Chinese autonomous logistics firm Neolix said it has become one of the first companies approved for autonomous delivery vehicle sandbox testing in Malaysia, with trials planned for Cyberjaya.
The company said approval was granted by the Ministry of Transport under Malaysia’s National Regulatory Sandbox framework for autonomous delivery vehicles.
Road trials are expected to begin in Cyberjaya in the coming weeks, putting the autonomous vehicle into one of Malaysia’s main smart-city testbeds.
Testing will cover closed-road, semi-open and public-road environments and other locations. Neolix said the programme will assess how its Level 4 autonomous delivery vehicles cope with urban conditions, including traffic lights, intersections and speed bumps.
The Malaysian pilot will be carried out with local and regional partners, including Tiong Nam Logistics, Asia Mobiliti and MindHub. The companies will study use cases such as express parcel delivery, campus logistics and on-demand e-commerce fulfilment.
Neolix said the sandbox tests would be carried out in phases through the second half of 2026. It said Malaysia’s keep-left traffic system makes it a useful test market for other Asia-Pacific countries with similar road rules.
Cyberjaya already hosts Malaysia’s official MyAV autonomous vehicle testing route, developed by the Ministry of Transport and Futurise under the sandbox initiative.
Companies must go through technical and safety checks before operating autonomous vehicles on public roads.
For now, this is not a commercial roll-out. It is a controlled trial for autonomous delivery vehicles in Malaysia.
