DuoLa Auto

DuoLa Auto is an automotive technology brand officially launched in 2025 by Lalamove, a global leading internet freight platform. As a core strategy for Lalamove's transformation from a "logistics trading platform" to an "intelligent logistics ecosystem", DuoLa Auto focuses on the R&D, customization, and sales of new energy logistics commercial vehicles. Through the "deep customization + ecosystem closed-loop" model, the brand utilizes Lalamove's massive freight big data to inform vehicle design, aiming to solve the pain points of disconnection between traditional commercial vehicles and actual freight scenarios. In 2026, Lalamove DuoLa has become one of the most competitive custom vehicle brands in the urban freight field through deep cooperation with OEMs such as Changan Kuayue.

History

The birth of Lalamove DuoLa marks the entry of internet freight into a new stage of "software and hardware integration":

Cross-border auto manufacturing announcement (June 2025): Lalamove officially announced entering the new energy commercial vehicle field, launching the automotive brand "DuoLa (DuoLa)," and unveiled its first self-developed electric truck.

First vehicle launch (July 2025): Lalamove DuoLa's first exclusive product "DuoLa Bafang" (later mass production version called DuoLa Da Mian) officially went on sale. The vehicle was responsible for product definition and requirement mining by Lalamove, and deeply customized production by Changan Kuayue.

Capital and ecosystem integration (end of 2025): The brand rapidly launched the "Buy Vehicle, Manage Operations" driver support plan through Lalamove's network covering over 400 cities worldwide, deeply binding vehicle sales with platform freight sources.

Overseas and diversification (2026): In 2026, Lalamove DuoLa began exploring overseas market adaptation, developing right-hand drive logistics models targeting Southeast Asia, South Asia, and other Lalamove core business areas. Meanwhile, the brand launched upgrades of "Five Core Functions" for different fragmented freight scenarios.

Brand Matrix / Product Line

DuoLa Auto's product logic highly focuses on "productivity tools," with extreme loading efficiency and refueling convenience as the core:

DuoLa Da Mian (DuoLa Bafang / Da Mian Series):

Positioning: Fully electric box truck (medium van).

Core Selling Points:

Large Cargo Area: Features an ultra-large cargo space of approximately 8 cubic meters, far exceeding traditional micro vans.

Wide Opening Doors: Side doors adopt a wide sliding design, rear door supports 270-degree outward swing opening, greatly improving forklift loading/unloading and operation efficiency in narrow sections.

Superfast Charging: Compatible with mainstream battery packs such as CATL, supports high-rate fast charging, alleviating driver range anxiety.

DuoLa Series Derivatives (Planned): Models targeting smaller-sized city shuttle (small van) and heavier tonnage inter-city transport (light truck) vehicles, expected to be released successively by the end of 2026.

Market Performance

In 2026, Lalamove DuoLa achieved rapid penetration in the existing truck market through a combination of "platform subsidy + financial leasing + freight guarantee". For drivers, purchasing the "DuoLa" brand means better alignment with platform order-taking algorithm optimization (such as accommodating more large-volume orders due to space standards) and lower operating costs. In the first quarter of 2026, the delivery volume of DuoLa series models ranked among the top on the new energy logistics vehicle list in freight hotspot cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. Market analysis believes that the advantage of Lalamove building cars lies in its possession of real, high-frequency usage feedback, capable of completing product iterations at an extremely fast speed, and its "First Purchase Rights Gift Pack" launched in 2026 further stimulated the willingness of traditional oil car drivers to switch to electric.

Technology and Innovation 

The core technologies of Lalamove DuoLa do not pursue flamboyant intelligent driving, but rather an ultimate "Efficiency Toolbox":

Freight Scenario Big Data Algorithm:   Based on hundreds of millions of freight trajectories and load data on the Lalamove platform, optimizing chassis weight distribution and suspension stiffness, enabling the vehicle to have better durability and power saving rate under full load conditions.  

Cargo Space Digitalization:   The onboard system can link deeply with the Lalamove App, recommending optimal loading solutions in real-time based on cargo volume and shape.

Three-Seat/Heavy Load Architecture:   Targeting the actual situation of freight in China, the front row adopts a compliant three-seat layout, and reinforces the chassis beam load capacity to meet the extreme needs of "heavy goods, large goods".  

Smart Capacity Closed-loop System:   The vehicle integrates an exclusive "Lalamove Onboard Terminal", supporting one-click order taking, intelligent route navigation, and full audio-video evidence for driver-passenger disputes.  

Global Presence

In 2026, Lalamove DuoLa began exporting relying on Lalamove's international brand effect. The brand has already launched small-scale driver internal testing in Bangkok and Jakarta, planning to seize the rapidly growing e-commerce logistics delivery market in Southeast Asia through exporting custom chassis and assembling locally.

Future Strategy

Lalamove DuoLa's goal is to become the "Definer of Global New Energy Logistics Vehicles". In the next three years, the brand will strive to achieve full digital collaboration of "Vehicle, Cargo, Road, People". With the launch of more customized configurations (such as cold chain version, moving professional version) in the second half of 2026, Lalamove DuoLa will, through its unique "Capacity Partner" model, not only provide drivers with a vehicle but also a complete "Urban Freight Production Solution", promoting the efficiency upgrade of China and the global instant logistics industry.
