2026-05-07 11:36
On April 25, during the Auto China 2026 exhibition, Hirain Technologies and Axera officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will deeply integrate their software-hardware system integration capabilities with intelligent driving chip technologies, jointly creating intelligent driving solutions that combine global competitiveness with cost advantages.
Based on the principles of “resource sharing, complementary strengths, win-win cooperation, and joint development,” the two parties will leverage their core advantages in intelligent driving system integration and intelligent driving chips to carry out deep collaboration in key areas such as localized smart forward perception, integrated driving-and-parking platforms, and the underlying AI computing ecosystem. Through the close coupling of software and hardware capabilities, they will jointly explore pathways to bring cutting-edge technologies to deployment, accelerate the R&D and mass production of next-generation intelligent driving solutions, and work hand in hand with upstream and downstream partners across the industry chain to build an open and efficient intelligent driving ecosystem.
Hirain Technologies’ Chairman and General Manager, Ji Yingcun, said: “The in-depth development of intelligent driving cannot be achieved without the support of high-performance, highly reliable automotive-grade chips. Axera’s software-hardware integrated technology roadmap and rapid product iteration capabilities are highly complementary to Hirain Technologies’ experience in intelligent driving system integration and large-scale delivery. This cooperation is not only a close handshake across the industry chain, but also an important integration of the domestic intelligent driving industry’s systemic innovation capabilities.”
Axera’s Founder and Chairwoman, Qiu Xiaoshen, said: “The large-scale deployment of intelligent driving products needs deep collaboration at both the chip and system levels. Hirain Technologies has profound industry accumulation and a broad customer base in system integration and mass production delivery, while Axera will give full play to its core strengths in intelligent driving chips and the software ecosystem. Both parties can thus fully leverage their respective strengths to jointly provide automakers with intelligent driving solutions that are safe, reliable, deliver excellent user experience, and offer a superior ‘smart cost-effectiveness’.”
This strategic cooperation marks a new phase of collaboration between the two parties in the field of intelligent driving. In the future, Hirain Technologies and Axera will continue to deepen their cooperation in technology, products, and ecosystem, jointly building a safe, efficient, and open intelligent driving innovation system, and injecting new momentum into the intelligent transformation of the global automotive industry.
