The collaboration aims to make it possible to develop software dedicated to intelligent cockpits

Forvia and Chery have signed a strategic cooperation agreement establishing a long-term partnership in various fields, with a particular focus on the development of intelligent cockpits, according to a company press release on September 26.

To cater to the growing demand for intelligent cockpits and strengthen their leading position in this highly competitive market, Forvia and Chery will intensify their association in the design and development of complete solutions for intelligent cockpits. The collaboration partnership between both companies will make it possible to develop software dedicated to intelligent cockpits and a platform integrating Forvia's products and technologies. These elements will be integrated into Chery vehicles to provide a consistent user experience, both inside and outside the vehicle. In addition to strengthening their business partnership, the two companies will share common goals on environmental, social and governance, and CO2-emissions reduction, to promote environmentally friendly growth.

Significance: Forvia offers a strong set of capabilities in a variety of areas including comfort, customization and intuitive interactions, while reducing CO2 emissions thanks to innovative materials and modular architectures. Chery is known for its commitment to technological innovation, producing quality vehicles and providing premium services to its customers worldwide. With a strategy focused on user needs and cutting-edge technologies, Chery is expanding its global presence by becoming a competitive and influential brand.

Commenting on the partnership, Patrick Koller, managing director of Forvia, said, “China is a key pillar of [Forvia's] global presence, with nearly 30,000 employees spread across 95 sites in 30 cities. A technological stronghold, China is at the heart of innovation in the field of electric mobility.
