At 3 a.m. in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, autonomous street sweepers move steadily along the main road, their brushes spinning to gather leaves and dust into their onboard containers. A smaller unmanned sweeper navigates the bike lane with agility. This is not a scene from science fiction; it is the real-world operation of WeRide Inc.'s L4-level autonomous fleet in the capital's streets, providing round-the-clock intelligent support for nighttime sanitation work.

Targeting industry pain points such as labor shortages, high nighttime risks, repetitive physical strain, and the difficulty of operating in complex environments, WeRide Inc. has deployed two models: the S6 autonomous street sweeper, designed for high-efficiency, large-area coverage on main roads, and the S1 unmanned sweeper, tailored for flexible, precise cleaning on auxiliary roads and in parks. This human-machine collaboration enables full-scenario coverage from arterial roads to side streets and from daytime to nighttime operations, improving efficiency and standardization.

Leveraging the full-service support of the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), Beijing has pioneered the commercial application of this model and is now replicating it nationwide. The company adheres to a "one city, one policy" strategy: in Shanghai's Zhangjiang area, the S6 model is primarily used, while in Guangzhou's Huangpu district, the S1 sweeper is the main focus, integrating the technology into daily urban maintenance.

In September 2026, the CIFTIS will open at Shougang Park, where more cutting-edge innovations will connect with the broader market and be promoted nationwide, driving new quality productive forces into urban public services.
