Chainfir Capital Says Cost per Kilometre Determines Winners in Autonomous Delivery

• Chainfir Capital’s analysis identifies cost per kilometer, rather than capital availability, as the decisive competitive factor in autonomous logistics.
• Neolix announced nearly $400 million in financing on October 20, roughly double its fundraising target.
• Its RMB 0.50 charge per kilometer compares with human courier costs of about RMB 1, roughly halving customer costs.
• Neolix puts vehicle total cost of ownership at about RMB 0.25 per kilometer; reported per-vehicle gross margins exceed 60%.
• However, quarterly profitability claims cover only high-order-density operations, excluding company-wide overhead; the segment has yet to achieve scaled profitability.
