LIVAN Automobile, iFLYTEK to cooperate on automotive intelligence development

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On April 15, 2024, LIVAN Automobile ("LIVAN"), the automaker backed by Geely Auto and Lifan Technology, inked an agreement with Chinese speech technology giant iFLYTEK at the latter's headquarters in Hefei, Anhui Province, for their in-depth strategic cooperation in multiple areas such as intelligent cockpits, intelligent audio, digital marketing.

Inheriting Geely's 27 years of rich experience in car manufacturing and strong R&D capabilities, LIVAN has independently developed the GBRC multilevel architecture ecosystem around "vehicle, station, and cloud" , which covers the vehicle technology architecture, battery-swapping platform, and big data cloud platform. 

As a top-tier artificial intelligence enterprise and a leading supplier of intelligent data technologies in China, iFLYTEK has successfully launched a series of cutting-edge intelligent technologies to the field of new energy vehicles (NEVs). The collaboration with LIVAN will bring a brand-new digital AI innovation upgrade to LIVAN's cost-effective vehicle models priced around 150,000 yuan.

"Through profound cooperation with iFLYTEK in the field of automotive intelligence, the two parties will further power the high-quality development of LIVAN’s vehicles, accelerate the technological accumulation and application of intelligent cockpits and AI large models, and ultimately achieve the intelligent and digital transformation and upgrade of LIVAN Automobile," said Zhou Zongcheng, Chairman of Lifan Technology and CEO of LIVAN.

The LIVAN 7 SUV, one of LIVAN's strategic models, has officially applied the FEIYU vehicle audio-management system, ushering in an immersive sound experience supported by AI technologies.

Upon entering the smart cockpit of LIVAN 7, drivers not only can instantly experience an 5D private cinema vibe through a 50-inch AR-HUD and the Spark (iFLYTEK's AI large model)-exclusive sound tuning, but also can tailor the ESE (Electronic Sound Experience) sound mode based on their personal preferences, further improving the interactive and entertainment value for driving.

Such key models under LIVAN as the LIVAN 7 and the LIVAN 9 will be fully equipped with the iFLYTEK Spark large model. Inside LIVAN cars' cockpits, AI can not only personalize recommendations and empathetic interactions based on user emotions but also activate multifunctional intelligent services such as AI painting, story creation, and English turtoring. Diversified intelligent experiences including contextual understanding, various character settings, and multi-intent comprehension will make interactions between the car's AI and passengers more vivid, intimate, and humanized.

Notably, the LIVAN 7 boasts technical services backed by the "Geely Future Mobility Constellation" low-orbit satellite, and it also comes with over 20 advanced driver assistance features, including top-notch technologies like China's first automotive-grade 7nm cockpit chip  SE1000, and the exclusive 50-inch AR-HUD. Additionally, the LIVAN 7 is also loaded with the 540°panoramic imaging and an emotional intelligent virtual voice assistant.
