As part of our mission to create the world’s best small EVs, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with DoorDash, together building the future of autonomous delivery.

Through a strategic investment and multi-year commercial collaboration, we’ll work together to deploy small, purpose-built EVs designed to optimize how goods move in dynamic, population-dense environments.

Built for the in-between.

The intersection of roads and road-adjacent spaces, such as bike lanes, shoulders and curbsides, are the areas that make up the hardest part of the last-mile delivery puzzle. They’re also where traditional vehicles struggle most, and where smaller, more adaptable EVs like those designed by ALSO have the greatest opportunity to perform.

This partnership is focused on unlocking those spaces.

“Small autonomous EVs are optimal in these environments,” said ALSO Co-Founder and President Chris Yu. “That is what ALSO is building from the ground up.”

Scaling autonomy for the real world.

Together, ALSO and DoorDash will focus on accelerating the development and deployment of autonomous delivery systems that operate effectively in real-world conditions, where infrastructure overlaps and precision matters.

“ALSO is building purpose-built EVs that are designed to unlock new ways to meet customers and merchants where they are,” said DoorDash Co-Founder and Head of DoorDash Labs Stanley Tang. “We’re excited to invest and partner with them as we look to scale autonomous delivery.”

Moving forward together.

This collaboration comes alongside ALSO’s $200 million Series C financing round, led by Greenoaks, with participation from Prysm Capital and strategic investment from DoorDash. As part of the partnership, Stanley Tang will join ALSO as a Board Observer.

With plans to scale production and expand globally, we at ALSO are focused on building vehicles that work across use in cases, moving people and goods, both driven and autonomous.

We’re grateful to our partners at DoorDash, Prysm Capital, and Greenoaks—and to everyone along for the ride as we electrify the future of mobility.
