White Rhino has completed its Series C1 financing to accelerate the global layout of automotive-grade RoboVans in industrial scenarios.
On May 6th, White Rhino announced the completion of its Series C1 financing round. This round of financing was jointly invested by a leading global logistics industry capital as a strategic investor, Shenzhen Nanshan Strategic and New Investment, and existing shareholders such as Yuanhe Hope, among others. The funds will be mainly used for the R & D and iteration of core technologies, the large - scale mass production of vehicle - grade products, the commercial expansion in multiple scenarios, and the global market layout.
Linear Capital was the lead investor in White Rhino's Pre - A round and has continued to increase its investment in subsequent rounds.
As a leading enterprise in vehicle - grade RoboVans, White Rhino's financing this time not only reflects the high recognition of its core technologies and commercial potential by capital but also marks the accelerated improvement of the super - ecosystem of "technology + scenario + capital". This will further consolidate the company's position in the field of autonomous unmanned freight and promote the high - quality development of the intelligent logistics industry.
White Rhino has achieved remarkable results in product mass production and scenario expansion recently: it has established the world's first RoboVan OEM; it has launched large - scale unmanned freight operations with Huolala; and it has reached a cooperation with SF Express Same - City to cover high - timeliness instant delivery scenarios such as supermarkets, fresh produce, and retail.
The investors in this financing round include industrial capital with in - depth industry experience, government capital that empowers science and technology innovation, and existing shareholders who continue to show strong confidence, forming a powerful combination of capital and resources, which lays a solid foundation for White Rhino to build a super - ecosystem of "technology + scenario + capital".
Among them, the strategic investor is a leading global logistics infrastructure and technology operation service provider, with far - reaching layouts in fields such as logistics warehousing and green computing power, covering core regions and possessing rich scenario resources and operational experience. After this investment, the two parties will deeply integrate intelligent logistics scenarios. Relying on the investor's network and infrastructure advantages and combining White Rhino's L4 - level autonomous driving technology, they will promote the large - scale application of unmanned freight, create a benchmark for the synergy of "technology + scenario", and make autonomous driving technology truly implemented in every logistics link.
Shenzhen Nanshan Strategic and New Investment is the core force for local government to empower science and technology innovation. White Rhino will take advantage of this to deepen its layout in the South China region, accelerate the transformation of technological achievements, and help Shenzhen Nanshan build a leading domestic intelligent connected vehicle industry cluster.
White Rhino's continuous popularity among capital stems from its solid layout and remarkable achievements in the field of autonomous driving. Recently, White Rhino has achieved remarkable results in product mass production and scenario expansion, taking every step firmly and powerfully:
In April 2026, it jointly established a joint - venture company with Xinyuan Automobile. It built the world's first RoboVan OEM, successfully achieving a full - chain breakthrough from technology R & D to large - scale mass production, marking that White Rhino has officially entered a new stage in the field of vehicle - grade unmanned vehicle mass production, breaking the barrier between technology and manufacturing and providing a solid guarantee for the large - scale implementation of unmanned vehicles.
In April 2026, it launched large - scale unmanned freight operations with Huolala in Linyi, Shandong. The vehicle - grade autonomous driving logistics vehicle White Rhino RX was officially connected to the Huolala platform, providing instant unmanned delivery services for C - end users and small and micro - businesses, successfully filling the gap in the middle market between "using couriers for small items and trucks for large items" and further expanding the application boundary of unmanned freight.
In March 2026: it reached a cooperation with SF Express Same - City in Weifang, Shandong, successfully covering high - timeliness instant delivery scenarios such as supermarkets, fresh produce, and retail, bringing autonomous driving technology into daily life and solving the pain points of last - mile delivery.
From technology R & D to mass production and implementation, from scenario pilot projects to large - scale operations, White Rhino is taking practical steps to transform unmanned freight from "concept" to "reality" and reshape the logistics industry landscape through technological innovation.
In the future, with the support of the capital and resources from this financing round, White Rhino will continue to focus on the R & D of L4 - level autonomous driving core technologies, continuously improve the driving safety and stability in complex urban scenarios, and fully accelerate the large - scale mass production and market promotion of vehicle - grade unmanned vehicles.
At the same time, the company will further deepen strategic cooperation with new and existing shareholders, integrate global industrial resources, and focus on expanding high - value scenarios such as same - city freight, instant delivery, and overseas markets, building a full - chain layout of "technology + manufacturing + operation" and aiming to reduce logistics and transportation costs and make human travel safer and more economical.
