SAIC-GM-Wuling Strategic Cooperation on Intelligent Chassis

SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd and the SAIC Motor Chassis Team, comprising Shanghai Huizhong Automotive Manufacturing Co., Ltd and DIAS Automotive Electronic Systems Co., Ltd, have signed a strategic cooperation agreement centered on SAIC-GM-Wuling Strategic Cooperation. The agreement establishes a long-term cooperation mechanism focused on chassis business synergy, joint development, and industrial collaboration. The companies will coordinate efforts across chassis-related technologies and development activities, creating a framework intended to support deeper integration between vehicle systems and manufacturing capabilities while providing a foundation for continued technology evolution.

The two parties will jointly research vehicle motion control (VMC) technologies and advance coordinated control and functional integration across steering, braking, suspension, and drive systems. Their work will also cover the evolution of braking systems from Two-box to One-box and ultimately to electromechanical brake (EMB), alongside T-Box remote control, function expansion, and AI-enabled chassis applications. These areas combine chassis control, braking development, remote functionality, and artificial intelligence to expand the capabilities of integrated vehicle systems while supporting the planned progression of braking and control technologies.

The collaboration will further focus on a “chassis + drive + battery” architecture to explore a highly integrated and reusable intelligent lower-body platform. Modular design and continuous evolution of interconnection technologies will be leveraged to support the Intelligent Island manufacturing model. Through this approach, the cooperation is intended to connect chassis, drive, and battery functions within a reusable platform while maintaining modularity and enabling ongoing interconnection improvements. The initiative therefore combines platform integration, system coordination, and manufacturing collaboration as part of the companies’ broader chassis business synergy and joint development efforts.
