Explosive Demand in Commercial Scenarios, Smart Logistics Unmanned Tricycles Open New Blue Ocean in Overseas Markets
Theme: The boom in last-mile logistics drives the demand for commercial auto tricycles, and unmanned models become a new breakthrough in overseas markets
With the explosive growth of global e-commerce logistics "last mile" delivery demand, commercial auto tricycles have become the main engine of market growth. It is expected that the market share of commercial models will exceed 55% in 2026. In this context, smart logistics unmanned tricycles, with their advantages of high efficiency and safety, have become a new development hotspot in the industry and opened up a new blue ocean in overseas markets.
Taking Nantong, China as an example, a local home textile enterprise introduced the "Zhao Jiafang" smart logistics unmanned vehicle, with a single-vehicle daily delivery volume of 686 orders, the full-link time efficiency optimized by 2-5 hours, and the comprehensive transportation cost reduced by 50%. At present, the enterprise has formulated an unmanned vehicle overseas plan and will try the intelligent logistics model in Cameroon, Africa, covering the whole-link services such as goods transportation, overseas payment, and order settlement. Industry data shows that the sales volume of
Electric Tricycles in the logistics and distribution field reached 6.8 million units in 2025 and is expected to exceed 8 million units in 2026. Among them, 62% of new models are equipped with remote monitoring and route planning systems as standard, laying the foundation for unmanned operation. Due to the relatively weak logistics infrastructure in overseas emerging markets, the market demand for smart unmanned tricycles is particularly urgent, becoming an important breakthrough for Chinese auto tricycle enterprises in differentiated competition.
