Shenzhen Huolala Technology, a logistics company, was founded in Hong Kong in 2013, entering the mainland Chinese market in the following year. The company provides intra-city and intercity freight transportation, moving services, logistics service for companies, small-lot transportation, automobile leasing and sales, and international logistics.

Initially, the company has engaged in urban freight transportation, but in order to expand operations, Huolala has also launched intercity freight transportation business using heavy trucks. In August 2020, the company began international logistics service called H66, opening distribution routes from five Chinese cities Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan and Jinhua to several countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.
