7X & Zelostech Launch ‘AutoLogiX’ for Autonomous Transport in the Middle East

06 Nov 2025 CW Team

In its first phase, AutoLogiX will roll out Level 4 autonomous cargo vehicles—purpose-built with no cab, steering wheel, or driver—signalling a major shift from traditional vans and trucks to faster, safer, and more sustainable logistics solutions. Initially, these vehicles will support EMX, 7X’s logistics arm, across the UAE. A phased expansion will follow across the GCC and wider Middle East, with future offerings including last-mile delivery solutions, mobile smart locker networks, and integrated air-freight logistics designed to enhance efficiency, enable off-peak operations, and reduce emissions per parcel.

Tariq Al Wahedi, Group CEO of 7X, said: “Our partnership with Zelostech reflects the power of uniting operational expertise with advanced technology. AutoLogiX is a major step toward transforming the regional logistics landscape with Level 4 autonomous mobility, reinforcing the UAE’s digital transformation ambitions and its vision for a sustainable future.”

Kong Qi, CEO of Zelostech, added: “This joint venture marks a milestone in our strategic collaboration with 7X and highlights their confidence in our technology and solutions. With more than 50 million kilometers of safe autonomous operation achieved and a global deployment expected to exceed 20,000 vehicles this year, we look forward to helping advance smart-logistics transformation across the UAE and the Middle East.”

Laith Tahboub, General Manager of EMX, commented: “Partnering with AutoLogiX enables EMX to integrate next-generation autonomous mobility into our logistics network. Level 4 vehicles will strengthen our middle-mile operations, enhance safety, and support the UAE’s smart transport vision while delivering sustainable, efficient performance.”

This milestone reinforces the UAE’s growing leadership in smart transportation, supporting its long-term goals of building competitive, tech-driven supply chains and accelerating the transition toward low-carbon, smart cities.
