GEELY-BACKED ECARX TO SUPPLY ROBOTAXIS TO US STARTUP

The agreement marks Ecarx's entry into the US autonomous vehicle market through a partnership with the Detroit-based robotaxi operator. May Mobility currently operates driverless shuttle services in multiple US cities and has been expanding its fleet and service areas. Ecarx, which specializes in automotive software and intelligent cockpit technologies, will leverage its backing from Geely—one of China's largest automakers—to fulfill the supply agreement. The $750 million valuation underscores the growing demand for autonomous vehicle platforms in North America. The partnership aligns with broader trends of Chinese automotive technology companies seeking to establish footholds in Western markets. May Mobility's existing operational experience in US cities provides Ecarx with a concrete pathway to deploy its robotaxi solutions at scale.
