Pony.ai has unveiled its fourth-generation (Gen-4) autonomous truck lineup, which was developed in collaboration with manufacturing partners including SANY Truck.
The new Gen-4 autonomous trucks will utilise 100% automotive-grade components, reducing the build cost per vehicle by approximately 70% when compared to the previous generation (Gen-3).
With a system designed for a service life of 20,000 hours; the first two models of the new series will be built on battery-electric vehicle platforms, which have been designed for mass production on the thousand-unit scale.
Initial fleet deployment is expected in 2026, expanding Pony.ai’s fleet solutions across China.
Utilising the fully redundant design and safety standards utilized in Pony.ai’s latest generation Robotaxi; the new autonomous trucks will come equipped with a fully redundant drive-by-wire chassis featuring comprehensive redundancy across six key systems—steering, braking, communication, power supply, computing, and sensors.
The trucks will undergo intensive testing, including electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, high-temperature, and extreme-cold tests.
