Sinian Intelligent Driving has completed a 300 million yuan Series C financing, and the popularity of the autonomous driving heavy-duty truck track is rising. Unmanned truck collection in ports and mining areas has already made profits

Video: Recently, Sinian Intelligent Driving announced the completion of a 300 million yuan Series C financing, jointly led by Xingzheng Capital and Yidao Capital. This is the 8th round of financing in the company's 6-year history. Sinian Intelligent Driving is not only a provider of autonomous heavy-duty truck solutions, but also has the largest port autonomous driving fleet in China. The financing will be invested in the research and development of next-generation automotive grade autonomous driving solutions and the expansion of multi scenario transportation capacity. In the first half of 2026, the popularity of the autonomous driving heavy-duty truck track surged, with five publicly disclosed financing totaling nearly 7 billion yuan. There is a clear differentiation in funding: mainline vehicle companies such as DeepWay and Zero One Automotive have secured billions of yuan in pre IPO financing, attracting overseas and energy industry capital to bet on going public; Scene service providers such as Zaihe Truck and Sinian Intelligent Driving have received billions of stable funds, with investment mainly from state-owned enterprises and securities firms' financial institutions. The current industry has clear implementation and stratification, and closed scenarios such as ports, mining areas, and steel mills have achieved large-scale profitability. Thousands of unmanned vehicle fleets are operating normally; The high-speed trunk line L4 is still in the demonstration pilot stage. Domestic capital market investment tends to be pragmatic, prioritizing the layout of enterprises with landing fleets and mature profit models. At present, multiple leading companies in the closed scene track have achieved single project profitability. Industry estimates suggest that the penetration rate of unmanned trucks in large-scale automated ports will exceed 50% by 2028, and new open-pit mines will include unmanned heavy trucks as standard equipment.
