ZD's intelligent driving simulation testing solution offers advantages of stability, reliability, diversity of choice, rapid deployment, rich scenarios, and high case coverage. It provides comprehensive services from perception, control, SIL, HIL to real-vehicle testing, supporting customers' intelligent driving products from inception to maturity and from commercialization to scale.

The trend toward automotive electrification and intelligence has necessitated further evolution of vehicle electronics and electrical architecture, gradually moving from distributed to domain-centralized and centralized architectures, laying the foundation for software-defined vehicles. The most mainstream technologies of today's automotive revolution, such as intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits, along with upgrades in hardware, software, and communication architectures, have become the deepest and most direct sensory experiences for consumers. They have become highly competitive areas among major OEMs, raising the bar for full vehicle integration testing and validation services.

Through years of accumulation and development, ZD has built a complete process team that includes product management, product development, product verification, and test feedback, providing customers with comprehensive quality control and execution strategies, including an automated testing toolchain for software and hardware products. The scope of testing includes full field testing, including software integration, hardware integration, and system integration, covering functional testing, interaction testing, performance testing, and network testing in all scenarios. This helps customers build an efficient testing platform, improving testing efficiency by more than 30%, and with professional system verification and quality control, helps brands reduce costs and increase efficiency in vehicle R&D, contributing to the high-quality development of the entire industry.

As users' lifestyles and automotive experience requirements become more intense, the "digital transformation" and continuous technological iterations face significant changes in the operation, sales and after-sales of the automotive industry. Ensuring the effectiveness and flexibility of sales and after-sales channels and protecting the security of user data and brand digital assets are common challenges for all automakers.

With a deep understanding of the automotive industry's brand lifecycle management from design to user operation, and years of experience in digital product lifecycle management and product enhancement management, ZD provides digital product operation services to many customers. These include digital product services and e-commerce, app operation and maintenance, journey POI, channel management, and data asset analysis. ZD also helps clients address challenges in data architecture, data quality checks, data visualization, data analysis, and data security.

With digital at its core, ZD deploys intelligent systems and big data analytics to deliver personalized digital products and services. This helps automakers to better meet consumer needs, achieve real-time interaction with users, and provide personalized lead generation, business opportunity management, and after-sales service, improving customer acquisition efficiency, fulfillment efficiency, ROI, and overall efficiency across the value chain.

ZD Automotive Technology started its journey in 2012 in Ingolstadt, Germany, understanding the legal regulations of European business operations. With deep ecological resources and integrated service experience, it has provided joint venture brands and new Chinese automotive forces with comprehensive overseas road-testing services.
