Beijing (Gasgoo)- On December 27, four regions in the Guangdong-Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area—Nansha, Hengqin, Qianhai, and Bao'an—signed the Framework Agreement for Mutual Recognition of Intelligent and Connected Vehicle (ICV) Demonstration Applications.
The agreement aims to establish a mutual recognition mechanism for ICV pilot programs, enhancing interconnectivity and resource sharing across these regions. OnTime, GAC Group's mobility service platform, was named one of the first four participating companies and received official certification during the signing ceremony.
Under the agreement, eligible ICV enterprises can leverage a "Three Systems, One Enhancement" framework: mutual recognition of qualifications, shared road access, coordinated regulatory systems, and improved operational oversight. Vehicles authorized in one region can be registered and operated in other participating areas, with plans to streamline application and approval processes across all four regions.
This initiative will facilitate unified regulatory data platforms, enabling seamless oversight and data sharing among participating regions. The framework also aims to expand the mutual recognition network to more areas within the Greater Bay Area, setting a benchmark for city-cluster ICV applications nationwide.
OnTime has long been committed to advancing autonomous driving technologies in the Greater Bay Area, including pioneering mixed Robotaxi and human-driven ride-hailing services in 2022. This agreement represents a significant milestone in scaling the commercial deployment of autonomous mobility solutions.
