"Equal rights for fuel and EVs" implemented! neueHCT won multiple key model contracts from a top North China OEM

Recently, neueHCT received a mass production designation notice from a leading OEM in North China. HCT Astra Urban NOA, based on single Horizon Journey® 6M (referred to as "J6M") has been selected as a supplier for several best-selling car models. The models cover the price range of 100,000 to 150,000 RMB. This marks the entry of the company's affordable urban ADAS solution into the mass-market vehicle segment.

Notably, the models included in this designated cooperation cover a variety of powertrains from the OEM, including gasoline and hybrid models. This is an important milestone for neueHCT in practicing the concept of"equal rights for fuel and EVs, and equal access to intelligent driving."

Meanwhile, this collaboration marks the first time the Horizon Journey® 6 series computing solution has secured a mid-to-high-level intelligent driving project with this OEM. It reflects a high degree of strategic alignment among the three parties in the field of intelligent driving, offering a new paradigm for the intelligent development of the automotive industry.

The HCT Astra one-stage End-to-End urban NOA solution, which has been selected for these projects, is built on single J6M computing solution with 128 TOPS computing power and is equipped with an 11V3R (including one 4D millimeter-wave radar) + 12USS sensor architecture. It can be deployed in urban NOA without relying on LiDAR, achieving extreme cost performance and helping the intelligent advancement of national cars in the 100,000 yuan price range with an ultimate safety and experience solution.

This collaboration marks the first batch of designated projects following HCT Astra's iteration of one-stage end-to-end architecture. The new generation of HCT Astra has seen significant improvements in safety capabilities, driving experience, and parking functionality.

In driving scenarios, relying on a one-stage end-to-end architecture, it can seamlessly cover core scenarios such as urban NOA and highway NOA, and achieve full-scenario roaming function based on the same architecture, with smooth start-stop and silky smooth cornering. The parking functions cover APA (Autometic Parking Assist), RPA (remote Parking Assist), and also support OTA HPA, providing all-scenario parking capabilities in one step.

In the field of active safety, HCT Astra integrates R&D experience from multiple generations of platforms from J2 to J6M with massive data accumulation, and adopts high-performance rule algorithms to significantly reduce the rate of false and missed function triggers. It also features multiple protections such as AEB(Automatic Emergency Braking), BSD(Blind Spot Detection), and Omnidirectional Collision Warning. It can also be upgraded via OTA to AES (Automatic emergency steering), truly realizing "luxury active safety" for everyone. It uses hardcore technology to create the best solution for universal all-scenario intelligent driving.

In intelligent driving scenarios,  safety is always the core demand of users. When facing complex urban scenarios such as intersection merging, pedestrian crossings, and non-motorized vehicle encroachment,  it is not only necessary to "see" accurately, but also to make accurate judgments in a short period of time. HCT Astra one-stage end-to-end architecture reduces system latency to under 200ms, significantly enhancing defensive driving capabilities. It continuously anticipates potential risks and executes steady, smooth evasive maneuvers in advance, maximizing travel safety.

In addition, "comfort" has become a product feature that users highly expect. The one-stage end-to-end architecture eliminates the sense of interruption of scenario switching, ensuring seamless continuity during left/right turns, lane changes, and obstacle avoidance. This delivers smooth start-stop transitions and silky cornering without interruption. In complex scenarios such as extremely narrow lanes and alleyways, the system's longitudinal and lateral control mimics human driving. Compared to traditional rule-based solutions, it reduces abrupt braking, hard braking, and weaving maneuvers by over 90%. This achieves "imperceptible" negotiation of traffic, delivering a safe, natural, and efficient driving experience for users. The HCT Astra one-stage end-to-end Urban NOA solution leverages a vast accumulation of tens of millions of clips and continuous data collection from a fleet of hundreds of vehicles. It simultaneously establishes a complete data closed loop with mass-produced vehicles, utilizing reinforcement learning algorithms for continuous performance iteration and evolution, ensuring the driving experience improves with usage.

Currently, neueHCT has formed a product portfolio that covers a full-scenario that offers full-scenario coverage, shares a unified algorithmic architecture, and is highly scalable. This portfolio is designed to accommodate vehicles across all price segments. In 2025, the two product lines, HCT Astra and HCT Luna, secured project designations for more than ten models, demonstrating their ability to rapidly replicate and implement product solutions, while also reflecting customers' high recognition of the neueHCT technology roadmap and product strength.

In the next phase, neueHCT will continue to focus on the goal of "equal rights for fuel and EVs, and equal access to intelligent driving." The company aims to develop more comprehensive and inclusive ADAS products, providing safer, more reliable, and user-friendly intelligent mobility solutions for global users. By collaborating with industry partners to synergize capabilities, neueHCT is committed to jointly propelling the global intelligent driving industry into a new stage of inclusive and high-quality development.
