Qiangu Technology completed tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round of financing

Recently, Shanghai Qiangu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Qiangu Technology) completed a Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of RMB. This round was led by HELLA, the world’s leading automotive Tier 1 parts manufacturer, and followed by Yijing Capital. This round of funds is mainly used for new product research and development, purchase of equipment and other work.

Qiangu Technology focuses on the field of drive-by-wire chassis, and is committed to providing key components and system integration of next-generation chassis such as brake-by-wire and steering-by-wire for electric vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles. With the development of electrification and intelligence, the automobile chassis will also usher in changes. On the one hand, the electric vehicle cancels the engine, and requires the braking, steering and other systems in the chassis to get rid of the dependence on the engine and switch to electric drive. On the other hand, the autonomous driving system requires the chassis to realize man-machine decoupling, and can autonomously perform tasks such as acceleration, deceleration, and steering, and the chassis has also undergone transformation: from “hard connection” to “soft connection”, so as to realize human-controlled orientation. The transformation and upgrade of the wire control.

The brake-by-wire system is the “top priority” of the wire-controlled chassis, which has the characteristics of high complexity and high safety level. With years of technical iteration and engineering experience accumulation, Qiangu Technology starts with the brake-by-wire system and gradually expands to systems such as steering-by-wire and suspension-by-wire. The products will cover the complete chassis domain.

The core components of the brake-by-wire system

The founding team masters the core technology and has proposed the first new eBooster (electronic brake booster) solution with independent intellectual property rights in China. At the same time, it has the industry-leading functional safety technology (the highest ASIL-D level), which can meet the safety requirements of car enterprise customers. Strict requirements for reliability. In addition, the founding team also has rich resources in the automotive industry, complete development process experience, and rich experience in mass production projects, which can help the company quickly open up the market. The company has obtained the designation of a number of car companies to mass-produce models, and it is expected to be put into production within the year.
