On August 11, Liangdao Germany and China Automotive Research Europe testing and Certification Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Automotive Research Europe testing company") jointly announced that the two sides formally reached a strategic cooperation and jointly established the first joint laboratory for laser radar testing in Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Joint Laboratory").
The two sides will devote themselves to the research of lidar industry standards and specifications, provide services such as lidar hardware performance and perception software system testing, and China EU market access, with the aim of strengthening the technical communication and exchange between China and EU enterprises, jointly helping Chinese enterprises to go global and European enterprises to expand their business in China.
Introduction to Joint Laboratory
It is reported that the joint laboratory is located in eldin, Germany (around Munich), covering an area of nearly 1200 square meters. The laboratory has complete testing equipment and can provide laser radar manufacturers with point cloud quality evaluation and hardware reliability evaluation based on the evaluation methods of the automotive industry standards of different countries in Central Europe. It also issues professional evaluation reports to let Chinese enterprises understand European standards and international standards understand Chinese enterprises. In this cooperation, the two sides will give full play to their core advantages in Automobile standard certification, laser radar R & D, system test and verification, data service, etc., and better serve vehicle manufacturers and auto parts enterprises in China and Europe.
Hao Guanqi, head of China Automotive Research European testing company, said: "Liangdao intelligent has strong R & D strength in laser radar technology in Germany. We hope to jointly expand the business scope of both sides through this innovative cooperation mode. At the same time, with the help of mature testing equipment and testing capabilities of European testing companies, we will jointly assist Chinese enterprises to achieve better and deeper development in Europe."
Dr. Ji min, head of Liangdao Germany, said: "At present, there is no unified industry standard for lidar vehicle specification hardware. Based on their profound accumulation in the field of lidar and automobile standards and testing, the two sides promote the methods of lidar test certification in the European market, improve the safety of products in mass production, and bring Chinese good products to Europe. On the other hand, against the background that the global epidemic affects international exchanges, this cooperation can also serve as a bridge for Sino German cooperation and exchange This is a very meaningful thing for the development of the industry. "
Founded in February 2019 in Munich, Germany, China Automotive Research Europe Testing Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd. as a bridge between China and Europe automotive industry, it is committed to providing comprehensive one-stop services for China and Europe automotive industry, including CCC testing certification and related services, consulting training, R & D and transnational cooperation.
Liangdao intelligent was founded in China and Germany in 2017. It has the full stack solution service capability of vehicle mounted mass production lidar system, has excellent international talents and an open global vision, and has profound technical accumulation and rich application experience in the fields of lidar software and hardware development, test and verification.
Liangdao intelligent and China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd. have a good cooperation foundation in China, and maintain close cooperation in the construction of automatic driving scenes and scene libraries. In the next step, the two sides will conduct in-depth discussions, jointly establish a complete and mature laser radar testing and certification process, actively participate in the formulation of international standards for laser radar, and contribute to the promotion of the global laser radar mass production process.
