The Intelligent Driving 9.0 version powered by LI AUTO-W (02015.HK)'s self-developed Mahe M100 chip achieved a major upgrade compared with version 8.0, Xie Yan, Chief Technology Officer of LI AUTO-W (02015.HK), said. Version 9.0 is the first intelligent driving system fully running on the Group's in-house chip. It is ranked among the first tier in the highly competitive industry, though this marks only the beginning, the CTO said. The Group aims in 2H26 to benchmark its performance against Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) FSD Beta version 14.

On international expansion, President Ma Donghui said LI AUTO-W's globalisation strategy is progressing steadily. In overseas markets, the Group is adopting a phased expansion approach, flexibly choosing between establishing subsidiaries to develop dealer networks or appointing exclusive general distributors based on local market size and competitive landscape. It aims to leverage leading local partners to rapidly build an integrated service system covering sales, delivery and after-sales support.

Ma added that LI AUTO-W's brand and products continue to gain recognition in overseas markets. In the Middle East and Central Asia markets, the L-series extended-range models will serve as the main offerings, with official entry into these markets in 3Q26. In 2H26, the Group will also launch the all-electric I6 model in the European market. For right-hand-drive markets, a right-hand-drive version of the Mega will be introduced by the end of this year in core Asia-Pacific regions such as Hong Kong and Singapore.
