New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

so I think I've found out what Haomo uses.


seems like it uses black sesame's domain controller + ADAS chips My guess 2 A1000 chips (58 TOPS per chip) and they claim to do it for just 3000 RMB. That's really cheap. Basically the cheapest ADAS solution you can find

They are going to present in SAIC tech conference tomorrow

Europeans love the Chinese EVs that the European Union is fighting​

T5DM got unveiled today, promising 30% fuel economy over ICE models. This could be an interim step before full EVs
I also think they developed this to support their JVs like with Weichai

Chinese Tesla suppliers to invest nearly $1 bln in northern Mexico - state officials​

MEXICO CITY, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Two Chinese suppliers for Tesla will invest nearly a billion dollars in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon where the automaker is planning a new factory, Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia said during a trip to Shanghai on Wednesday.

The planned investments include $700 million from Ningbo Tuopu Group and $260 million from Hesai Technology , a Nuevo Leon representative said.

Tesla announced in March it would build a large plant in the state, where it already has suppliers, in what Mexican officials described as a more than $5 billion investment. Speaking in a video filmed at Tesla's Shanghai factory, Garcia said Ningbo Tuopu Group was looking to begin production by the end of the year in Nuevo Leon.

The companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ningbo Tuopu Group develops shock absorption products and other auto parts, while Hesai Technology makes lidar light sensors for applications like autonomous vehicles and robots.

Ningbo is expected to create some 10,000 jobs, and Hesai, up to 4,000, Nuevo Leon officials said.

Tesla has not yet begun construction in Nuevo Leon, and its timeline for starting production is unclear. Its factory in Austin, Texas, is several hours away just north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

"We're very happy because everything seems to indicate that the Nuevo Leon site will be twice as big, at least, as the one in Austin," Garcia said, noting that Tesla already sources batteries, software, computers and other parts from Nuevo Leon.

The wired article was fairly objective and without a strong anti whatever or political overtone in it's writing. Kudos to the writer.

I wrote here about the new plant that opened up between XCMG and BYD for XCMG heavy machineries.

a lot of automation and the eventual capacity of 15GWh is significant capacity

Expect a lot of electrification in the years ahead

more on electric truck. We have here DeepWay which uses swappable batteries with 300km+ range on 49t fully loaded HDT with 450kWh battery pack (3 packs that can be swapped)

It has started delivery in June and is delivering more now

SMIC Juyuan led the investment, and RAYZ Technology completed nearly 100 million yuan in Series A financing​

RAYZ Technology recently announced the completion of Series A financing, led by SMIC Juyuan, with participation from Juntong Capital, Feitu Capital, Qiandao Investment, Qiyu Chuangying, etc. vote . After the completion of this round of financing, RAYZ Technology will focus on the research and development, industrialization and market expansion of automotive-grade products, targeting the field of intelligent driving of passenger and commercial vehicles, and accelerating the large-scale commercial use of automotive lidar.
RAYZ was founded in 2019 by three scientists in Beijing. The company always adheres to the 4C high standards (Competence, Compactness.Cost-effectiveness, Continuity) to build every product. The high-performance lidar developed by the company has key indicators such as ranging, resolution, volume, cost, and vehicle-standard reliability. , are in an industry-leading position. RAYZ currently has core R&D teams in Beijing and Suzhou, and its products can be widely used in ADAS advanced driving assistance systems, autonomous driving, smart infrastructure, robots, surveying and mapping and other fields.
At present, RAYZ Technology has officially released a new generation of powerful hard-core lidar Osprey H2 . It is a mid-to-long-range, cost-effective car-grade lidar specially released for the ADAS pre-installation mass production market and high-end intelligent driving.
Osprey H2 adopts the ultimate optical system design, with a 10% reflectivity target range of 260m and a maximum range of 320m, achieving a new range measurement record for 905nm automotive-grade lidar. Compared with similar lidar products currently in mass production, the detection capability is increased by 30% to 73%, allowing the NOA system to be fearless from distance and sense calmly. The detection performance is comparable to 1550nm lidar products, but the cost is less than one-third. From now on, there is no need to compromise, both performance and cost are available. Osprey H2 not only makes NOA for passenger cars even more powerful, but also gives commercial vehicles, especially trunk logistics commercial vehicles, a new lidar option that is useful and easy to use in NOA scenarios.

Most of Vinfast sales is coming from its affiliated car rental company. Doubtful founder and investors have the patient to turn things around but probably would try to pump the stock prices up to cash out.
