7X, a leading trade, transport, and logistics group, has announced the launch of Autologix Smarttech LLC (AutoLogiX) — a groundbreaking joint venture with Zelostech, a global leader in autonomous vehicle technologies. The collaboration marks a transformative step toward building an integrated logistics ecosystem powered by Level 4 autonomous vehicles, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global hub for smart and sustainable transportation innovation.
In Phase One, AutoLogiX will deploy Level 4 autonomous cargo vehicles—fully driverless units with no cab, steering wheel, or human operator. These advanced vehicles are engineered to enable seamless, safe, and efficient cargo movement between logistics hubs, setting new standards in reliability and sustainability. Initially, the technology will be integrated into EMX, 7X’s logistics arm, before expanding across the GCC and the wider Middle East region.
The expansion plan will also include last-mile delivery solutions, mobile smart locker networks, and air freight logistics integration, enhancing on-time performance, reducing carbon emissions, and enabling off-peak operations — all critical for the UAE’s green and digital economy vision.
