SHANGHAI, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX Holdings Inc.

Cloudpeak® is a key product line for us and leverages our unique ability to develop full-stack solutions in-house, and in close collaboration with other suppliers, technology companies, and automakers. Volvo EX30 has generated strong sales globally with over 100,000 units sold as of January 2025, reflecting the unique value proposition we offer and the impact it can have on differentiating the vehicle in a highly competitive market."
