Great Wall Motor’s main brand Haval is set to adopt assisted driving solutions from Chinese smart driving technology company Momenta, marking a new business expansion for the autonomous driving supplier, local media reported.
Momenta will provide its smart driving system for two upcoming models from Great Wall Motor, including the Haval Raptor, according to a report by local outlet Leiphone. The models equipped with Momenta’s technology are expected to be launched early next year, the report said.
The vehicles will be positioned at the L2+ level of assisted driving capability, supporting highway navigation on autopilot (NOA) and automated parking functions, but will not initially offer urban NOA features, Leiphone cited sources as saying. The system will use Momenta’s latest one-stage end-to-end solution, built on its R6 Flywheel large language model, which has also been deployed in Buick’s Electra L7 launched in China.
The smart driving solution will be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8620 chip, delivering effective computing power of 156 TOPS, the report said. To support the partnership, Momenta has established a dedicated assisted driving demonstration and testing team in Baoding, Hebei, where GWM is headquartered, with Momenta’s chief executive Cao Xudong making frequent visits to the site.
Separately, a source told CnEVPost that DeepRoute will supply assisted driving solutions for the top-trim version of the Haval Raptor, indicating that GWM may continue to work with multiple technology partners across different variants.
Momenta currently supplies assisted driving systems to several international automakers, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Toyota, while also developing L4-capable robotaxi technology.
GWM already counts DeepRoute among its advanced driving assistance system suppliers. DeepRoute raised $100 million in a Series C1 funding round led by GWM in November 2024 and became the automaker’s smart driving solution provider earlier that year. In August 2024, GWM launched the Wey Lanshan Smart Driving Edition equipped with DeepRoute’s city NOA system that does not rely on high-definition maps. An updated version of the model was launched on Dec. 22, becoming the first mass-produced vehicle to feature DeepRoute’s vision-language-action model, according to the company.
