A Chinese Robot Vacuum Company Spun Off Two New EV Brands, Showing the Diversification of Country's Electronics Giants.
Chinese electronics giants are increasingly applying their manufacturing prowess to new industries at this year's CES show in Las Vegas. While some companies have focused on AI software and robotics, others have taken a more diverse approach by launching electric vehicle brands that have connections to other companies.
Dreame, the parent company of robot vacuum brands such as Roborock and Eufy, has spun off two new EV brands: Nebula Next and Kosmera.
These two new brands are focused on producing luxury sports cars and will be manufactured by Dreame itself. The move marks the latest example of Chinese electronics companies diversifying their operations to expand into new markets.
Nebula Next's flagship model is a sleek, futuristic car with advanced features such as a built-in AI assistant and automatic driverless capabilities. Kosmera, on the other hand, has also unveiled a luxury sports car prototype with a focus on innovative design and performance.
Lei Xing, an independent car market analyst who attended CES, believes that Chinese electronics companies have an advantage in entering new industries due to their existing supply chain expertise and engineering talent. However, only a few of these newcomers will ultimately succeed, and some may end up like Apple's failed long-running car project.
Another trend at CES is the growth of autonomous delivery vehicles, with Neolix leading the way in terms of both hardware and software development. The company claims to be the market leader for robovans, with a presence in China and plans to expand into new markets such as the US.
Kling, an AI video division of Kuaishou, is also making waves by using generative AI technologies to produce high-quality mobile video ads and TV commercials. The company aims to evolve its tools into full-fledged platforms for social media sharing, building on the success of short-video platforms like TikTok.
Lastly, PixVerse, a Singapore-based company with Chinese founders and investors, is also focused on developing AI-powered video generation capabilities for social media platforms. The company's goal is to create a next-generation platform that allows users to interactively generate new content using AI.
These diverse innovations demonstrate the increasing scope of China's electronics giants as they explore new opportunities in emerging industries such as electric vehicles and autonomous delivery services, while leveraging cutting-edge technologies like generative AI and robotics.
