EZGO Teams Up to Launch Autonomous Commercial Vehicles by 2027
EZGO Technologies Ltd. has signed a major partnership to develop autonomous commercial vehicles for the U.S. market. The agreement teams up the Nasdaq-listed company with Autotrax.ai Inc. and Zhejiang Hengyuan Machinery Co., Ltd. Together, they plan to launch all-weather autonomous logistics vehicles by early 2027. The collaboration brings together key technologies from each partner. EZGO contributes expertise in high-performance lithium battery packs and intelligent vehicle control systems. The company also supports North American business growth and plans a strategic equity investment in Autotrax.ai to aid its U.S. expansion.
Autotrax.ai adds autonomous driving technology and a California-based manufacturing facility. All co-developed vehicles will be assembled at this site. Zhejiang Hengyuan provides its proprietary iChassis wire-controlled platform, which holds full intellectual property rights.
Under the agreement, the three firms will create a vertically integrated solution. This covers lithium battery packs, smart electric vehicle controls, and autonomous driving systems. Once EZGO’s investment is finalised, it will gain the right to appoint a director to Autotrax.ai’s board. The partnership targets the growing North American market for autonomous commercial vehicles. Production is set to begin in the first half of 2027, with all assembly taking place in California. EZGO’s CEO, Ye Jianhui, stated that the alliance positions the companies to capitalise on rapid industry changes in the region.
