The company confirmed it will maintain full operational independence, preserving its existing management team, technology roadmap, and brand strategy. FAW Group, as a new strategic shareholder, will support Zhuoyu primarily through business cooperation and resource sharing rather than direct management involvement.
FAW Group joins a strong investor base that includes New Territory Technology, BYD, Hengxu Capital, and BAIC Capital, reflecting broad industry recognition of Zhuoyu’s technical capabilities and market potential.
Cooperation between Zhuoyu and FAW began in April 2024 with a focus on advanced smart driving systems for future Hongqi vehicles. Zhuoyu’s software-defined perception and end-to-end intelligent driving solutions are now integrated across multiple Hongqi models, including TianGong 08, TianGong 05, TianGong 06, the 2025 EH7, and HS6 PHEV. These vehicles offer nationwide highway and urban navigation assistance, automated parking, and other advanced driver-assistance functions.
Select models incorporate Zhuoyu’s proprietary inertial-navigation visual system, which combines binocular bio-inspired imaging with long-focus monocular sensors for enhanced long-distance detection and improved handling of complex road conditions. Powered by Qualcomm’s SA8650P platform delivering approximately 200 TOPS of sparse computing performance, the system provides smooth, human-like driving behaviour.
In addition to FAW, Zhuoyu has established partnerships with SAIC-GM-Wuling, Chery, FAW-Volkswagen, Great Wall Motor, and BAIC, among others. Its advanced driver-assistance systems are being deployed across an expanding range of mass-production vehicles, accelerating Zhuoyu’s commercialization and strengthening its position within China’s fast-growing autonomous driving ecosystem.
