As a well-known autonomous driving solution supplier, HoloMatic was founded in 2017 and has established a complete layout not only from Artificial Intelligence Algorithms to Embedded Systems, but also from Closed-loop Big Data to System Iteration Evolution, with the full-stack R&D capability on autonomous driving.

GAC Group, which is one of the largest China local automobile groups, with the average annual sales volume exceeding 2 million units in recent years, has two independent brands, GAC Trumpchi and GAC AION. Among them, GAC AION is a blade electric vehicle brand launched by GAC Group in response to the heat wave of smart vehicles. As of October, GAC AION's cumulative sales volume in 2022 had exceeded 210,000 units, with an average monthly sales volume of more than 30,000 units, ranking among the top 3 electric vehicle brands in China.

In November last year, HoloMatic reached a deep cooperation with GAC Group and received exclusive financing of Series C1 funding from GAC Capital. The two sides are integrating advantageous resources and cooperating to implement the industrialization of smart vehicles. According to the plan, the autonomous driving plan of HoloMatic will be gradually installed in the mass production on various models of GAC Trumpchi and GAC AION from 2022.

After receiving this series of financing, in addition to the deep cooperation with GAC Group, HoloMatic will also provide many leading vehicle enterprises with platform self-driving development services on autonomous driving. The autonomous driving domain controller independently developed by HoloMatic, also designated by many leading independent brand vehicle companies in 2022, which will be mass-produced and launch in 2023.

With the varied changes of the world economy in recent years and the large-scale popularization of smart vehicles, the development of the autonomous driving innovation lane has become more pragmatic and more focused on the implementation of technical mass production. Benefiting by the leading artificial intelligence innovation capability and steady engineering mass production capacity accumulated in the development of past five years, HoloMatic continues to be concerned and recommended by automobile manufacturers and investment institutions under the industry downturn. The completion of this series of financing can be seen as an achievement against the trend in such a challenging industry situation.
