HangZhou, China, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On April 24, China’s first purpose-built Robotaxi, the Eva Cab, made its official debut at Auto China 2026. Developed from the ground up exclusively for autonomous driving operation scenarios, the model integrates Geely’s robust R&D and manufacturing capabilities for intelligent electric vehicles, Qianli Haohan’s G-ASD L4 autonomous driving system, and CaoCao’s decade of operational and service insights in shared mobility.
Deeply involved in the product definition and R&D of China’s first Purpose-Built Robotaxi, CaoCao has drawn fully on its proven experience with existing custom vehicles in substantially reducing vehicle TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). It has comprehensively optimized exterior design, cabin spatial logic, human-machine interaction systems and overall vehicle durability, while building multiple safety redundancies to secure all-round leadership in cost, safety, user experience and operational efficiency. Scheduled for mass production in 2027, CaoCao plans to deploy a total of 100,000 units by 2030.
Gong Xin, CEO of CaoCao, stated: “CaoCao has always led the transformation of the shared mobility industry through technological innovation and operational practice. The newly unveiled Robotaxi marks a crucial step in the implementation of a full-coverage closed-loop ecosystem of purpose-built intelligent vehicles, intelligent driving technology and intelligent operations. We will fully leverage our operational strengths and partner with Geely Auto Group and other collaborators to build a Robotaxi fleet truly “designed for operations”. With world-class products and services, we will deliver safer, more convenient and greener intelligent mobility experiences for users worldwide.”
As the flagship masterpiece of Geely’s All-Scenario AI 2.0 technology system, Eva Cab is equipped with the world’s first quantum-level AI E/E architecture. Adopting quantum encryption technology, it delivers end-to-end quantum-grade security protection for vehicle-cloud links, covering high-frequency scenarios including Bluetooth keys, remote vehicle control, OTA upgrades and data privacy protection. It also features the industry-first SOVD integrated vehicle-cloud diagnostic technology, establishing a full-lifecycle proactive safety protection system for users. Engineered with forward-looking multiple redundancies for steering, braking, power supply and computing platforms from the initial design phase, the vehicle is fitted with sensor self-cleaning and dual-redundant by-wire systems. It fundamentally eliminates hidden faults caused by retrofit solutions at the physical level, building a solid safety foundation for fully driverless operations.
