On March 23, Geely-controlled tech company, Ecovacs Technology, announced a joint venture with Volvo Cars to develop a new generation of intelligent operating systems for vehicles. The joint venture will be located in Gothenburg, Sweden and is expected to officially start operations in the third quarter of 2021.
Ecovacs Technology is an independent tech ecosystem enterprise that provides intelligent cockpits and autonomous driving technology support for vehicles. Its GKUI19 car system has been installed in various Geely, Lynk & Co, and Geometry models, but has yet to be integrated into any Volvo products.
The vehicle’s intelligent operating system can significantly improve the intelligent cockpit experience, optimize vehicle control, and in recent years has seen many car companies and tech companies such as Ideal Automobile, Audi, and Tencent announce the development of vehicle intelligent operating systems.
