ALS Launches Level 4 Autonomous, RoboVan; Starts Six-Month Trial At Cyberjaya

Autonomous Logistic Solutions (ALS) unveiled its Level 4 autonomous RoboVan, the first of its kind in Malaysia to operate on public roads with a valid license plate. The launch took place during Transport Expo Asia 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). However, the ALS RoboVan will not hit the streets immediately; it is set to commence a six-month trial on a 22km Cyberjaya Malaysia Autonomous Vehicle (MyAV) testing route filled with mixed traffic.

Throughout the trial, ALS will meticulously monitor the RoboVan’s performance, including operational hours, distance traveled, trips completed, system interventions, and other key performance indicators. These data will be tracked from a Remote Operations Centre for autonomous logistics in Cyberjaya, a facility jointly established by Sidec, ALS, and Cyberview in July 2026.

The RoboVan’s technology is sourced from Zelsotech, with ALS acting as the local strategic partner responsible for localisation and operations in Malaysia. Essentially, the vehicle resembles a small shipping container mounted on wheels, equipped with a suite of cameras, radar, and LiDAR technology. This setup enables the RoboVan to detect obstacles up to 100 meters away, ensuring safe operation even in challenging conditions like rain, fog, and low-light situations.

The Z10 Freight model, as detailed on ALS's website, boasts a payload capacity of 1,500 kg and a cargo volume of 10 m³. It can achieve a top speed of 55 km/h and charges its battery pack in just 3 hours. The battery pack is rated at 34.5 kWh. Due to its autonomous nature, there is no space allocated for passengers; a clear sign on the vehicle explicitly states "No passengers allowed".
