About Pony Intelligence

In November 2016, Peng Jun and Lou Tiancheng officially founded Pony.ai, which is committed to providing safe, advanced and reliable full-stack autonomous driving technology. It has built three core businesses: autonomous driving travel services, autonomous driving trucks, and intelligent driving business for passenger cars. In December 2020, the Pony.ai Business Unit was established and operated independently. The L4 autonomous driving truck was driven on the Beijing-Taipei Expressway, which was also the first time in China that an autonomous driving truck was tested on a real highway permitted by the policy. In April 2021, it officially obtained the freight road transport business license issued by the Nansha District Transportation Bureau of Guangzhou, and has started commercial operations. The Pony.ai Truck Business Unit reached a cooperation with the Commercial Vehicle Control System Business Unit of ZF. In July 2021, Pony.ai obtained the Beijing Autonomous Driving Truck Test License and Highway Test Permit. In August 2021, the Pearl River Delta-Yangtze River Delta Expressway Trunk Transport Cooperation Verification Project was officially launched. The one-way distance is about 1,400 kilometers, which is the first long-distance autonomous driving trunk transport verification project in China. In 2022, the company will start to build a smart logistics fleet, with more than 100 smart trucks joining the logistics service. In November 2022, Pony.ai officially released the third-generation autonomous driving truck hardware and software integration system, which has been first applied to the first autonomous driving heavy-duty truck product jointly built by Pony.ai and Sany Heavy Truck. It is produced by Yiji Smart Truck, a joint venture established by the two parties, and the first batch of smart trucks was delivered to Qingzhui Logistics on the same day.
