Foton’s 2026 Hanover showcase, Volcano Engine’s automotive AI strategy, and Melexis’ new high-voltage current sensors together highlight how the Chinese EV industry is expanding on three fronts: global commercialization, AI-driven productivity, and core electrification technology. Key takeaways include Foton’s 13 millionth vehicle delivery in Europe, the Kavon BEACON’s 600 km-plus EV range and 1.44 MW charging readiness, and Melexis’ ASIL B-compliant sensors for up to 100 ARMS in EV powertrains and charging systems.
