Autonomous Delivery Solutions Expand With Stellantis Pro One

Stellantis Pro One and UQI Robotics Target Autonomous Logistics

On September 11, Stellantis Pro One announced a collaboration with UQI Robotics in China to investigate autonomous delivery solutions for logistics operators and professional customers. The initiative will initially concentrate on European markets, while the companies may consider additional international markets at a later stage. The collaboration brings together Stellantis Pro One’s commercial vehicle expertise and UQI Robotics’ capabilities in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The companies will use the partnership to examine new approaches for logistics operations, particularly applications connected with last-mile deliveries and evolving commercial transportation requirements.

Box-on-Wheels Development Adds a Key Focus

A major element of the collaboration is the further development of Box-on-Wheels, described as an autonomous logistics vehicle that will be unveiled at IAA Transportation 2026 in Germany. The vehicle provides a platform for exploring how autonomous technology can be incorporated into logistics activities while supporting the operational requirements of professional customers. The companies intend to investigate the vehicle and associated technologies as part of their broader work on autonomous delivery applications. Its planned unveiling at the industry event will provide an opportunity to present the concept while the partnership continues evaluating potential applications and future development requirements.

Testing Will Combine Multiple Technologies

The project will evaluate how autonomous driving, electrification, connectivity, and digital services can operate together within future logistics operations. Initial testing in Europe will be used to assess system performance, customer benefits, and scalability before the companies consider potential expansion into other international markets. This testing approach is intended to provide practical evidence about how the technologies function in logistics environments rather than treating autonomous driving as an isolated capability. The assessment will therefore consider the combined technology package and its potential usefulness for professional customers operating delivery activities that require efficient, connected, and increasingly automated transportation solutions.

UQI Robotics to Provide Core Autonomous Technologies

Under the collaboration, UQI Robotics will contribute the core autonomous, software, and sensing technologies needed for the project. Miracle will support the effort with expertise covering intelligent equipment, battery packs, and recycling services. These contributions complement Stellantis Pro One’s commercial vehicle knowledge and create a combined technology and vehicle-development approach for the planned logistics applications. The partnership is consequently structured around several connected areas, including vehicle capability, autonomous systems, software, sensing, electrification-related equipment, and supporting services. The companies will use these capabilities to explore how an integrated solution can address practical requirements for autonomous logistics and last-mile delivery operations.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The collaboration could help shape how commercial vehicle manufacturers and technology companies approach autonomous logistics by testing the integration of driving automation, electrification, connectivity, and digital services in real operating environments. Europe will be the initial proving ground, giving the companies an opportunity to evaluate customer value and scalability before considering other markets. For logistics operators and professional customers, the significance will depend on whether testing demonstrates practical performance and operational benefits. The next stage will therefore center on testing outcomes, further Box-on-Wheels development, and evidence that the combined technology package can scale beyond initial European applications.
