Hesai Technology to supply LiDAR products for top Chinese auto startup

Beijing (Gasgoo)- Hesai Technology, a LiDAR developer and manufacturer, announced March 13 that its designated LiDAR supply project with a leading Chinese auto startup is about to enter the mass production phase.

This high-end intelligent vehicle brand operates under a major global automotive group, said Hesai. Multiple vehicle models from the brand will come equipped with Hesai's ATX LiDAR this year, with the first model set to hit the market soon. As the partnership deepens, Hesai's advanced LiDAR technology will significantly enhance the brand's intelligent driving system.

The LiDAR market is experiencing rapid growth. According to the Gasgoo Auto Research Institute, LiDAR penetration rate in China's new energy vehicle market priced above 150,000 yuan reached 29% in December 2024. As an "invisible safety airbag" for intelligent vehicles, LiDAR is becoming a key component in mass-market applications.

Hesai introduced the new-generation ATX LiDAR in 2024, featuring a compact design, ultra-high resolution, and long-range detection. Built on Hesai's latest fourth-generation chip architecture, the ATX model integrates an upgraded optical-mechanical design and enhanced laser transceiver modules, achieving a balance of small size and powerful performance.

Since its market launch, the ATX LiDAR has gained significant traction among domestic and international automakers, securing designated contracts for dozens of mass-produced vehicle models. With an annual production capacity exceeding 2 million units in 2025, Hesai's ATX LiDAR is set for large-scale deployment.
