Frankfurt, Germany, November 03, 2026 — Technology company AUMOVIO has received major series-production awards worth more than €500 million for its latest generation of satellite cameras from Asian vehicle manufacturers in the third quarter of the year. This includes an award from a leading Chinese vehicle manufacturer and an award from one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in Asia, both with a start of production already planned for the fourth quarter of 2027. The awarded business in China marks the local debut of AUMOVIO's third generation satellite camera solution for demanding environments and more complex scenarios such as automated driving.

At the Chinese vehicle manufacturer, the awarded modular camera platform supports assisted and automated driving applications in extreme conditions, using software image enhancement to improve image quality in low-light conditions, to enable driver-assistance functions to operate at night.

AUMOVIO’s satellite cameras combine long-term optical stability and compatibility with major automated driving stacks. Their robust optical design ensures consistently high image quality throughout the vehicle’s lifetime, even under changing temperatures and aging effects. Flexible interfaces enable seamless integration into different automated driving architectures.

As automated driving functions expand into more markets, day-to-day operating challenges are becoming increasingly important. The satellite cameras work reliably in demanding weather and light conditions, including temperatures as low as −40 degrees Celsius, snow, ice and low light. The cameras offer image sensors from 1.3 up to 8 megapixel and multiple fields of views, support high dynamic range (HDR), and can be configured with defrosting/defogging and image-enhancement to meet the automated driving needs of different vehicle models. Backed by 20 years of automotive grade camera design, production experience and proven processes, the solution's full-lifecycle reliability is assured.

“Reducing overall vehicle and advanced driver assistance systems costs is key to ensuring that assisted and automated driving systems scale globally, at the same time, cameras must remain reliable in any situation,” said Alain Kemadjou, Head of Segment Camera at AUMOVIO. “These series-production awards from leading Asian automakers are a recognition of our strategy and relentless commitment to safety.”
