Gasgoo Munich- The 2026 Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE 2026) kicked off in Shanghai on March 12, marking a milestone for Dreame Technology. The company's automotive arm, the Starry Sky Project, took the stage with its first standalone booth, showcasing a lineup that included the global debut of the Nebula NEXT 01X SUV concept, the China premiere of the Nebula NEXT 01 series, and the high-performance Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition. Beyond the vehicles, the brand pulled back the curtain on its proprietary technology across design, intelligent cockpits, powertrain systems, and chassis architecture.

Design-wise, the Nebula NEXT 01 concept ditches the traditional grille for active air curtains, creating a thermal management system with adjustable airflow. The side profile features a "Lightning Waistline" that integrates active flow control, while the rear fuses active aerodynamic components with crash structures to balance efficiency and safety. According to the company, this approach prioritizes the fusion of physical principles with engineering execution.
Inside the cabin, the Starry Sky Project envisions the car as a "silent, operating central brain." By leveraging the time spent driving, the system can remotely dispatch home robots to handle cleaning tasks, ensuring everything is finished before the owner arrives. Furthermore, a decoupled hardware and software architecture allows the vehicle to support future applications—such as AR glasses integration, drone accompaniment, and remote pet monitoring—while remaining compatible with diverse regional software ecosystems.
On the powertrain front, the brand unveiled its "Tosen Lightyear" dual-flux technology, designed to resolve high-speed cylinder rubbing issues while balancing performance with quiet operation. The "Starry Sky Core" battery, touted as the world's first mass-producible 60Ah all-solid-state power battery, promises a range exceeding 1,000 km. Paired with the Core AI-BMS system—keeping display errors within 3%—and a CTP4.0 solution boasting 80% assembly efficiency, the technology is also destined for future use in drones and aircraft.
Chassis architecture takes center stage with the "Starry Sky Patrol" intelligent chassis, which integrates an EMAD electromagnetic fully active suspension to unify perception, decision-making, and execution. A CIC 14-degree-of-freedom nonlinear control architecture deeply fuses the chassis, powertrain, and autonomous driving domains, while an EMB intelligent braking system slashes response times to under 80 milliseconds. This setup enables over 30 advanced functions, including lateral parking and tank turns.
Following its global debut at CES in January—where it introduced the "Starry Sky Twelve Full-Stack Technology System"—and a high-profile marketing push during February's Super Bowl and the Spring Festival Gala, the AWE appearance marks the project's first step toward tangible implementation. The company confirmed that mass-produced models are proceeding on schedule, with a market launch expected in 2027.
