LONDON, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ECARX Limited ("ECARX"), a leading global automotive intelligence business, and Arm today announced that they have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly explore and develop nextâgeneration high performance AI computing platforms for mobility, and broader crossâindustry applications.

Under the MoU, ECARX and Arm will advance highâlevel joint coâengineering activities spanning systemâlevel architecture definition, performance optimisation, software enablement, functional safety, toolchain and cybersecurity validation, as well as ecosystem buildâout. The partners will also explore tailored configurations optimised for deployment across China and global markets, addressing useâcases within mobility alongside broader crossâindustry physicalâAI applications.

The combined effort will unlock meaningful advances in performance, power efficiency, and scalable deployment for global customers. Building on their longâstanding collaborative relationship, Arm will support ECARX to bringâtoâmarket highlyâoptimised compute solutions purposeâbuilt to handle demanding physical AI workloads as a leading partner in mobility and diverse crossâindustry use cases.

The partnership builds on a history of collaboration, including through SiEngine, a leading automotive semiconductor company that has delivered advanced 7nm SE1000 platform automotiveâgrade SoCs to global OEMs, with millions of units produced and deployed since mass production began in March 2023. Development of the next generation 5nm SE2000 SoC platform is also underway.

Ziyu Shen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, ECARX said: "Our longâstanding partnership with Arm draws on our trackârecord of successful joint delivery via SiEngine for global automotive customers. Against the industry shift toward AIâdefined vehicles, this new collaboration accelerates our work to bring forward globally ready high performance physicalâAI computing platforms. Bringing together Arm's industryâleading compute architectures and ECARX's fullâstack automotive capabilities, we will build scalable high performance compute for next generation intelligent vehicles, and also explore opportunities for crossâindustry deployment. Our teams will now advance joint technical roadmap definition and coâengineering to translate this shared vision into practical solutions for global markets."

Drew Henry, Executive Vice President, Physical AI, Arm, said: "Physical AI is one of the most complex systems engineering challenges our industry has taken on, requiring compute, software and safety to work together from the ground up. By combining Arm's compute platform with ECARX's proven automotive expertise, we see an opportunity to explore new approaches to high-performance, efficient computing across AI-defined vehicles and other autonomous systems."
