Amazon's autonomous ride-hailing subsidiary, Zoox, has entered into a multi-year agreement with Panasonic Energy to supply lithium-ion batteries for its purpose-built robotaxis. The deal will see Panasonic begin supplying its latest cylindrical batteries in early 2026, supporting Zoox's plans to scale its fleet and operations. This partnership is a key step in securing the supply chain for Zoox's commercial expansion. The company recently launched its driverless ride-hailing service in Las Vegas and operates a serial production facility in Hayward, California, to manufacture its autonomous vehicles at scale. The collaboration underscores the continued investment and progress in Amazon's long-term autonomous mobility ambitions.
