Autonomous Logistics Leader Takes the Global Crown — Zelostech Accelerates Its Middle East Strategy
Dubai, 28 September 2025 — at the Dubai World Trade Centre, a world-class event shaping the future of mobility has just concluded. During the Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport, Zelostech reached a new milestone in its global expansion strategy.
The company not only won the top honor in the prestigious Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport, becoming the only autonomous delivery vehicle company to receive this distinction, but also signed a milestone agreement with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). In addition, Zelostech held a series of high-level meetings to deepen strategic cooperation with partners such as Emirates Post Group’s 7X.
The 25 Zelostech Z5 RoboVans showcased at the event stood as tangible proof of how intelligent logistics solutions are now deeply integrated into Dubai’s future city vision. As the world’s largest RoboVan company, and the creator and global No.1 brand of the RoboVan category, Zelostech has become the preferred partner for global logistics brands thanks to its speed, efficiency, advanced technology, and closed-loop data capabilities.
The event was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council. As a key pillar of the “Dubai 2030 Vision”, the Congress aims to accelerate the city’s target of converting 25% of all mobility into autonomous modes, bringing together world leaders from policy, technology, and industry to co-create the next chapter of smart transportation.
In the presence of Dubai’s royal family, Zelostech was crowned the grand winner of the global competition, setting a new benchmark for excellence in autonomous delivery. Mr. Zhou Tao, Head of Overseas Operations at Zelostech, accepted the award on behalf of the company — an achievement that not only confirms Zelostech’s technical leadership but also represents the highest level of recognition from decision-makers in the Middle East market for autonomous logistics solutions.
The Dubai World Challenge (DWC) is known as the “Olympics of Autonomous Driving”, renowned for its rigorous evaluation criteria. Competing companies are assessed across dimensions such as strategic vision, technological innovation, commercial potential, safety, environmental sustainability, user experience, and multi-modal integration, through multiple rounds of on-site verification across different regions.
After six months of intense competition, only five teams advanced to the final stage — with Zelostech as the sole independent participant, showcasing its fully self-developed technology stack and end-to-end capabilities.
As the only autonomous delivery vehicle company to win this prestigious honor, Zelostech proudly demonstrates that innovation is now an essential driving force in the global race toward smart cities.
By pioneering the RoboVan category and achieving stable, large-scale deployment in diverse global environments, Zelostech has proven its platform’s technological maturity, adaptability, and leadership, laying a solid foundation for its accelerated expansion across the Middle East.
