DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Robo.ai Inc. (NASDAQ: AIIO), a technology company developing a global artificial intelligence machine economy platform, today announced that it has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire a 51% equity interest in Chinasky Car Trading FZE (” CCT “), an automotive trading company based in the United Arab Emirates.

The transaction is intended to transform CCT’s established trade network within the Jebel Ali Free Zone into a central global distribution hub for Robo.ai. This integration is expected to reduce the market entry cycle for the Company’s intelligent hardware portfolio. This distribution network is intended to support the deployment of the Company’s future hardware pipeline, including Robotaxis, eVTOL aircraft, and intelligent logistics robots, thereby advancing the Company’s strategy encompassing AI software, intelligent hardware, and smart assets. Specifically, the Company’s commercial vehicle joint venture, RoBUS, will leverage CCT’s infrastructure to establish a dual-drive infrastructure combining manufacturing and distribution. RoBUS’s customized commercial vehicle series will gain immediate access to CCT’s distribution channels across more than 20 markets in Central Asia, North Africa, and Eastern Europe, serving as a complementary growth driver to the manufacturing partner’s existing network.

Located in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, CCT generated approximately over AED 100 million (approximately USD 30 million) in revenue for the fiscal year 2025. Leveraging the re-export trade advantages of the UAE, CCT provides comprehensive automotive services including sales, leasing, after-sales support, and supply chain finance. Its operational network spans emerging markets including Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Algeria, Morocco, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Through this acquisition, Robo.ai intends to utilize CCT as a primary carrier for its global intelligent hardware distribution, mitigating the capital and time requirements associated with organic channel construction. The consolidation of these channel resources is designed to enhance operational efficiency and support Robo.ai’s expansion into intelligent hardware distribution.

The Chief Executive Officer of Robo.ai stated that the acquisition of CCT represents a significant step in the Company’s strategy to integrate virtual technologies with physical applications. He noted that realizing the commercial value of core robotic and automation technologies requires integration with physical carriers and circulation networks. He added that CCT provides not only stable cash flow but also a strategic logistical position, serving as a foundational node for the Company’s global market expansion. Looking ahead, Robo.ai plans to assist CCT in expanding into high-value-added business segments, including automotive parts, after-sales services, and supply chain finance, to build a comprehensive smart asset operation platform.

SANYA, China, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the historic launch of island-wide independent customs operations in the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) on December 18, 2025, Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (YZBSTC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Intrinsic SEA as its Southeast Asia strategic partner, further strengthened their engagement framework for Southeast Asia, jointly promoting exchanges and connections between YZBSTC’s policy advantages and innovation resources and the ASEAN market.

This appointment marks a strategic pivot for YZBSTC as it transitions into full-scale global implementation. As a strategic collaboration partner supporting YZBSTC’s Overseas Collaborative Innovation initiatives in Southeast Asia, Intrinsic SEA will facilitate regional engagement and business connectivity for ASEAN enterprises seeking to leverage Hainan’s newly liberalized “First Line” and “Second Line” trade policies.

Capitalizing on the “December 18 Milestone”

The timing of this partnership coincides with the most significant economic shift in Hainan’s history. As of December 18, 2025, Hainan has implemented a “separate customs zone” status, offering:

• Zero-Tariff Expansion: Duty-free categories have surged from 1,900 to 6,600 product categories, covering 74% of all taxable items.
• Value-Added Incentives: Goods undergoing 30% or more value-added processing in Hainan FTP can now enter the Chinese mainland tariff-free.
• Operational Freedom: Simplified “First Line” entry for international goods and capital, providing ASEAN firms with an “offshore” operational environment within China’s borders.

Aligning with the 15th Five-Year Plan of China (2026–2030)

As China enters its 15th Five-Year Plan, YZBSTC is positioned as a national pilot for “New Quality Productive Forces.” Intrinsic SEA will collaborate in advancing initiatives that align ASEAN tech clusters with China’s core objectives:

• Deep-Sea & Seed Sovereignty: Accelerating technological self-reliance in marine engineering and the “Nanfan Silicon Valley.”
• Future Industries: Establishing collaborative R&D for AI, biomanufacturing, and brain-computer interfaces.
• Regional Integration: Supporting Hainan’s role as a regional connectivity platform to link the Greater Bay Area (GBA) with the ASEAN economic corridor.

Launching the “MEET Hainan Tour”

To facilitate immediate engagement, Intrinsic SEA and YZBSTC are jointly introducing the  “MEET Hainan Tour.” This flagship initiative will provide ASEAN SMEs and tech giants with integrated policy briefings and coordination support, assisting them in understanding and accessing preferential corporate and individual income tax policies at a rate of 15%, while facilitating thematic exchanges and engagement activities focused on the Sci-Tech City and the University Town.
