Pix Moving develops a modular "skateboard" chassis that houses motors, batteries and other key components, enabling scaled EV bodies and easier manufacturing. The company supplies lidar-powered robovans and provides operational support; in a partnership with TIS it will deploy these vehicles to retirement communities to deliver food, groceries and medical equipment. Pix envisions a DAO-managed ecosystem to attract third-party developers to build on its skateboard platform and has tested the idea with a virtual hackathon. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guizhou, Pix has about 160 staff. Overseas markets account for roughly 40% of Pix’s revenues and are expected to reach 50% next year. The firm is setting up a subsidiary and hiring in Japan as it expands deployments. PIX Moving designs modular automotive skateboards — chassis that house batteries, drive units and other core components — for adaptable self-driving vehicles. Founded in 2014, the company began in drones via HAX and moved into automotive around five years ago. It supplies customers globally, including Alibaba, Baidu and a Tier-1 German auto parts maker, and maintains R&D and business teams in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen while being based in Guizhou Province. PIX has started selling self-branded robo buses and skateboard platforms and uses 3D printing to produce customized chassis with lower cost and faster turnaround. The company expects production capacity of 1,200–2,500 vehicles this year and currently derives 30–40% of revenue from overseas, targeting roughly 50% within two years. Recent plans focus on mass production of its own vehicles, scaling customer production, overseas expansion and hiring.
