Malaysian courier and logistics provider Pos Malaysia has agreed a new partnership to deploy Malaysia’s first autonomous logistics vehicle.
The partnership is with Autonomous Logistic Solutions (ALS) and as part of the collaborative agreement, both parties will undertake a six-month proof of concept trial.
Within this trial, a Zelos autonomous vehicle (AV) supplied by ALS will be used within Pos Malaysia’s operational environment.
Zelos operates more than 15,000 autonomous vehicles across countries including China, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.
Reportedly, ALS is the exclusive Malaysian partner responsible for bringing, localising, and operationalising Zelos vehicles in Malaysia.
The Zelos vehicle has been designed for B2B goods transportation, particularly high-volume, repetitive, point-to-point delivery operations.
The trial is supported by the ministry of transport, road transport department (JPJ) and Futuris to ensure alignment with regulatory, safety and national autonomous vehicle frameworks.
Group chief executive officer of Pos Malaysia, Charles Brewer, said, “Today, we are not just launching an autonomous vehicle, we are launching Malaysia into a new era of logistics.
“This autonomous pioneer is a testament to our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and serving our nation’s future.
“We are immensely proud to lead this transformative journey, and we are energised by the potential it unlocks for our customers and for the entire country. This is the first mile of a very long and exciting road ahead for Pos Malaysia.”
