ECARX Strengthens Strategic Partnership with Tencent to Jointly Develop Intelligent Vehicle Solutions

SHANGHAI, China, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX) (“ECARX” or the “Company”), a global mobility tech provider, announced today that it has strengthened its partnership with Tencent Smart Transportation (“Tencent”), the smart mobility division of Tencent Holdings Limited (HKEX: 0700), to jointly develop intelligent driving and cockpit solutions.

This enhanced strategic partnership will seamlessly integrate ECARX's cutting-edge automotive intelligence solutions with Tencent's robust suite of technologies and services in big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, mapping services, and infotainment ecosystems.

Significantly enhancing the existing partnership formed back in 2019, both parties will initially focus on improving the intelligent driving experience and cockpit by integrating Tencent’s fully cloud-based “lightweight” maps and broader ecosystem of apps and services. In tandem, ECARX and Tencent will develop a sophisticated platform to train and operate automotive intelligence large language models (LLM) to drive the evolution of intelligent cockpits for a broader range of automakers globally.

Ziyu Shen, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of ECARX, commented, "Deepening our collaboration with Tencent marks a pivotal milestone for ECARX as we further expand our unique ecosystem of partnerships to grow our customer base and drive technical innovation. Working with Tencent to develop and integrate a robust suite of technologies and services will set a new benchmark for the industry and elevate the user experience to new levels."
