Leapmotor, Hesai Technology form Strategic Collaboration

On March 7, Chinese new energy vehicle maker Leapmotor and LiDAR solution provider Hesai Technology officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Hangzhou.

Leveraging Hesai's next-generation high-performance LiDAR products, Leapmotor aims to advance the R&D and application of intelligent products across multiple new vehicle models, fostering a top-tier intelligent driving experience through close collaboration.

The partnership, which began at the end of 2021, equips multiple models in Leapmotor's C product series with Hesai's AT128 high-definition long-range LiDAR. Their first collaborative model, the C10, recently hit the market, introducing LiDAR into the 160,000-yuan mainstream consumer market.

Leapmotor's advanced NAP (Navigation Assist Pilot) function covers both highway and urban expressway scenarios, with future upgrades planned to include urban NAP intelligent driving. This strategic partnership reaffirms Leapmotor's recognition of Hesai's R&D technology, product quality, and mass production capabilities.
