On February 9, 2026, CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “CAIT”) signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Horizon Robotics (hereinafter referred to as “Horizon”). The two parties will focus on the intelligent upgrade needs of new energy vehicles, aiming to deliver a “highly intelligent and highly safe smart mobility experience”, and will jointly provide outstanding intelligent mobility solutions to global automotive OEMs and end users.

Zhu Wei, President of Horizon, and Yang Hanbing, Managing Director of CAIT, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective companies. The signing was witnessed by Li Ping, Co-founder and Vice Chairman of CATL, and Yu Kai, Founder and CEO of Horizon.

CAIT will provide its Bedrock Chassis product portfolio and related technologies, while Horizon will contribute its full-scenario assisted driving products and solutions, along with its core automotive intelligence capabilities. Through coordinated software-hardware integration and cross-domain collaboration, the two parties will jointly explore a comprehensive intelligent system spanning from underlying architecture to upper-level applications, delivering more competitive and diversified product offerings and service support to OEM customers both in China and overseas.

CAIT is a subsidiary of CATL dedicated to the R&D and technical services of integrated intelligent chassis products, with its core offering being the Bedrock Chassis. As an independent intelligent mobility platform, the Bedrock Chassis highly integrates key technologies such as the battery, electric drive, thermal management, and chassis domain controller. This integration significantly enhances the cell-to-chassis assembly efficiency and the cell-to-electric drive system conversion efficiency. At the same time, by decoupling from the vehicle body, it enables the synchronized development and parallel iteration of the vehicle body space and intelligent driving modules, efficiently supporting partners in technology iteration and product implementation.

Horizon focuses on advanced driver-assistance solutions for passenger vehicles, integrating leading algorithms, specialized software, and advanced processing hardware to provide core technologies for automotive intelligence. Its offerings include full-scenario assisted driving software algorithms, automotive-grade domain controllers, and supporting hardware, covering system integration and mass production validation to further enhance driver and passenger safety and experience. Horizon has become the first domestic smart driving technology brand to surpass ten million units in shipment, with its product solutions widely adopted by 27 global automakers across 42 vehicle brands. Its latest launch, the industry’s first mass-produced, single-stage, end-to-end full-scenario assisted driving system—Horizon HSD™ (Horizon Super Drive™)—is helping usher the industry into a new era of accessible intelligent driving.

As market demand for automotive intelligence continues to grow, the collaboration between CAIT and Horizon represents a significant exploration of the deep integration between the “intelligent vehicle platform” and the “intelligent brain”. Looking ahead, the two parties will continue to drive the development of an open and innovative ecosystem for new energy intelligent vehicles, empowering a future of highly intelligent and highly safe mobility.
