PKLOTCORP Inc. Completes US$10 Million Funding Round

Funding News

PKLOTCORP Inc. announced on November 10 the completion of its latest funding round, raising US$10 million (approximately NT$388 million). Participants in the round included CTBC, Taiwan Secom, Pegatron, and Hsin Sheng Capital, as well as Silicon Valley-based 500 Global, Singularity Capital, and several undisclosed Japanese venture capital firms.

Autopass, the smart mobility platform operated by PKLOTCORP Inc., entered the market with the concept of “license plate as a wallet.” Through contactless payment technology, the platform connects multiple driving-related payment use cases, including fuel stations, parking facilities, and roadside parking. Users can complete payments via a mobile app using license plate recognition, enabling a contactless payment experience without the need to tap a card or manually enter information.

Autopass has already integrated its services with a wide range of banks and payment platforms, including Taishin Bank, LINE Bank, JKO Pay, Pi Wallet, and CPC Pay. For enterprise customers, the platform has expanded into backend systems, supporting shared mobility operators such as iRent and Chailease with roadside parking payments, expense management, and one-way rental services. Through these integrations, Autopass has established itself as a key mobility infrastructure partner for multiple enterprises. 

As the platform continues to mature, Autopass is advancing the next phase of its product roadmap with the launch of “Driver Center.” Built around the concept of a single sign-on (SSO) for drivers, the platform integrates driver-related data, including driver’s licenses, membership benefits, and active services, into a unified digital identity portal. Similar to logging in with a Google account, Driver Center is designed to allow vehicle owners to access all driving-related information through a single login. 

The company expects to reach break-even by 2026 and will continue expanding its online integrations and offline partnerships. Autopass has also established a subsidiary in Tokyo, Japan, with plans to replicate its open-platform model developed in Taiwan by connecting local parking operators with driver service platforms, further expanding its international presence.

Piezo Ultratech Co., Ltd. Completes NT$10 Million Pre-A Round

Funding News

Piezo Ultratech Co., Ltd. announced on December 3 the completion of a NT$10 million Pre-A round. Participants in the round included Taiwan Intellectual Asset Management, Sagatek, and Chen Shih Investment. The investment was facilitated with support from Stone Weng, Managing Partner of Infinio Capital and a mentor at the NCKU Phoenix Entrepreneurship Platform. 

Founded in 2023, Piezo Ultratech originated from a laboratory within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Cheng Kung University. The company aims to reduce Taiwan’s heavy reliance on imported high-end piezoelectric sensors, which account for more than 90% of domestic demand, by developing proprietary piezoelectric materials and sensor technologies in-house. Its core strengths lie in its piezoelectric material formulations and sensor design capabilities. Leveraging these technologies, the company has developed piezoelectric sensors with bandwidths of up to 34 kHz. By comparison, conventional capacitive sensors typically offer bandwidths of around 5 kHz to 10 kHz and are primarily used to capture lower-frequency signals. Through proprietary ceramic processing and miniaturization technologies, Piezo Ultratech’s sensors can detect higher-frequency signals, significantly improving the accuracy of equipment monitoring. 

The proceeds will support Piezo Ultratech’s strategic expansion, enabling the company to integrate more rapidly into existing industrial supply chains and grow alongside major manufacturers and system integrators. The company has initiated technical collaborations with a well-established domestic robotics manufacturer to jointly develop precision sensing modules for robotic arms, as well as health monitoring and safety systems for collaborative robots. To support its expanding operations, the team is actively recruiting talent in hardware development, algorithm integration, and business development. The company also plans to extend its applications from AIoT devices and automotive sensing to medical sensing modules, positioning its Taiwan-developed high-end sensors as part of the global intelligent manufacturing ecosystem.

The round was led by the AVA Sustainable Fund, with participation from several strategic investors, including Japanese autonomous driving system developer TIER IV, Taiwan-based automotive logistics provider Tonglit Logistics, and electric bus manufacturer Tron Energy.

Focused on AI-driven autonomous driving in controlled environments, Turing Drive positions itself as a provider of autonomous driving software solutions. Rather than manufacturing vehicles directly, the company collaborates with automotive system suppliers and vehicle manufacturers through a software-hardware integration approach to jointly develop AI- driven vehicles. The company primarily targets the special-purpose vehicle (SPV) market, which includes industrial mobility solutions for automated logistics operations in factories, warehouses, and ports; autonomous shuttle services for tourism and leisure in large parks and resorts; and mobility solutions designed to address public transportation gaps in aging societies. 

In terms of technology development, Turing Drive has built a comprehensive autonomous driving software portfolio. Its core solutions include AutoDrive, an AI-driven autonomous driving software platform; EdgeDrive, an edge computing unit; and SyncDrive, an intelligent operations management system. Built on a modular architecture and developed in close collaboration with customers, these solutions enable the rapid deployment and real-world implementation of AI-driven vehicle systems. Turing Drive has recorded revenue growth of more than 100% for three consecutive years, with over 50% of its revenue generated from the Japanese market, known for its stringent quality and safety standards. 

The proceeds will support the development of AI-driven autonomous driving software and related products, while accelerating the company’s international expansion. Turing Drive plans to deploy large-scale autonomous vehicle fleets in Japan and Singapore by 2026, marking its transition from early-stage validation to scalable growth. 

Participation by TIER IV in this round represents a strategically significant development. As a leading autonomous driving technology provider in Japan with nearly 400 employees, TIER IV has long collaborated with automakers on autonomous driving systems. By integrating Turing Drive’s technology modules into TIER IV’s product offerings, the two companies can jointly deliver comprehensive autonomous driving solutions to vehicle manufacturers. This collaboration is expected to strengthen Turing Drive’s presence in the Japanese market while enabling expansion into international markets through TIER IV’s global footprint, creating a more efficient pathway for commercial growth. While the partnership remains at the market validation stage, initial results are already emerging. The primary objective of this funding is to advance these validated outcomes into a repeatable and scalable growth phase. 

Looking ahead to 2026, Turing Drive aims to obtain an autonomous driving license for open-road use in Japan, potentially becoming the first Taiwanese company to secure such approval. At the same time, the company plans to launch large-scale deployments of autonomous vehicle fleets in Japan and Singapore, while expanding into the North American market, further accelerating the global adoption of Taiwan-developed AI autonomous driving technologies.
