New Favorite in the Property Management Industry, WeRide's RoboSweeper S1 present at the Guangzhou International Smart Property Expo

On September 10, 2024, WeRide, in collaboration with the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone (referred to as "Hengqin Cooperation Zone"), officially launched the autonomous vehicle commercial pilot, commencing the fee-charged operation service for WeRide Robobus. This is a significant milestone as the second Robobus paid service in South China, while also representing the first batch of Robobus commercial operation projects since the establishment of the Hengqin Cooperation Zone.
![横琴01.jpg](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/01_2eaad0c877.jpg)
Meanwhile, WeRide has officially obtained approval to conduct regular road tests in the Hengqin Cooperation Zonee for its Robobus with no steering wheel nor safety driver in the driving position. This lays a solid foundation for achieving purely driverless commercial operations. During the testing period, WeRide Robobus achieved zero safety incidents and manual interventions, fully demonstrating the maturity and solid tech of WeRide autonomous vehicles.
![横琴02.png](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/02_66346f08b5.png)
The Hengqin Cooperation Zone is located on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary and serves as an important hub connecting Macao with the mainland China, with the closest point to Macao being only 187 meters away. As a prominent feature of the cooperation zone's "Smart City + Intelligent Transportation Industry," WeRide Robobus has been conducting passenger-carrying demonstration tests in the cooperation zone since July 2023. To date, it has accumulated over 100,000 kilometers of autonomous driving and served more than 20,000 passengers, continuously providing residents and tourists of Guangdong and Macao with convenient, green, and intelligent transportation experiences.
![横琴03.png](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/03_795b8eaf36.png)
The approval to commercially operate paid services in Hengqin marks WeRide's second Robobus paid service in South China. On December 30, 2023, WeRide, in partnership with Guangzhou Bus Group, launched the nation's first commercial paid operation service for Robobus, which has now conducted 10 operational routes. The continuous commercial implementation reaffirms the maturity and replicability of the WeRide business model and our remarkable speed in commercialization.

Since June this year, WeRide Robosweeper S1 has undergone safety tests at Chaoren Wharf Square in Shantou, and it will carry out regular driverless sanitation operations covering both day and night throughout the Haibin Road area after the trial operation concludes. Located on the west section of Haibin Road, Chaoren Wharf connects the historical cultural axis of the old town and is a popular landmark showcasing the port characteristics of Shantou. 

Released in April this year, WeRide Robosweeper S1 is the world's first L4 level autonomous sanitation equipment capable of full-scene coverage for open roads, featuring 360-degree all-around perception and operational capabilities, suitable for various hard surfaces, and can operate in squares, side roads, sidewalks, and other road environments, covering an area of over 120,000 square meters on a single charge.

The debut of WeRide Robosweeper S1 at Chaoren Wharf in Shantou has enabled cooperation between traditional sanitation and human-machine collaboration, attracting attention from several media outlets. In a report by the Shantou Daily, sanitation worker Cheng Longchao told reporters: "This vehicle is not afraid of high temperatures or cold, improving the quality of sanitation work and reducing the intensity of cleaning operations, thus lessening the burden on us sanitation workers." As a coastal area, Chaoren Wharf often faces harsh weather conditions such as high temperatures and strong winds. WeRide Robosweeper S1 is undaunted by extreme environments, able to automatically awaken, follow preset routes for patrolling and cleaning, and complete automatic waste disposal, becoming a powerful assistant for outdoor sanitation workers.

During the trial operation, project partner Huadalong also praised the cleaning effect of WeRide Robosweeper S1. Project manager Li Jian mentioned in an interview with a reporter from the Shantou Daily: "This autonomous driving sanitation vehicle has shown very good trial results." He stated that there are plans to further deploy autonomous sanitation equipment to wider areas such as Haibin Road, Jinhuan Road, and Yuejin Road, contributing to improving the quality and efficiency of Shantou's sanitation work. 

WeRide's smart sanitation products have already been implemented in cities including Guangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Dalian, Dongguan, Singapore, etc., significantly improving urban environments with their high operational efficiency and quality, empowering local traditional sanitation to upgrade intelligently. This not only demonstrates the product's high adaptability in various environments but also reaffirms the replicability of WeRide's business model.

Singapore Launches Autonomous Shuttle Service, WeRide Robobus Becomes a New Attraction at Resorts World Sentosa

Dongguan, July 2024 — WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, announced the official launch of an intelligent sanitation project for municipal roads in DONGGUAN BINHAIWAN BAY AREA. This project indicates the inaugural demonstration of "autonomous driving + new energy" mechanized unmanned intelligent sanitation and marks Dongguan's first commercial deployment of L4-level Robosweepers on open roads. It is the global debut of the WeRide Robosweeper S1 in a large-scale application, representing a significant milestone in our journey.

The Dongguan Binhaiwan unmanned intelligent sanitation project covers nine urban roads with complex conditions. The unmanned sanitation fleet, consisting of the Robosweeper S6 and the Robosweeper S1, will perform unmanned sanitation operations on key routes such as Binhaiwan Avenue (from Donghai Road to Xinyi section), Dongwan Avenue (from Fuhai Road to Donghai Road section), Zhenhai Road, Xinghai Road, and Zhonghai Road. The operation covers various scenarios including motorways, non-motorized lanes, sidewalks, safety islands, and bridge surfaces, with a service area exceeding 860,000 square meters.
