Neolix and QuikBot have signed a strategic partnership to develop an end-to-end autonomous delivery system in Singapore. The agreement focuses on linking road-based delivery with in-building and doorstep handover.
The partnership combines Neolix's autonomous vehicle operations with QuikBot's software and infrastructure for final-mile access inside buildings. Together, they will co-develop an integrated delivery chain that moves parcels from public roads into building interiors and on to individual doors.
Singapore is the initial focus, supporting Neolix's local pilot deployment and compliance preparation. The companies also plan to use the partnership as a basis for wider deployments across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and other markets where both already operate.
Neolix operates in autonomous logistics and says it has deployed services for scheduled logistics, instant delivery and night-time delivery in multiple cities. Its operations span express logistics, supermarket delivery, pharmaceutical delivery, industrial logistics and broader supply-chain work.
Its autonomous delivery services have reached more than 300 cities in nearly 20 countries and regions, logging more than 150 million autonomous kilometres. Neolix is pursuing localised operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Portugal and Australia.
Singapore-based QuikBot focuses on the final stage of delivery. Its Autonomous Final-Mile Delivery Platform-as-a-Service and Ambient Permission Plane are designed to help autonomous systems work with lifts, access controls, smart facilities and building operations.
The indoor element is central to the agreement because many urban deliveries do not end at the kerbside. Moving goods from a vehicle outside a building to a recipient inside often requires coordination with property systems and access rules that have been difficult to automate.
QuikBot says it has already worked with international logistics groups, including FedEx, in commercial buildings in Singapore. That experience, together with Neolix's fleet operations, gives the companies a route to testing an integrated service across both roads and indoor environments.
Singapore test case
A successful deployment in Singapore could help define a standard interface between public roads and building interiors. The companies see that as a way to replicate the model in other markets such as the UAE, Japan and South Korea.
For city authorities and logistics operators, the appeal lies in addressing dense urban delivery demand during peak periods, at night and between buildings. Autonomous road vehicles could handle repeated journeys across urban routes, while smaller last-metre systems manage the final hand-off within complexes and residential or commercial properties.
Will Zhao, Executive President, Neolix, said the company sees Singapore as an important market in its international rollout.
"Singapore is an important market in Neolix's global deployment footprint. We are bringing proven operating experience from large-scale autonomous delivery services to a market with clear regulatory expectations and concentrated commercial demand. QuikBot has deep knowledge of Singapore's building and final-mile delivery environment. This partnership will support our local pilot deployment and compliance preparation, connect road-based autonomous driving more effectively with building scenarios, and strengthen our end-to-end autonomous delivery offering for more global cities," Zhao said.
QuikBot cited Singapore's regulatory and testing environment as a factor in the collaboration. It highlighted a live Physical AI testbed in the Punggol Digital District and said the district has a precinct-level regulatory exemption from the Land Transport Authority for this type of operation.
"This ecosystem momentum is anchored by a live Physical AI testbed at the Punggol Digital District by end of 2026. This district, supported by a precinct-level regulatory exemption from the Land Transport Authority (LTA), provides a real-world blueprint for commercial logistics, enabling multi-operator autonomous fleets to share public paths seamlessly. Crucially, operation on these routes demands clearing stringent, multi-stage deployment readiness assessments to ensure prolonged, intervention-free mileage within geofenced zones," said Alan Ng, Founder and CEO, QuikBot Technologies.
The partnership also has a commercial dimension. The two groups will act as co-deployers and go-to-market partners, pursuing joint pilots, technical standards alignment and strategic tenders for enterprise and smart-city customers.
That approach suggests they are trying to move beyond single-site trials towards a broader delivery model that can be reused in multiple cities. For autonomous logistics, the challenge has often been less about vehicle movement on roads than the fragmented systems that govern access to buildings and final delivery points.
Alan Ng, Founder and CEO, QuikBot Technologies, said that gap has limited the sector.
"Autonomous delivery has been a promise for years; the missing piece is the infrastructure layer that ties everything together. Neolix brings proven on-road AV capability, while QuikBot provides the Ambient Permission Plane, enabling vehicles to move through buildings, communicate with smart infrastructure, and complete the last metre of delivery. For the first time, a delivery vehicle can pick up a parcel on a public road, navigate into a building, and complete a handoff to the right door, all without a human in the chain. This partnership makes that possible," Ng said.
