Sany, a prominent Chinese commercial vehicle developer, is poised to revolutionize the construction industry by integrating cutting-edge 5nm AI chips from Ambarella, a leading technology company based in the US. This strategic collaboration aims to introduce state-of-the-art self-driving capabilities to Sany's next-generation commercial and special-purpose vehicles, encompassing trucks, excavators, cranes, and mining vehicles.

The partnership will center on leveraging Ambarella's CV3-AD automotive AI domain controller systems-on-chip (SoCs) to power autonomous driving systems tailored for the global market. These advanced solutions promise enhanced performance and integration, marking a significant step forward in the realm of automated driving technology.

Furthermore, both Sany and Ambarella will join forces to develop high-performance automated driving solutions, with a shared commitment to promoting these innovations within the industry. The ultimate objective is to launch the first collaborative vehicle model by 2025, setting a new standard for autonomous commercial vehicles worldwide.

Sany's overarching strategy, emphasizing globalization, digitalization, and decarbonization, aligns with the objectives of the fourth industrial revolution and the third energy revolution. Xiang Wenbo, the rotating chairman of the group, underscores the importance of this collaboration in driving forward these transformative initiatives.

Ambarella's CV2 SoC family, already boasting over 20 million units shipped, serves as a solid foundation for this partnership. With the introduction of the CV3-AD family, featuring 5nm automotive-grade process technology, the collaboration aims to achieve unparalleled AI processing performance. These advancements enable a range of autonomous driving functions, including birds-eye-view transformer neural networks, city navigation on autopilot (NOA), and precise perception and fusion capabilities.

This strategic partnership between Sany and Ambarella represents a significant advancement in the B2B landscape, promising to redefine the future of commercial vehicles through innovation and collaboration.
