As autonomous driving technology accelerates toward deployment and commercialization, the market for low-speed autonomous vehicles is experiencing explosive growth.
According to public data compiled by the Low-Speed Automated Driving Industry Alliance (LSAD) and the New Strategy Low-Speed Automated Driving Industry Research Institute, the total volume of publicly verifiable orders across the industry exceeded 57,000 units between January 1 and June 30, 2026 (excluding undisclosed deals and pending tender projects). The top three companies alone secured nearly 50,000 of these orders, highlighting significant market concentration.
The summary of major industry orders in H1 2026 is as follows:
Among the top 10 Chinese companies, RoboVans dominate the landscape; four of the top five firms specialize in this category, securing a combined total of 54,000 orders, representing over 95% of the total order volume on the list.
Geely Farizon claimed the top spot with 26,000 orders; its RoboVans are already operating at scale across multiple cities, serving sectors such as express delivery, supermarkets, and food service. Go Further.AI followed closely with 15,000 orders, demonstrating strong deployment capabilities in last-mile and industrial park delivery scenarios. MINIEYE ranked third with 8,300 orders, showcasing its strength in expanding into diverse application scenarios.
Niche markets such as unmanned mining, sanitation, and port operations are also gradually opening up. UTOPILOT ranked sixth with 1,020 orders for unmanned mining trucks; CiDi and Boonray tied for seventh place, each securing 500 orders for unmanned mining trucks; WeRide took ninth place with 300 orders for autonomous sweepers; and Senior ranked tenth with 260 orders for ATTs. These figures signal that the adoption of unmanned technology in closed or semi-closed environments such as ports and mines is entering a phase of large-scale deployment.
The order data for the first half of 2026 reveals that leading companies each secured over 1,000 orders, reflecting robust market demand for stable, reliable, and scalable unmanned vehicle solutions. Furthermore, most of the companies on the list maintain close partnerships with OEMs, logistics platforms, and government bodies, creating an integrated “vehicle-cloud-operations” closed-loop system, which indicates that synergy between technology and the ecosystem is the key to achieving a breakthrough.
The 6th Low-Speed Autonomous Driving Scenario Ecosystem Co-construction and Expansion Conference 2026 will be held by LSAD from July 23 to 24, 2026, at the Sheraton Hefei Xinzhan Hotel. The event will bring together OEMs, solution providers, end-users, and key industry representatives to deeply explore the critical path from pilot validation to large-scale commercialization and to envision the future of unmanned operations. Stay tuned!
