Leapmotor selects Hesai for next-generation vehicle platform
Leapmotor selected Hesai as exclusive long-range lidar provider for multiple models on its next-generation vehicle platform, whose first model was expected to enter production in 2025.
Why it matters
The platform-wide award broadens Hesai's Leapmotor position beyond existing C-series fitments, while the unnamed future sensors and expected production timing remain explicitly bounded.
Evidence notes
- The exclusive award covers automotive long-range lidar for multiple models on Leapmotor's next-generation platform.
- The platform's first model was expected to enter mass production in 2025, so the 2024 record remains a supplier award rather than proof of completed production.
- AT128 equipped existing Leapmotor C-series intelligent-driving models, but the announcement did not name the exact lidar for every future platform model.
Company context
