SANY and Ambarella forge partnership on intellgent driving systems

SANY Group and Ambarella have joined forces in a strategic collaboration to develop advanced mobility solutions for the global market. Leveraging Ambarella's CV3-AD automotive AI domain controller systems-on-chip (SoCs), SANY aims to enhance automated driving capabilities in its next-gen commercial and special-purpose vehicles.

SANY will utilize Ambarella's powerful CV3-AD SoCs to develop and validate advanced automated driving solutions for its vehicles. Both parties will collaborate on creating high-performance automated driving solutions and work towards market promotion. The aim is to introduce the first collaborative vehicle model by 2025.

SANY's focus on globalization, digitalization, and decarbonization aligns well with Ambarella's strategic direction. The partnership aims to capitalize on the opportunities presented by AI and advanced technology. Ambarella's CV3-AD SoCs boast low power consumption, high performance, and exceptional image processing capabilities. They support various autonomous driving functions, contributing to intelligent driving solutions.

By integrating Ambarella's CV3-AD AI domain control SoCs, SANY and Ambarella seek to accelerate the deployment of advanced intelligent solutions in commercial and special-purpose vehicles, addressing engineering labor shortages and driving the trend towards unmanned machine operations.

Xiang Wenbo, rotating chairman of SANY Group, and chairman of SANY Heavy Industry, extended a warm welcome to the arrival of Fermi Wang, president and CEO of Ambarella. Wenbo presented SANY’s vigorous implementation of the company’s “globalization, digitalization and decarbonization” strategy, in the face of the immense technology opportunity brought by the combination of the fourth industrial revolution and the third energy revolution. Based on SANY Group’s future development strategy, as well as the explosive development and wide application of artificial intelligence, Wenbo expressed that there are broad prospects for this new SANY-Ambarella cooperation, and he hopes to deepen and expand cooperation further for a mutually successful future.

Wang expressed that Ambarella’s strategic development direction aligns closely with that of SANY Group, particularly in terms of digitalization and decarbonization. He elaborated that Ambarella’s AI SoCs lead the industry with their low power consumption, high performance and outstanding image processing capabilities. With a rich and comprehensive SoC product portfolio, Ambarella has demonstrated its capability across various fields of automotive intelligent driving. For instance, its CV2 SoC family, based on 10nm manufacturing process technology, has shipped over 20 million units. Additionally, the CV3-AD family, based on a 5nm automotive-grade process, can provide industry-leading AI processing performance. For example, the CV3-AD SoCs can support birds-eye-view (BEV) transformer neural networks, which enable precise perception and fusion without high-precision maps, city navigation on autopilot (NOA), planning, control and may other autonomous driving functions, thereby providing strong support for intelligent driving.

By incorporating Ambarella’s CV3-AD AI domain control SoCs and leveraging SANY Group’s leading position in the industry, both parties will accelerate the large-scale application of advanced intelligent solutions in commercial vehicles and special-purpose vehicles. This strategic cooperation also aims to address the labor shortages in engineering operations and lead the new trend of unmanned machine operations.
