Neolix Gains Malaysia Approval for Autonomous Delivery Trials in Cyberjaya
Event summary
- Neolix approved by Malaysia's Ministry of Transport for autonomous delivery vehicle trials in Cyberjaya, starting in late June 2026.
- Trials will evaluate vehicle performance across closed-road, semi-open, and public-road environments in Cyberjaya and other locations.
- Partnerships include Tiong Nam Logistics, Asia Mobiliti, and MindHub for use cases like express parcel delivery and e-commerce fulfilment.
- Neolix aims to establish operational standards and deployment models for future commercial expansion across Southeast Asia.
The big picture
Neolix's approval in Malaysia comes as Southeast Asia accelerates investment in AI, robotics, and smart mobility infrastructure. The region's e-commerce economy is projected to grow from USD 184 billion in 2024 to USD 410 billion by 2030, driven by labor shortages and increasing pressure on urban fulfilment networks. Neolix's expansion strategy positions it as a key player in redefining urban logistics across dense Asian markets.
