On June 10, AAC Technologies and Hebei Chuguang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. held a strategic cooperation and holding acquisition signing ceremony at the headquarters of Chuguang. This acquisition enables both companies to combine their technological expertise and industrial resources, accelerating the evolution of intelligent vehicle systems and pioneering in-vehicle sensing technologies.
In-vehicle acoustics represents an integrated system where microphones serve as critical sensory gateways—alongside speakers, amplifiers, and algorithms—to deliver premium user experiences. As voice assistants, noise cancellation, and exterior interaction become standard features, microphone performance (SNR, frequency response, and sensitivity) now fundamentally impacts both driving safety and human-vehicle interface quality, forming the foundation for AI experiences.
AAC Technologies has completed the holding acquisition of Chuguang, aligning with its strategy of technological synergy and ecosystem development. This acquisition enables AAC Technologies to significantly enhance its core competencies in acoustic system solutions. In consumer electronics, it will integrate Chuguang’s electronic component module technology to advance precision manufacturing and system integration capabilities. For the automotive field, AAC Technologies will establish a comprehensive technology chain spanning sound perception, signal processing, and acoustic playback, creating an industry-leading “Perception-Processing-Output” closed-loop ecosystem to deliver premium intelligent cockpit experiences. Leveraging its global resource network, AAC Technologies will accelerate the commercialization of Chuguang’s technologies and support its expansion into international markets.
Moving forward, AAC Technologies and Chuguang will collaborate in alignment with smart vehicle industry trends. The partnership will focus on unlocking the potential of integrated acoustic technologies, refining in-vehicle perception solutions, and jointly establishing next-generation sound perception standards for intelligent cockpits. As the multidimensional synergies in R&D, manufacturing, and marketing continue to unfold, this partnership will deliver cutting-edge, reliable in-vehicle acoustic products and services to global automakers and consumers. Together, the two companies are empowering the intelligent automotive industry with safer, more efficient, and comfortable experiences that redefine intelligent transportation.
