Business ExpandingChinese autonomous driving technology company PIX Moving establishes a Japanese subsidiary

The company's skateboard-type chassis is for Level 4 autonomous vehicles. It features the concept of a "mobile space" with functions such as restaurants, retail stores, fitness gyms, accommodations, and cafés installed on the top.

The company's core technology, distributed electric drive technology using four-wheel hub motors, enables stable and precise vehicle control. As for the drive system, front-wheel, rear-wheel, or four-wheel drive can be realized. The company's products, such as its autonomous driving bus (ROBOBUS), unmanned cleaning vehicle (Sweeping robot), and unmanned delivery vehicle (Delivery robot), are used in many locations in China, including airports, universities, theme parks, commercial facilities, housing complexes, industrial parks, and public facilities. The company also has a track record of selling its products to 30 countries in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, and other regions.

In April 2023, the company established a Japanese subsidiary, PIX Moving Inc., in Tokyo with the aim of expanding sales in Japan. It mainly sells robots and their parts and provides after-sales service.

To assist with setting up the company's Japanese subsidiary, JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) provided information on subsidies and incentives and on real estate properties, rendered consultation services (visa, tax, labor), arranged meetings with local governments, and introduced to service providers.
