Chinese autonomous driving company Momenta has introduced robovans for autonomous parcel delivery in Suzhou's Xiangcheng district, the company announced on July 29, 2026. The vehicles operate 24/7 and are designed to handle last-mile logistics without human drivers.

According to Momenta, the robovan is built on its R7 World Model and uses a 'map-free' approach that does not rely on high-definition maps. The company said the service represents 'driverless logistics that close the critical last mile in urban supply chains.'

Momenta draws on a large dataset of over 12 billion km of real-world driving data collected from production passenger vehicles equipped with its autonomous driving solutions. From this data, the company has distilled more than 100 million high-quality 'golden' data segments for training.

The launch marks an expansion of Momenta's autonomous driving efforts, which have focused on robotaxis since 2021. The company stated that it aims to build a foundational World Model platform for passenger cars, robovans, robotaxis, robotrucks, and embodied intelligence, with a goal of doubling logistics and mobility efficiency within ten years.
