For us, 2018 was a year of great changes; we increased the number of connected vehicles using our services with more than 50%, new customers have entered and we became an independent company globally.

Car connectivity in China is booming

Thanks to the Chinese government’s great encouragement, changing consumer expectations, the evolution of connected vehicle technology and the power from the capital market, China is now expected to be in the forefront for intelligent and connected vehicles (ICV) in the coming years. The industry is expected to reach around CNY100 billion (USD 14.4 billion) by 2020 according to MIIT. Thanks to China’s great effort through its ICV Roadmap, 50% of new vehicles sold in 2020 will be equipped with ICV functions, including 10% conditional autonomous vehicles (L3). According to McKinsey, China will likely emerge as the world’s largest market for autonomous vehicles, worth more than $500 billion in revenue from sales of new autonomous vehicles and mobility services by 2030. In short, the biggest automotive market China, now becomes the battle ground for automakers and internet giants and we are happy to be there and ready to help out.
