Aion, the electric vehicle unit of Chinese automaker GAC Group, has partnered with Momenta for the supply of a Level 2+ advanced driver assistance system, a major client win for the autonomous vehicle startup after previous deals with auto majors including BYD. GAC, a longtime manufacturing partner of Toyota and Honda in China, and Momenta, backed by several car giants including General Motors, Toyota, and SAIC, will together push for a wide release of the Navigated Driving Assist (NDA) function on Aion-branded EVs. A growing number of cars models from major automotive groups will now use or have implemented Momenta’s technology for assisted driving functions such as automated overtaking and lane changing, including the Toyota bZ3X crossover, Mercedes-Benz’s CLA class, and SAIC’s IM Motors lineup. Eight-year-old Momenta, headquartered in the eastern Chinese city of Suzhou, in June received approval for a public listing on Nasdaq from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
