MUSCAT, Oman — September 4, 2026 — Zelostech, the world’s largest RoboVan enterprise and a global leader in autonomous logistics technology, and Asyad Group, Oman’s integrated logistics group, have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities for advancing autonomous logistics in Oman and supporting the modernization of the country’s logistics infrastructure.

Together, the two parties will explore the deployment and development of autonomous logistics solutions across Oman, with the shared ambition of contributing to a smarter, more efficient, ad more sustainable logistics ecosystem.

For us at Zelostech, this MoU represents an important step in our global journey to make autonomous logistics part of the infrastructure that moves cities, industries, and economies forward.

A Strategic Partnership Aligned with Oman Vision 2040

Our partnership with ASYAD reflects a strong alignment between Zelostech’s capabilities and Oman’s long-term development priorities. Oman Vision 2040 provides the national framework for the Sultanate’s long-term economic and social development, with priorities including economic diversification, logistics and trade connectivity, infrastructure development, and the adoption of advanced technologies.

Within this broader national agenda, ASYAD plays an important role in supporting the implementation of Oman Vision 2040 and advancing the Sultanate’s economic transformation. Its mandate includes investing for sustainable economic development and supporting the diversification and competitiveness of Oman’s economy.

Our MoU is an opportunity to connect advanced autonomous mobility technology with Oman’s national development priorities and contribute to the modernization of the country’s logistics ecosystem. By combining technology, investment capabilities, and logistics infrastructure, we aim to explore how autonomous mobility can support Oman’s transition toward a more connected, technology-enabled, and future-ready logistics sector.

Why Asyad: Connecting Oman to Global Trade

At the center of Oman’s logistics transformation is Asyad Group, one of the country’s leading integrated logistics platforms. Asyad plays a central role in connecting Oman to regional and global trade through an integrated portfolio spanning shipping, ports, logistics, transportation, warehousing, and other supply chain services. Its logistics ecosystem includes major ports, free zones, economic zones, transportation networks, and logistics operations, providing a strong physical and operational foundation for the development of next-generation logistics solutions.

Asyad is also pursuing an ambitious long-term vision for Oman’s logistics sector, with the goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 integrated logistics service providers by 2040.

For Zelostech, this makes Asyad much more than a local logistics partner. Asyad provides the infrastructure, logistics expertise, operational network, and real-world commercial environments where autonomous technology can create tangible value. Zelostech, in turn, brings autonomous driving technology, RoboVan products, and experience in deploying autonomous logistics solutions at scale.


Together, we can bridge the gap between autonomous driving technology and the physical logistics infrastructure where it delivers real-world value.

From Technology Validation to Commercial Deployment

Oman also provides an important real-world environment for us to further validate our autonomous logistics technology.

Its combination of high temperatures, arid conditions, long-distance transportation routes, and rapidly developing logistics infrastructure presents both challenges and opportunities for autonomous vehicles.

Through our collaboration with Asyad, we will have the opportunity to further validate:

  • Vehicle and product performance under real-world operating conditions;

  • Autonomous driving capabilities across different logistics environments;

  • Fleet deployment and operational models for commercial autonomous transportation;

  • Integration between autonomous vehicles and logistics infrastructure; and

  • Local regulatory and operational frameworks for autonomous logistics.


Each deployment should move us closer to a scalable model for autonomous logistics, one that can be replicated across Oman and, ultimately, across other markets in the Middle East and beyond.


A Shared Vision for the Future of Logistics

Our partnership with Asyad reflects a broader belief at Zelostech: The future of autonomous driving is both about vehicles and infrastructure. As autonomous technology continues to mature, its greatest value will come from becoming deeply integrated into the systems that move goods and people, connecting physical infrastructure, digital intelligence, and autonomous mobility into one ecosystem.

Together with Asyad, we look forward to contributing our technology, experience, and global perspective to Oman’s logistics transformation, while learning from the market and building solutions that can scale beyond it.

“We are excited to partner with ASYAD as we enter Oman and take another important step in our global expansion,” said Emmett Tian, GM of Zelostech Oman. “Asyad’s integrated logistics capabilities and strategic position in Oman make it an ideal partner for us. Together, we can move beyond deploying autonomous vehicles and work toward building the autonomous logistics infrastructure of the future.”

For Asyad, the partnership represents an opportunity to integrate advanced autonomous mobility technologies into Oman’s growing logistics ecosystem and further enhance the efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability of its operations.


From autonomous vehicles to autonomous logistics networks, Zelostech is committed to working with partners like Asyad to build, connect, and share the logistics infrastructure of the future. In Oman, across the Middle East, and around the world.
