NEWBASE Z8^Max Series Robovan: The Ultimate Autonomous Logistics Solution for Industrial and Urban Scale

As global supply chains evolve toward automation, sustainability, and operational efficiency, NEWBASE presents the Z8^Max Series Robovan—a high-capacity, Level 4 autonomous electric vehicle engineered for large-scale logistics operations. Designed to meet the demands of major distribution centers, industrial campuses, factory ports, and mining zones, the Z8^Max sets a new benchmark in intelligent freight transportation.

With its robust build, advanced autonomy, and unmatched cargo capacity, the Z8^Max is not just an autonomous delivery vehicle—it’s a strategic asset for modernizing logistics infrastructure across urban and industrial environments.

Engineered for Heavy-Duty, High-Efficiency Operations

The Z8^Max is a purpose-built large box truck designed specifically for palletized loading and unloading, enabling seamless integration into automated warehouse systems and industrial logistics networks. Its three-door configuration allows flexible access from multiple sides, supporting efficient handling by forklifts, pallet jacks, or automated material handling equipment.

Ideal applications include:

• Large urban open roads and parks
• Factory and port logistics hubs
• Mining area connections
• Cross-dock operations and inter-facility shuttles

This vehicle is built to operate continuously throughout the day and night, reducing reliance on manual labor while improving throughput and safety in high-risk environments.

According to a 2023 report by McKinsey & Company, companies adopting autonomous logistics solutions can reduce labor costs by up to 40% and increase delivery efficiency by over 30%—making vehicles like the Z8^Max essential tools for future-ready logistics fleets.

Level 4 Autonomy Meets Real-World Complexity

The Z8^Max operates at SAE Level 4 autonomy, meaning it can perform all driving functions under specific conditions without human intervention. It leverages a comprehensive suite of intelligent technologies:

• High-definition HD maps with real-time localization
• Multi-sensor fusion perception (LiDAR, stereo cameras, radar) for 360° environmental awareness
• Advanced behavior prediction algorithms to anticipate traffic patterns and pedestrian movement
• Autonomous decision-making systems that enable safe navigation through complex intersections, construction zones, and mixed-traffic areas

These capabilities allow the Z8^Max to operate safely and efficiently in both structured environments (e.g., warehouses, docks) and semi-structured urban settings, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and downtime.

Its IP55 waterproof rating ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, and dusty conditions, while its operating temperature range of -30°C to 60°C makes it suitable for deployment across diverse climates—from Arctic winters to desert heatwaves.

Unrivaled Payload and Cargo Capacity

Designed for maximum utility, the Z8^Max offers industry-leading specifications tailored for heavy-duty logistics:

Note: Optional external charger available for faster turnaround. Fully compatible with national standard EV charging infrastructure.

Sustainable Powertrain & Fast-Charging Flexibility

Powered by lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the Z8^Max delivers exceptional energy density, thermal stability, and longevity—key advantages for commercial fleets. LFP technology, widely adopted in China’s leading EV manufacturers such as BYD and CATL, offers over 3,000 charge cycles with minimal degradation, ensuring long-term cost-effectiveness and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

With a maximum range of 260 km when unloaded and 190 km in urban comprehensive driving, the Z8^Max supports full-day operations without frequent recharging. Charging options include:

• Standard AC charging: 11.5 hours (34.8 kWh) / 15 hours (46 kWh)
• Fast-charging mode: 7–9 hours or 3–4 hours with optional external charger

The inclusion of a portable 16A charging gun enhances flexibility, allowing field charging at remote locations or temporary depots.

Robust Design for Harsh Environments

The Z8^Max is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use:

• 380 mm maximum wading depth enables traversal of flooded roads or wet mining sites
• Mechanical rod lock system provides secure cargo containment during transit
• Sturdy chassis and reinforced body structure ensure durability under heavy loads
• Low center of gravity improves stability on uneven terrain and steep inclines

Its 10 m³ cargo volume and 1450 kg payload capacity make it one of the most capable autonomous vehicles in its class—ideal for transporting bulk goods, machinery components, raw materials, and finished products.
