The development of Robotaxi China is gaining momentum as CaoCao Inc. announced on February 11 that the number of Robotaxi vehicles operating in Hangzhou’s Binjiang District has reached 100. The fleet is supported by the company’s Green Intelligent Mobility Hub, marking an important step in the transition from pilot operations to large-scale commercial deployment.

CaoCao serves as Geely Holding Group’s key commercial platform for Robotaxi China and has established a structured three-stage development roadmap. In the first stage, the company focused on technology validation and limited pilot programs. It is now entering a new phase that emphasizes the transition from safety-driver-supported services to fully driverless operations, while also testing mixed fleets that include both autonomous and human-driven vehicles. In the long term, CaoCao plans to introduce fully purpose-built Robotaxi models and expand large-scale commercial services globally, strengthening the global presence of Robotaxi China.

Reaching a fleet size of 100 vehicles in Hangzhou represents an early but meaningful milestone in the company’s Robotaxi 2.0 strategy. As the fleet continues to expand, CaoCao will focus on improving service reliability, optimizing operational workflows and enhancing the passenger experience. At the same time, the company has launched the world’s first Green Intelligent Mobility Hub in the city. The facility integrates automated battery swapping, self-cleaning functions, in-vehicle tidying, intelligent dispatching and automated billing, allowing the company to improve operational efficiency while also building the infrastructure needed for large-scale Robotaxi China operations.

Looking ahead, CaoCao plans to gradually extend the operating hours of its Robotaxi services and expand coverage areas across the city. The company will also introduce its CaoCao Intelligent Mobility RAS remote safety platform and fully implement an intelligent asset management system. By combining operational capabilities with smart cockpit and autonomous driving technologies, CaoCao aims to establish a complete closed-loop system for driverless Robotaxi operations and accelerate the large-scale rollout of Robotaxi China.

In addition to strengthening its domestic presence, the company is also expanding its international cooperation efforts. CaoCao has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and plans to open a local office in Abu Dhabi this year. Through partnerships with local institutions, the company will explore pilot programs for autonomous driving and green mobility technologies and bring the experience of Robotaxi China to international markets.

At the same time, CaoCao is working together with Geely and other partners to develop a fully purpose-built Robotaxi model equipped with dedicated autonomous driving hardware and software. The new vehicle is expected to debut this year, and the company aims to deploy 100,000 units by 2030. Green Intelligent Mobility Hubs will also be introduced alongside the expansion of the Robotaxi business, providing automated support for every aspect of operations and helping to build an integrated “sky–ground–space” mobility ecosystem.

With a strategy that combines intelligent purpose-built vehicles, advanced autonomous driving technology and smart operational systems, CaoCao Inc. is steadily expanding Robotaxi China and contributing to a greener, smarter and more efficient future for urban transportation.
