Comment
Intelligent layout plus code, launch Art SOA developer platform. Electronic and electrical architecture and other top-level design and the upgrading of key software and hardware products are the key to the realization of automotive intelligence. The company actively promotes research and development in related fields and product layout. In 2021, the VCU (vehicle controller) independently developed by the company has been successfully applied in the project. Today, the SOA developer platform is online, we think to show the company's strong product cashing ability. SOA is a software design paradigm that is more in line with the requirements of "automobile definition software". It can realize software and hardware decoupling, form stronger OTA iterative upgrade ability, and provide more personalized software services. However, it is different from the signal-oriented architecture in the traditional automotive electronic and electrical architecture, which puts forward higher requirements for software development processes, methods and tools. Art SOA developer platform is mainly for OEM developers, and can provide corresponding development tools and development modules, which will help to improve development efficiency, shorten the iteration cycle, and improve the company's automotive digital full-stack solution service matrix.
Spare parts business gradually develop, develop skateboard chassis and ODM and other innovative business, to achieve R & D + manufacturing two-wheel drive. Centering on powertrain technology, the company has successively promoted the development and mass production of parts such as V6 engine, new energy reducer, coupler, extender and DHT gearbox assembly. since July 2022, the company has supplied DHT gearbox assembly to Shangtong Wuling.

R & D design business full of orders-on-hand to support short-term performance, carry out the second phase of buyback to enhance development confidence.

In addition, the company announced on August 9 that it plans to carry out the second phase of share repurchase for the implementation of employee stock ownership plan or equity incentive plan, the repurchase price is not more than 25.26 yuan per share.
