Yaxon Zhilian has unveiled the industry’s first full‑domain map solution, addressing automakers’ challenges in achieving overseas compliance while reducing costs.

Recently, Yaxon Zhilian officially launched its independently developed all‑domain map solution. As the industry’s first comprehensive automotive connectivity mapping solution that integrates in‑vehicle navigation, Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) maps, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) map services, this solution achieves, for the first time, deep integration of three core functionalities, helping automakers overcome compliance challenges and reduce costs when expanding into international markets.

Automotive Export: Compliance Upgrades and Cost Pressures Come to the Forefront

China has become a global powerhouse in both automobile manufacturing and consumption. In 2024, the country’s vehicle production and sales each exceeded 31 million units, with exports reaching 5.859 million vehicles—a year-on-year increase of 19.3%, underscoring a continued robust momentum in overseas markets.

As the trend toward vehicle intelligence accelerates, ADAS—key technology for enhancing both vehicle safety and intelligence—is rapidly gaining traction in the wave of automotive smartification, with its application scenarios continuing to expand. In 2024, the global ADAS market reached US$57.94 billion; according to Statista, this market is projected to surpass US$100 billion by 2028 and reach US$125.4 billion by 2029.

Meanwhile, with the entry into force of the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR), ISA, ADAS, and intelligent connected technologies have become standard equipment on export‑bound vehicles.

Technological Accumulation: Focusing on Niche Markets for In-Depth Breakthroughs

“Under the traditional decentralized procurement model, automakers commonly face challenges such as low coordination efficiency among multiple suppliers, inconsistent data standards, and persistently high costs,” said a product manager at Yaxon Zhilian. As a leading domestic provider of connected‑car solutions, Yaxon Zhilian has, in recent years, served numerous automakers expanding into international markets, amassing extensive experience in the application of cutting‑edge technologies in ISA mapping and ADAS mapping services.

In 2023, Yaxon Zhilian partnered with HERE, a global leader in digital mapping and location data platforms, to independently develop map data compilation and an ISA map engine. This collaboration successfully helped automotive exporters obtain EU ISA system certification, overcoming critical compliance hurdles. In 2024, the two parties further deepened their cooperation on ADAS map data, with Yaxon Zhilian successfully developing an EHP map engine based on the ADASIS V2 protocol. This solution has been deployed in leading automakers’ Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control (PACC) systems, achieving an 8%–12% reduction in energy consumption.

Currently, the outcomes of the collaboration have been successfully deployed across numerous leading domestic OEMs of buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles, serving markets in the European Union, South Africa, Australia, Mexico, and Latin America.

Comprehensive Empowerment: Coordinated Implementation of Compliance and Cost Reduction

How to help OEMs overcome the challenges of overseas compliance while further reducing costs and delivering value that exceeds customer expectations is the ongoing goal of Yaxon Zhilian’s R&D and innovation efforts.

Compared with traditional single‑function map products, Yaxon Zhilian has leveraged the HERE Navigation SDK and a multi‑source data fusion engine to develop a comprehensive, omni‑domain mapping solution. This solution achieves seamless integration across three core capabilities: enhanced intelligent navigation, ISA compliance support, and foundational ADAS functionality. By adopting an integrated technical architecture, it addresses the hardware redundancy and escalating costs associated with deploying multiple standalone map systems in conventional approaches, while fully meeting the stringent data security and regulatory requirements of intelligent connected vehicles.

“By breaking down data silos and unifying spatiotemporal reference frames, this solution can help automakers shorten their map‑system development cycle by approximately 25% while reserving standardized interfaces for future feature upgrades,” emphasized the product lead at Yaxon Zhilian. “Moreover, this solution not only fills a critical technological gap in the industry’s integration of multi‑scenario map services but also accelerates the transformation of intelligent service models in the automotive sector.”

Going forward, Yaxon Zhilian will continue to deepen its technological innovation, empowering whole-vehicle manufacturers in sectors such as commercial vehicles, passenger cars, construction machinery, and electric bicycles with intelligent, connected, and safety‑compliant solutions, and striving to become a world‑leading provider of connected‑car solutions.
