The company helps its customers automate their transportation, delivery and patrol work. In this project, Teksbotics is partnering with its Saudi logistics partner – Alsharuk Express, one of the last mile delivery companies Amazon.com and Noon.com are serving.

In this pilot project, a purpose-built last-mile delivery vehicle (UNO commuter) was designed and developed by Texbotics according to the requirements collected in Saudi Arabia.
