Aeva Secures Major OEM LiDAR Contract

Aeva Technologies has been awarded a development program by a top 10 global passenger OEM for its next-generation vehicle platform, focusing on Aeva’s Atlas Ultra 4D LiDAR sensor. Additionally, Aeva has received a letter of intent from the same OEM for a large-scale multi-year production program, underscoring its growing role in the autonomous driving sector.

Key Highlights:

  • Development Program: Centers on Aeva’s Atlas Ultra 4D LiDAR with a 2027 production start.
  • Production Opportunity: Letter of intent for a multi-year program award this year, covering multiple vehicle models.
  • Industry Momentum: Builds on Aeva’s existing production with Daimler Truck.
  • CEO’s Insight: Soroush Salehian calls it a “major validation” of Aeva’s technology.

Aeva Technologies specializes in advanced sensing systems for autonomous vehicles. Its 4D LiDAR technology uniquely detects both position and velocity, enhancing safety and decision-making. The OEM’s program will use Aeva’s slim Atlas Ultra sensor, ideal for vehicle integration, with production set for 2027. The letter of intent signals potential for a broader production deal across the OEM’s global platform. This win follows Aeva’s ongoing work with Daimler Truck, one of the world’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, showcasing its credibility as a Tier 1 supplier.

CEO Soroush Salehian said, “This win is a key milestone in our ongoing collaboration with a top 10 passenger OEM and is a major validation of the capabilities of our new Atlas Ultra 4D LiDAR sensor with its slim design making it ideal for seamless vehicle integration. This further reinforces Aeva’s position as the leading supplier of next-generation sensing solutions for automated driving. It also represents another major automotive manufacturer moving to FMCW technology to expand its operational design domain and enable highway-speed Level 3 automation. We believe these trends are just beginning and will ultimately benefit the automotive industry and Aeva as the emerging leader in the market.”

Aeva’s FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology, a key differentiator, allows for direct velocity measurement, critical for Level 3 automation. More details are expected in Aeva’s quarterly report today. With over 300 words, this milestone highlights Aeva’s rising prominence in next-gen automotive sensing.
