The Team in China Will Enhance Arbe's Collaboration with Key Companies in the Area
TEL AVIV, Israel, March 20, 2024 - Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ: ARBE), a global leader in Perception Radar solutions, today announces that it opened an office in Shanghai, China, solidifying the company's presence in the region. The team in China will enhance Arbe's collaboration with key companies in the area.
The strategic move will position Arbe closer to the local OEMs and to the Chinese market, helping the company provide better customer service and position Arbe to gain market share. Arbe's new wholly-owned subsidiary will support Arbe's tier 1s in China and work with their OEMs from the sales phase through the support and production process, providing the Chinese market with a full cycle solution.
"We see tremendous growth and innovation in the fast-moving Chinese market and have taken active steps to support the Chinese automotive industry's accelerated development," says Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe. "The opening of an office in Shanghai not only demonstrates our commitment to our Chinese tier 1s and customers, but also represents our firm determination to provide leading Perception Radar solutions, that will enhance road safety and eventually autonomy."
Arbe has recently announced major progress in China and believes its physical presence will drive additional strategic alliances. Some of the major announcement in the region include:
HiRain Technologies, a leading provider of intelligent driving solutions to car manufacturers in China, will begin the mass production of state-of-the-art LRR610 Imaging Radars, powered by the Arbe chipset, by the end of 2024. HiRain is also embarking on a rigorous data collection phase that will cover 1 million kilometers using a vehicle fleet equipped with LRR610 Imaging Radars. This development initiative is designed to optimize the fusion and perception system, which enables key automotive safety features.
Arbe's tier 1, Sensrad AB, received significant customer orders from its Chinese affiliates for radar systems leveraging Arbe's chipset. Sensrad's customers are found in a range of industries, from autonomous robotics and transportation systems to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS).
Weifu High-Technology Group, a prominent tier 1 supplier in the Chinese automotive market, issued an $11.6 million preliminary order for Arbe radar chipsets as well as a $1 million order of professional services for radar systems design based on the Arbe chipset, including: engineering services, setup of a testing lab, and advanced support from Arbe.
Arbe and Weifu High-Technology Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with KargoBot, DiDi's autonomous freight company, to provide 4D Imaging Radars based on the Arbe proprietary chipset. The three parties agreed to establish a cooperation platform in China to jointly promote the R&D and commercial applications of 4D Imaging Radars in the field of autonomous driving.
HiRain Technologies was selected by the Port of RiZhao in the Shandong Province to provide perception radars, based on Arbe's chipset. The deployment was implemented on FAW Trucks and on automated guided vehicles (AGVs. The first deployment started at the RiZhao port and will be expanded to additional ports across China.
中國團隊將加強Arbe與該地區主要公司的合作
以色列特拉維夫,2024年3月20日——感知雷達解決方案領域的全球領導者Arbe Robotics Ltd.(納斯達克股票代碼:ARBE)今天宣佈在中國上海開設辦事處,鞏固了該公司在該地區的影響力。中國團隊將加強Arbe與該地區主要公司的合作。
該戰略舉措將使Arbe更接近當地原始設備製造商和中國市場,幫助該公司提供更好的客戶服務,使Arbe能夠獲得市場份額。Arbe的新全資子公司將爲Arbe在中國的一級汽車提供支持,並從銷售階段到支持和生產流程與其OEM合作,爲中國市場提供全週期解決方案。
Arbe首席執行官科比·馬倫科說:“我們看到了快速變化的中國市場的巨大增長和創新,並已採取積極措施支持中國汽車行業的加速發展。”“在上海開設辦事處不僅表明了我們對中國一線企業和客戶的承諾,也代表了我們提供領先的Perception Radar解決方案的堅定決心,這將增強道路安全,最終提高自主性。”
Arbe最近宣佈在中國取得的重大進展,並認爲其實體存在將推動更多的戰略聯盟。該地區的一些主要公告包括:
HiRain Technologies是爲中國汽車製造商提供智能駕駛解決方案的領先供應商,將在2024年底之前開始批量生產由Arbe芯片組提供支持的最先進的 LRR610 成像雷達。HiRain 還進入了嚴格的數據收集階段,該階段將使用配備 LRR610 成像雷達的車隊覆蓋 100 萬公里。該開發計劃旨在優化融合和感知系統,從而實現關鍵的汽車安全功能。
Arbe旗下的一級公司Sensrad AB從其中國子公司那裏獲得了大量客戶訂單,訂購了利用Arbe芯片組的雷達系統。Sensrad的客戶遍佈各行各業,從自主機器人和運輸系統到智能交通系統(ITS)和智能交通管理系統(ITMS)。
中國汽車市場著名的一級供應商威孚高科技集團發佈了價值1160萬美元的Arbe雷達芯片組初步訂單,以及100萬美元的基於Arbe芯片組的雷達系統設計專業服務訂單,包括:工程服務、測試實驗室的設置和Arbe的高級支持。
Arbe和威孚高科技集團與滴滴自主貨運公司KargoBot簽署了戰略合作協議,提供基於Arbe專有芯片組的4D成像雷達。三方同意在中國建立合作平台,共同推動4D成像雷達在自動駕駛領域的研發和商業應用。
HiRain Technologies被山東省日照港選中提供基於Arbe芯片組的感知雷達。該部署是在一汽卡車和自動導引車(AGV)上實施的。首次部署始於日照港,並將擴展到中國各地的其他港口。
