7X and Zelostech ink Joint Venture Agreement to establish Cutting-
Edge Autonomous Logistics Platform in the Middle East

UAE, May 15, 2025:
7X has signed a landmark Joint Venture Agreement with ZELOS TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD.
(‘Zelostech’) to introduce Level 4 autonomous urban logistics services to the region, marking
a significant step forward in transforming last-mile delivery through cutting-edge AI and
driverless vehicle technologies. This collaboration positions the UAE at the forefront of next-
generation smart mobility, aligning with the country’s bold innovation and sustainability
agendas.

The Agreement, held at Zelostech headquarters in China, was signed by Tariq Al Wahedi,
Acting Group CEO of 7X, and Kong Qi, CEO of Zelostech, in the presence of senior officials
from 7X, EMX, and Zelostech. Following the ceremony, the 7X and EMX delegation visited
Zelostech’s vehicle production line, gaining in-depth insights into the company’s core
competencies and various manufacturing processes.

As part of the agreement, a joint venture (JV) will be established to deliver urban logistics
solutions by combining 7X’s expertise, network, and operational infrastructure, powered by its
logistics arm, EMX, with Zelostech’s advanced capabilities in autonomous system
development and hardware-software integration. In its initial phase, the venture will primarily
support EMX’s delivery operations, aiming to improve last-mile delivery efficiency and service
quality, with plans to gradually expand services to third parties in the UAE.

As the project progresses toward commercialisation and large-scale operations, the JV will
establish its regional headquarters in the UAE, serving regional players across the wider GCC
and Middle East. The aim is to establish a model ecosystem for autonomous logistics,
supporting smart city development and the sustainable transformation of transportation
networks.

Tariq Al Wahedi, Acting Group CEO of 7X, stated: “This partnership marks a pivotal
moment in our mission to reshape the future of trade, transport and logistics across the region.
By joining forces with Zelostech, we are not only accelerating the development of an
autonomous delivery ecosystem, but also advancing shared priorities around smart mobility,
sustainability, and technological innovation. This initiative aligns with broader national visions,
including the UAE Green Agenda 2030, and reinforces our commitment to pioneering
solutions that define the next era of logistics.”

Kong Qi, CEO of Zelostech, remarked: “Our strategic alliance with 7X is a part of our broader
internationalisation vision. We firmly believe that by leveraging our combined capabilities, we
can build a robust autonomous delivery solution, personalised for the Middle Eastern market.
Furthermore, this is a remarkable achievement which will expedite the transition to smart and
sustainable mobility solutions in the region.”

Notably, the partnership marks the first-ever large-scale adoption of autonomous driving
technology within the Middle East’s dynamic logistics sector, elevating present benchmarks
of excellence. Furthermore, both entities view this project as a starting point for possible long-
term collaborations aimed at catalysing autonomous logistics and smart delivery systems
innovation in the region.
