Hesai Group has secured a new design win from a major European carmaker, adding an order of over one million lidar units covering more than ten vehicle models across joint venture brands in China.

Hesai Group announced in a press release that it has secured a new design win from a leading European automaker. The order exceeds one million lidar units and spans more than ten vehicle models across the automaker's joint venture brands in China.

The deal follows Hesai's recently announced Level 3 program with Mercedes-Benz and strengthens its position in the advanced driver assistance systems market.

It features proprietary addressable photon isolation technology that supports early hazard detection and improved active safety.

Hesai stated that the ATX has been in mass production since 2025 and has become the best selling long range lidar in the ADAS segment, with more than one million units delivered and an order backlog exceeding six million units. The company has now secured design wins from 40 automakers covering over 160 vehicle models.

According to a report by Yole Group cited in the announcement, Hesai held a 43 percent share of the global long range ADAS lidar market in 2025.
