Li Auto opens R&D center in Germany

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lixiang Auto Inc (Li Auto) opened its first overseas research and development (R&D) center in the German city of Munich, as the company continues to ramp up its overseas sales activities.

Li Auto said the aim of the R&D center is to cooperate with European component manufacturers in developing next-generation technologies, including technologies related to AI, power semiconductors, smart chassis systems, electric powertrains and overall vehicle design.

Through the new R&D center, the car manufacturer also wants to gain a better understanding of the European market and develop products that are better ‘in line’ with European car regulations and consumer preferences.

Li Auto CEO Ma Donghui said in a statement: “This R&D center marks the official start of Li Auto’s global strategy. It will also serve as a cornerstone of our core artificial intelligence (AI) strategy, with almost half of our R&D investments currently focused on AI technologies.”
