Since 2023, CiDi has deepened its strategic collaboration with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the fields of Autonomous Driving and Intelligent Transportation. Partnering with leading institutions such as King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), and Ajlan & Bros Holding Group, CiDi has achieved significant milestones in local innovation and deployment.

A recent China Daily article "Changsha Uses Engineering Expertise to Engage in BRI" highlighted CiDi's rapid progress in Saudi Arabia. The report was republished by major Arab media such as Mobadara Arabiya and widely circulated via international platforms including PR Newswire, drawing global attention.

As one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Changsha's Xiangjiang New Area, CiDi is playing a key role in bringing Changsha's intelligent manufacturing capabilities to the global stage. Leveraging its cutting-edge autonomous driving and V2X technologies, CiDi is actively contributing to the China-Arab community with a shared future and the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The China Daily highlighted several of CiDi's localized projects in Saudi Arabia:

"CiDi, an emerging enterprise based in Changsha known for its intelligent autonomous driving technologies, has formed deep partnerships across Saudi Arabia. Together with KAUST, CiDi is co-developing core sensing systems for autonomous mining trucks adapted to the region's dust-heavy environments—advancing the localization of key technologies. With KACST, CiDi is co-establishing the National Intelligent Transportation Laboratory, using the KACST campus as a demonstration zone for V2X deployment and vehicle-road-cloud integration. CiDi is also contributing to Saudi Arabia's "Zero-Waste City" project in Riyadh and Ha'il, by offering intelligent sanitation and waste management solutions. The company has entered a strategic alliance with Ajlan & Bros to expand into the autonomous mining truck and intelligent transportation market. In addition, CiDi has partnered with Galadari to introduce Intelligent Trucks to the Saudi market. These vehicles will serve a wide range of applications: from urban logistics to long-haul autonomous freight, to L2+ intelligent bus systems—accelerating the intelligent upgrade of Saudi Arabia's transportation infrastructure. "

Positioned as an economic and technological hub in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is rapidly boosting its investments in tech innovation and intelligent mobility under its Saudi Vision 2030 strategy. CiDi continues to leverage its technological strengths in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation to support Saudi Arabia's digital transformation and sustainability agenda. CiDi is further expanding its presence in global markets, enhancing the international competitiveness and influence of China's intelligent driving industry, and contributing to a new chapter in BRI collaboration.
