CATL’s Times Intelligent and Horizon Robotics Strike Deal for Integrated Smart Chassis and Assisted‑Driving Platform

The partnership targets global carmakers with a combined hardware–software solution spanning a modular chassis plus full‑scenario assisted driving.

Overview

  • Times Intelligent and Horizon signed a strategic cooperation to align smart‑chassis development with assisted‑driving systems for new energy vehicles.
  • Times Intelligent will supply its Panshi smart chassis, which integrates battery, electric drive, thermal management and a chassis domain controller, and is engineered to be decoupled from the vehicle body for parallel development.
  • Horizon will provide full‑scenario assisted‑driving algorithms, vehicle‑grade domain controllers and supporting hardware for an end‑to‑end intelligent stack.
  • Both companies say the offering is intended for domestic and overseas OEMs, promising synchronized development from base architecture to applications with broader product choices and service support.
  • Zhu Wei made his public debut as Horizon’s new president at the signing even as filings have not yet reflected the change, and local reports say Chen Liming is moving to a vice‑chair role focused on strategic decisions.
