Hesai is world's first lidar company to deliver 100K units monthly

SAN FRANCISCO: China's Hesai Technology has delivered more than 100,000 lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) units during December, becoming the world's first lidar company to reach this milestone.

Hesai also announced a record number of lidar deliveries for the robotics market, surpassing 20,000 lidar units in December.

In 2025, Hesai's planned annual capacity exceeds two million units, supported by the company's mass production capabilities.

In the ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems) market, Hesai has earned more than 100 design wins across 21 automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), including recent new design wins for more than 10 series production vehicle models from three of China's top five automakers.

The three automakers include an industry giant with millions of annual deliveries, a leading automaker with top sales in both China and overseas markets, and a well-known automaker with multiple best-selling brands and a global footprint.

All three design wins cover a wide range of vehicle brands and models. Many of these models, featuring Hesai's ATX, an ultra-compact high-performance lidar, are expected to launch in 2025.

In the robotics market, Hesai has established a wide customer base across more than 40 countries in areas such as delivery robots, autonomous lawn mowers, and cleaning robots.

The Shanghai-based company will launch its newest product, a mini high-performance 3D lidar, and announce new partnerships in the robotics market at CES Las Vegas next month.

Hesai also has an operational footprint in Europe, the United States and Asia, and more than 1,700 patents deployed.
