KargoBot launches mixed freight network in Ordos with cabless robots

KargoBot said it started a scaled AI freight network in Qipanjing, a town in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, combining human-driven trucks, autonomous trucks with cabs and cabless transport robots on one system. The company cites a fleet of about 100 driverless trucks, routes reaching Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi, and a target of lifting per-vehicle economic gain from 20% to over 30%.

• Network mixes three vehicle types: manned, cabbed autonomous and cabless robots
• Fleet is on the order of 100 driverless trucks across six provinces
• One AI navigator can lead up to five follower trucks in a 100m+ convoy
• Dropping the cab frees about 25% more cargo space, company says
