NEWBASE Z8 Series Autonomous Robotic Van: Redefining Urban & Industrial Logistics Efficiency
As global logistics demand surges, the need for intelligent, adaptable, and high-performance last-mile solutions has never been more critical. NEWBASE, a trailblazer in autonomous mobility technology, proudly introduces the Z8 Series Autonomous Robotic Van—a next-generation logistics vehicle engineered to master diverse environments, from bustling urban corridors to challenging industrial sites. Blending cutting-edge autonomy, robust engineering, and versatile design, the Z8 Series sets a new standard for reliability and efficiency in modern supply chains.
Product Positioning & Core Mission
The Z8 Series is purpose-built for urban distribution and industrial logistics, with a focus on seamless platform integration and forklift-compatible loading/unloading. Its mission: to eliminate operational bottlenecks, reduce human error, and enable 24/7 logistics execution in both controlled and confined spaces—including mining areas, indoor platforms, and narrow urban zones.
Key Technical Innovations & Safety Features
At the core of the Z8 Series lies NEWBASE’s advanced autonomous driving system, integrating:
Multi-Sensor Fusion Perception: Leveraging LiDAR, cameras, and radar, the system detects obstacles with millimeter precision, enabling autonomous evasive maneuvers in real time.
AI-Powered Decision-Making: Trained on vast urban and industrial datasets, the AI optimizes path planning, speed control, and payload management to ensure safety in high-traffic or tight-space scenarios.
Platform Connectivity: Seamless integration with logistics management platforms allows for remote monitoring, route optimization, and automated task assignment, boosting fleet efficiency by up to 30% (per industry benchmarks).
Product Overview: Versatility Across Scenarios
The Z8 Series (2025 edition) features three flying-wing door variants supporting both standard and extended-range configurations, making it adaptable to varied operational needs:
General Urban Delivery: Optimized for last-mile e-commerce and retail distribution.
Industrial & Mining Logistics: Built to handle rough terrain, heavy loads, and extreme environments.
Indoor/Outdoor Hybrid Operations: Compact dimensions and high maneuverability enable smooth transitions between warehouses, parks, and urban roads.
1500kg/1400kg Load Capacity: Dual payload options (standard/extended range) balance weight and range efficiency.
Forklift-Compatible Design: Integrated loading docks and reinforced floors simplify automated or manual loading/unloading, reducing turnaround times by 25%.
Autonomy & Mobility
Advanced Obstacle Avoidance: Sensitive detection of pedestrians, cyclists, and static barriers prevents collisions in enclosed areas like mines or warehouses.
All-Terrain Capability: With a 5.4m minimum turning radius, 20% climbing gradient, 380mm wading depth, and 154mm ground clearance, the Z8 navigates tight corners, slopes, and shallow water with ease.
Detailed Technical Specifications
The table below encapsulates the Z8 Series’ engineering prowess, highlighting its adaptability across use cases:
Urban Last-Mile Delivery: Navigates crowded streets and indoor loading docks, reducing delivery times for e-commerce and retail.
Industrial Logistics: Excels in factories, warehouses, and mining areas, where its obstacle avoidance and all-terrain design ensure uninterrupted material transport.
Hybrid Indoor/Outdoor Operations: Seamlessly transitions between campus-like environments and public roads, ideal for corporate campuses or large-scale distribution hubs.
