Small ‘ears’, square ‘body’, wearing ‘white clothes’, with ‘Zelos’ and ‘Nantong High-tech Holding Group’ characters on its ‘clothes’...on 19th August, a white car made its debut on the street of Tongzhou, and became ‘the most handsome boy’ among the traffic flow.
What caught everyone's attention is not just its cute design, but also the fact that this vehicle has no cabin and no driver. It is an unmanned logistics vehicle.
The car is a Zelos unmanned car introduced by Nantong High-tech Holding Group and Zelos (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. which reached strategic cooperation. Zhang Feng, a staff member, introduced that the car belonged to Zelos Technology Z5 series. The cargo space is 5 cubic meters. The maximum speed is 40 km per hour. A green license plate is hung on it. It is equipped with 4 scanning cameras, and 1 induction radar on the top. There will be voice prompts for starting, braking, turning left and right, etc. It will slow down in advance when encountering traffic lights, obstacles, intersections, etc.
‘When the unmanned vehicle is driving on the road, the equipped radar responds at millisecond-level speed, and the high-precision map positioning is measured in centimeters. Staff members are also remotely monitoring in the background, and in the event of an abnormal situation, the vehicle will respond promptly to ensure safety.’
At present, the unmanned logistics vehicle is in trial operation at Jiangsu Dashenlin Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Co., Ltd.
