The total value of the signed project amounted to roughly 1.6 billion yuan ($233.4 million). Covering an area of 40 square kilometers, the intellectualization transformation and upgrades will be carried out in the Tongzhou administrative office district, tourism areas, Zhangjiawan Design Town, and canal business district. Mogo Auto will help the local government with road reconstruction, the commercial operation of autonomous driving vehicles, and the building of a city-level intelligent transportation brain.

According to the plan, the two parties will rely on the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone 3.0 standard system to build an intelligent transportation system centered on vehicle-road-cloud integrated autonomous driving technologies. The partners will build intelligent connected roads that meet the operating conditions of C-V2X and autonomous driving applications. 

After the infrastructure is completed, Mogo Auto will carry out commercial operations of several autonomous services, including street cleaning, security patrols, Robotaxi, touring routes, and commuting connections.

Notably, this marked Mogo Auto’s third autonomous driving deal received in a month. At the end of July, it reached a cooperation with Sichuan Tianfu New Area to build an industrial ecosystem for intelligent connected vehicles, which was worth about 3 billion yuan ($430.6 million). 

On August 18th, Mogo Auto signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Wuxi Liangxi District government to jointly build a city-level intelligent connected vehicle network benchmark project, with a value of about 2 billion yuan ($291.7 million).
