensor deep fusion, and vehicle planning and control algorithms. To date, Velobotics has obtained more than 1,200 patents, of which invention patents account for over 60%, and has participated in the formulation of a number of national and industry-related standards.
In terms of commercialization advancement, Velobotics has successfully applied its autonomous driving technology and related products to multiple fields including public security, living services, and intelligent mobility, with the commercial operation mileage of its autonomous driving vehicles exceeding 130 million kilometers. In specific scenarios such as emergency rescue, environmental sanitation, and urban mobility, its solutions have achieved large-scale replication and all-weather stable operation, effectively improving operational efficiency and safety.
From the perspective of the global technological evolution path, unmanned upgrading is deeply integrating with digitalization and intelligence, jointly driving transformations in production and service models across all industries—a trend that is irreversible. With its dual-drive model of "technology platform + scenario-based products" and large-scale verified commercial implementation capabilities, Velobotics is continuously deepening its strategic closed loop of "technology empowerment, ecological co-construction, and value realization." The completion of this round of financing will inject key momentum into its accelerated core technology iteration, expansion of high-end product matrix, and deepening of industrial ecological cooperation, further consolidating its leading position in the special-purpose autonomous driving track.
