Building on SAIC Z-ONE’ s “Galaxy Full-stack Solution 3.0” integrated intelligent automotive cloud solution, the two parties will deeply investigate the possibilities of cooperation and communication in auto-grade chips and operating systems.  

Founded in May 2020, SAIC Z-ONE aimed to develop highly efficient and cost-effective cloud-pipe-device integrated full-stack technology solutions. In July 2021, its “Galaxy Full-stack Solution 3.0” was officially approved by SAIC Group and started its commercialization. 

SAIC Z-ONE is dedicated to promoting a “software defined cars” reformation and bringing innovations to the industry. The company set a three-layer core architecture with operating systems, hardware solutions, and digital ecosystem. Currently, IM Motors and SAIC’s R Auto have adopted the said Solution and expect to launch mass-production models soon.
