Company overview
Inceptio Technology develops and deploys full-stack autonomous driving systems for Class 8 trucks. Its flagship product, the Inceptio Autonomous Driving System, is a production-grade Level 3 solution co-developed with top OEMs and preloaded directly into new heavy-duty trucks. The company’s vehicles integrate cutting-edge capabilities like LiDAR-based perception, predictive fuel-efficient driving, lane-level autonomy, and full-stack sensor fusion. With over 2,000 trucks in commercial use and more than 200 million kilometers logged, Inceptio’s platform is one of the most widely deployed and validated autonomous freight technologies on the market. These systems are already operating nationwide in China across use cases like express delivery, FTL/LTL freight, and cold chain logistics.
Inceptio operates under a hybrid model combining advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) sales to OEMs with a growing autonomous Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS) freight network. OEM partners preload the Inceptio stack into production vehicles, while logistics companies purchase or lease those trucks for commercial use. Inceptio’s TaaS network provides logistics customers with autonomous fleet operations that lower labor costs by 20–50% and improve fuel efficiency by 3–7%. This embedded + network model allows Inceptio to scale both hardware and service revenue while accelerating the commercial adoption of autonomous freight.
