Question
Ming-Hsun Lee of Bank of America asked about the autonomous driving and smart cabin strategy for the Zeekr and Lynk & Co brands, including the timeline for technology integration. He also inquired about the powertrain strategy, specifically if Lynk & Co would adopt Zeekr's more advanced Super Hybrid technology and the plan for phasing out ICE vehicles.
Answer
An executive, speaking through an interpreter, explained that both brands will share a unified ADAS and infotainment solution at the base, middle, and hardware levels, though HMI design will differ. The Lynk & Co 900 will be the first to use the H7 system with NVIDIA Drive. Regarding powertrains, the executive clarified that Zeekr will use the super electric hybrid technology while Lynk & Co will not, though they share common components. The company will maintain limited investment in ICE vehicles to meet specific domestic and international demand while accelerating R&D in new energy vehicles.
