Polestones
极石汽车
Polestones (极石汽车) is a Chinese new-energy vehicle maker whose flagship model is the ROX 01 — a rugged SUV it has been pushing into overseas markets, including an entry into Saudi Arabia in late 2024 as part of its global strategy . On the investor side, Heart Capital's team backed its Series B (then operating as 洛轲智能) in September 2021 , and it sits in Qiming Venture Partners' portfolio, counted among the listed companies and unicorns tied to Qiming partner Alex Zhou .
Recent footprint is heavily Middle East-flavored: in 2025 it struck a strategic partnership with Emirates Nature-WWF, donating two ROX 01s for field work in remote areas , and it co-founded a lightweight-materials joint lab with Weiqiao Group in Suzhou . Its ROX 01 also showed at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show equipped with Hesai's long-range lidar . A fuller company history (founding, earlier rounds) isn't covered in elsewhere's corpus.
