  • We aim to continue to lead the growing adoption of MTW. in automotive and industrial with additional wins in the coming months.

    我們的目標是繼續引領 MTW 的日益普及。在汽車和工業領域,我們將在未來幾個月內取得更多成果。

  • And as we execute towards our first SOP, I'd like to finish by thanking really the tremendous team at Aeva.

    當我們執行第一個 SOP 時,我想最後感謝 Aeva 的優秀團隊。

  • I am excited for what we have in store for 2024 and anticipate another pivotal year for Aeva and hopefully the industry.

    我對 2024 年的計劃感到興奮,並預計 Aeva 乃至整個行業將迎來另一個關鍵的一年。

  • Colin Rusch - Analyst

    Colin Rusch - Analyst

  • Thanks so much, guys.

    非常感謝,夥計們。

  • As you look at the kind of tone of these customer conversations, which seems like they've taken a fundamental shift with the Daimler agreement and you look at the comp, Pascal, you trying to scale up as a sole source or a real clear leader in FMCW.

    當你觀察這些客戶對話的語氣時,他們似乎已經根據戴姆勒協議發生了根本性轉變,你看看公司,帕斯卡,你試圖擴大規模作為唯一來源或真正明確的領導者在調頻連續波中。

  • Can you talk a little bit about the strategy around licensing and enabling multiple suppliers to really allow these customers to adopt the technology and other platforms on that.

    您能否談談有關許可的策略以及使多個供應商真正允許這些客戶採用該技術和其他平台的策略。

  • That's obviously totally on a go-forward basis.

    這顯然完全是在向前推進的基礎上。

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • You're going to have to answer that?

    你必須回答這個問題嗎?

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So first of all, we're really excited with the momentum that we're seeing in automotive, especially with an uptick increasing since our win with Daimler Truck as we started the year strong as I mentioned on the call and majority of the commercial vehicle OEMs are already moving now to SMTW. and the unmet need that for their highly autonomy.

    首先,我們對汽車領域看到的勢頭感到非常興奮,特別是自從我們贏得戴姆勒卡車以來,我們在年初就表現強勁,正如我在電話會議和大多數商用車中提到的那樣OEM 現在已經轉向SMTW。以及未滿足的高度自治需求。

  • That's three of the top four have publicly talked about that.

    前四名中的三位已經公開談論過這一點。

  • That represents over 85% already of the market share, right?

    這已經代表了超過 85% 的市場份額,對嗎?

  • So that's we've been talking about this for some time and now this is starting to actually show up in the market and also our strategy of really aligning with large customers focused on winning additional programs of leaders in the markets especially folks that have the ability to scale to significant volumes we think is starting to pay off.

    因此,我們已經討論這個問題有一段時間了,現在這開始真正出現在市場上,我們的策略是真正與大客戶保持一致,重點是贏得市場領導者的額外計劃,特別是有能力的人我們認為擴大規模已經開始獲得回報。

  • We're also expecting this kind of similar trend to happen in passenger vehicle side right.

    我們也預期這種類似的趨勢也會發生在乘用車右側。

  • So as you mentioned, I put on the call that we are currently engaged in multiple passenger RFQs, including with this new global top-10 passenger OEM.

    正如您所提到的,我在電話中表示,我們目前正在處理多個乘客詢價,其中包括與這家新的全球十大乘客 OEM 的詢價。

  • And we're seeing OEMs increasingly view FMCW. as really a key enabler to future proof the plans, especially folks that have had some experience with LiDAR initially bringing that forward now really going at how they tackle the next phase at mass scale to achieve that Highway Autonomy at highway speeds.

    我們看到 OEM 越來越重視 FMCW。作為未來證明計劃的真正關鍵推動者,特別是那些在雷射雷達方面有過一些經驗的人,最初提出了這一點,現在真正在研究如何大規模應對下一階段,以實現高速公路的高速公路自治。

  • So we're in the current market, we're seeing an increase and that interest, we are fully intended to capitalize on that.

    因此,在當前的市場中,我們看到了成長和興趣,我們完全打算利用這一點。

  • And we have the resources we have the team, we have the financial backing and strength of the financial balance sheet to support that.

    我們擁有團隊資源、財務支援和財務資產負債表的實力來支持這一點。

  • And as I mentioned, we're expecting a number of these award decisions already happened soon, right?

    正如我所提到的,我們預計許多獎項決定很快就會做出,對吧?

  • So I think this Daimler Truck, Lynn, has really allowed us to come onto the field with some of being a Tier one supplier.

    所以我認為這輛戴姆勒卡車,Lynn,確實讓​​我們能夠以一些一級供應商的身份進入這個領域。

  • And these decisions happening in the next six to nine months is kind of what we start I expected to see.

    這些在未來六到九個月內發生的決定正是我們開始時我期望看到的。

  • So but generally, the focus for us this year.

    所以總的來說,這是我們今年的重點。

  • As I mentioned on the call, we have already announced and demonstrated Atlas at CES.

    正如我在電話會議中提到的,我們已經在 CES 上宣布並展示了 Atlas。

  • This is our final architecture with final production, and it has our our final chip are a products with the core vision, which is the Fortune by our chip module.

    這是我們最終量產的最終架構,它有我們最終的晶片,是一個有核心願景的產品,這就是我們晶片模組的財富。

  • It has the world's first FMC by SMCW. light.

    它擁有世界上第一個SMCW FMC。光。

  • Our SOC, right?

    我們的SOC,對吧?

  • So that is what's allowing us to achieve to mass scale and having the right and the power side of that envelope.

    這就是我們能夠實現大規模生產並擁有該包絡的右側和功率側的原因。

  • So we're making progress across fronts and obviously, as we progress throughout the year and working towards the manufacturing line.

    因此,隨著我們全年的進步並朝著生產線的方向努力,我們正在各個方面取得進展。

  • Again, all that very blocked will also share more as.

    再說一次,所有那些非常受阻的人也將分享更多。

  • Colin Rusch - Analyst

    Colin Rusch - Analyst

  • Thanks so much.

    非常感謝。

  • And then just a follow-up.

    然後只是後續行動。

  • Can you talk about how you're de-risking the cost structure and manufacturing as you move through this process and this year with smaller volumes, but just making sure that you get into higher volume production.

    您能否談談在整個過程中以及今年的小批量生產過程中,您如何降低成本結構和製造風險,但只是確保進入更高批量的生產。

  • There is a period of time where you end up with a lesser amount of scrap on and some sort of heavy lifting on the costs.

    在一段時間內,您最終會發現廢品數量較少,而成本卻增加。

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Yes, sure.

    是的,當然。

  • I'd be happy to.

    我很樂意。

  • So first of all, what you know, we started with ARIES to a couple of years ago, and we have shipped significant already volumes of those products with ARIES to be already used a bomb for the first time, we have reduced it by over 30% already in terms of the bond costs, add that that's when we have taken that last remaining step in terms of significant cost reductions that really sets us up on the right architecture to get us to where we need to go from a target sample for our SOPs.

    首先,你知道,我們幾年前就開始使用 ARIES,我們已經透過 ARIES 運送了大量已經首次使用炸彈的產品,我們已經將其減少了 30 多個% 已經就債券成本而言,補充說,那時我們已經採取了顯著降低成本的最後一步,這確實為我們建立了正確的架構,使我們能夠從目標樣本到達我們需要去的地方標準作業程序。

  • And as I mentioned, I see as we already demonstrate Atlas, which define architecture with our final chip solutions.

    正如我所提到的,我看到我們已經演示了 Atlas,它用我們最終的晶片解決方案定義了架構。

  • And this is the result of multiple years of efforts, significant amounts of investments and multiple iterations of that of the silicon chip, both on the optical side, the core vision as well as now the SOC, right?

    這是矽晶片多年努力、大量投資和多次迭代的結果,無論是光學方面、核心願景還是現在的SOC,對嗎?

  • So these are things that you can shortcut.

    所以這些都是你可以走捷徑的事情。

  • It's taken us because now there's seven plus years now to get here.

    我們花了七年多的時間才到這裡。

  • So from here on the other system design is fixed.

    那麼從這裡開始其他的系統設計就確定了。

  • And we have now this the next 12 to 18 months or so, where we are focused on the qualification of the Atlas product, getting that ready for the first SOPs.

    現在我們在接下來的 12 到 18 個月左右的時間裡,我們將專注於 Atlas 產品的資格認證,為第一個 SOP 做好準備。

  • And as I mentioned on the call, we start in automotive next year with SOP and then from there with Daimler Truck in '26 and reaching scale by '27.

    正如我在電話會議中提到的,我們明年將從 SOP 開始涉足汽車領域,然後在 26 年開始涉足戴姆勒卡車,到 27 年達到規模。

  • So really the work here that we have in front of us is beyond the qualification I mentioned.

    因此,我們面前的工作確實超出了我所提到的資格。

  • It's also bringing up the manufacturing line, getting that design ready for automated assembly line for automotive, qualified mass production.

    它還建立了生產線,讓設計為汽車自動化裝配線、合格的大規模生產做好準備。

  • And we have the support of our strong team that's been doing this already for the past couple of years.

    我們得到了強大團隊的支持,他們在過去幾年中一直在這樣做。

  • So we feel pretty good about this.

    所以我們對此感覺很好。

  • We have and a clear plan that we are executing on on the commentary.

    我們有一個明確的計劃,正在執行評論。

  • Thanks, guys, for taking my question here.

    謝謝你們在這裡提出我的問題。

  • Maybe I'll ask a much simpler one, just kind of a tactical one here.

    也許我會問一個更簡單的問題,只是一個戰術問題。

  • Looking at 2024, you gave us a sense of what to think about for OpEx here but I'd love to get your sense of thinking about sales here.

    展望 2024 年,您讓我們了解了此處對營運支出的看法,但我很想了解您對此處銷售的看法。

  • It seems like we're not going to see some leaps and bounds here with no kind of probably starting late this year doesn't sound like much of anything from a mobility.

    看來我們不會在這裡看到一些飛躍,從今年晚些時候開始,聽起來不像是移動性的任何東西。

  • We've consensus estimates look at look like around $15 million for the year compared to $4 million last year.

    我們一致估計今年的收入約為 1500 萬美元,而去年為 400 萬美元。

  • I wonder if you could just give us a sense of what you're thinking.

    我想知道您能否讓我們了解您的想法。

  • And just in broad brush strokes here about what 2024 sales look like.

    這裡只是粗略地介紹一下 2024 年的銷售情況。

  • Saurabh Sinha - CFO

    Saurabh Sinha - CFO

  • I've said this is Saurabh.

    我說過這是Saurabh。

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So on the revenue front, we are seeing strong momentum in both industrial and automotive.

    因此,在收入方面,我們看到工業和汽車領域的強勁勢頭。

  • We are seeing increasing number of shipments in '24, and we expect full year revenue in '24 to grow by at least 100%.

    我們看到 24 年的出貨量不斷增加,我們預計 24 年全年營收將成長至少 100%。

  • On top of that, we are seeing increasing number of opportunities to expand from there.

    最重要的是,我們看到越來越多的擴展機會。

  • That being said, our focus continues to be on executing on large production opportunities in automotive and other applications.

    話雖如此,我們的重點仍然是執行汽車和其他應用領域的大型生產機會。

  • As we discussed earlier on the call, we are in multiple RFQs, including the top 10 passenger car OEM and and we will continue to work towards that.

    正如我們之前在電話會議中討論的那樣,我們收到了多個詢價,其中包括前 10 名的乘用車 OEM,我們將繼續為此努力。

  • Richard Shannon - Analyst

    Richard Shannon - Analyst

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And that detail my follow-on question here is just hitting on and I kind of the general industrial opportunity here, you said you're going to be ramping up or starting to ramp late this year.

    我的後續問題只是碰巧提到了這個細節,我在這裡談到了一般的工業機會,你說你將在今年晚些時候增加或開始增加。

  • And I just want to get a general sense of how we see that ramp with Eikon over time here.

    我只是想大致了解一下隨著時間的推移,我們如何看待 Eikon 的斜坡。

  • I assume this is going to take many years to get to a perceived kind of peak level here.

    我認為這需要很多年才能達到人們認為的峰值水平。

  • I have no idea what you're thinking about the way you can characterize kind of that ramp and eventual peak there would be very helpful.

    我不知道你在想什麼,你可以描述那種斜坡和最終峰值的方式,這將非常有幫助。

  • Thank you.

    謝謝。

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • Yes, happy to do zero.

    是的,很高興做到零。

  • So Eikon, as you have mentioned in the past is a multiyear program on the production side through 2028.

    因此,正如您過去所提到的,Eikon 是一個到 2028 年為止的多年生產計劃。

  • And the agreement includes minimum volume commitments and obviously a key differentiation with the industrial side.

    該協議包括最低產量承諾,顯然是與工業方面的關鍵區別。

  • It converts automotive is that it has strong, it speeds that are significantly higher here as But order of magnitude higher than a typical auto program.

    它改變汽車的原因是它具有強大的速度,但比典型的汽車程式高出一個數量級。

  • Right.

    正確的。

  • So on the kind of the volume side, some knock-on has a significant share in, I think the double digits of the metrology market.

    因此,就數量而言,一些連鎖反應在計量市場中佔據了兩位數的重要份額。

  • So that's something that they have publicly talked about.

    這就是他們公開談論的事情。

  • There is in the metrology market volumes obviously is not in the same scale as mass production, automotive, but it's in the multiple thousands of units.

    計量市場的銷售量顯然與汽車大規模生產的規模不同,但也有數千台。

  • So that combined with a speed, this is a considerable opportunity for us that we see are scaling up.

    因此,結合速度,這對我們來說是一個巨大的機會,我們看到我們正在擴大規模。

  • And just to be clear, obviously, we expect a revenue ramp up through '25 and then expand from there.

    需要明確的是,我們預計收入將在 25 年之前增加,然後再擴大。

  • I think already by I would say '25 or a year to 18 months after we expect to reach peak periods.

    我想我會說『25 或一年到 18 個月後我們預計會達到高峰期。

  • But to add to that, this is just the first program that we're doing the night on, right, which is focused on metrology for auto applications and auto manufacturing, aerospace, others.

    但補充一點,這只是我們今晚要做的第一個項目,對吧,它的重點是汽車應用和汽車製造、航空航太等領域的計量。

  • But also we see enough opportunities in industrial that we are working on.

    但我們也看到了我們正在努力的工業領域的足夠機會。

  • That really has the potential to grow this industrial business significantly.

    這確實有潛力顯著發展這項工業業務。

  • So some of it beyond just simple assembly for automated automated assembly, also precision assembly.

    所以有些不只是簡單的自動化裝配,還有自動化裝配,還有精密裝配。

  • There are other applications as we able to talk more about we will share which we see as our opportunity to expand.

    我們還可以更多地討論其他應用程序,我們將分享這些應用程序,我們認為這是我們擴展的機會。

    VM 乘客機會如此,包括新的全球前 10 名。

  • I'm just curious, you know, how far along those guys are if you could contrast that with maybe Daimler, I think you talked about cal '23 working on the software integration through the year.

    我只是很好奇,你知道,如果你可以將這些人與戴姆勒進行對比,我想你談到了 cal '23 全年致力於軟體整合。

  • If that's happening already with the guys in the pipeline, if it's already happened and how much different that effort is when you go from trucking across to passenger?

    如果管道中的人員已經發生了這種情況,如果已經發生了,那麼當你從卡車運輸轉向客運時,這種努力有多大不同?

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Thanks for the question, Suji.

    謝謝你的提問,蘇吉。

  • So first of all, obviously, a lot of the work that we have done on the on the core platform side that led us to the win with Daimler Truck is what we are leveraging for additional opportunities and programs that we are engaged with.

    首先,顯然,我們在核心平台方面所做的大量工作使我們贏得了戴姆勒卡車的勝利,而我們正在利用這些工作來獲得我們正在參與的更多機會和計劃。

  • And that's also part of the reason why we see a faster progress on our programs.

    這也是我們的專案取得更快進展的部分原因。

  • We're seeing increased momentum in the space now we see a number of passenger programs that are looking to future-proof their stack, which means how they get the next level of functionality on the highway with Highway Autonomy speeds working and you bet that we are and we are leveraging all that all the effort that we have done already that led us to winning number truck to come to also make progress on those programs.

    我們看到該領域的發展勢頭有所增強,現在我們看到許多乘客計劃正在尋求讓其堆疊面向未來,這意味著他們如何透過高速公路自主速度發揮作用,在高速公路上獲得更高水平的功能,你敢打賭,我們我們正在利用我們已經做出的所有努力,使我們贏得了卡車數量,從而在這些項目上取得進展。

  • So and we have been engaged with this OEM for some time already, and we are going through the RFQ RFQ process.

    因此,我們已經與這家 OEM 合作了一段時間,並且我們正在經歷 RFQ 詢價流程。

  • And this is a significant OEM, one of the largest and best in the world and with global scale.

    這是一家重要的原始設備製造商,也是世界上最大、最好的、具有全球規模的原始設備製造商之一。

  • And we see this opportunity, something that is considerable quite significant, a decent size similar to Daimler Truck is now more with production timing that is around the same timeframe.

    我們看到了這個機會,這是相當重要的,類似於戴姆勒卡車的體面尺寸現在更多的是與大約相同時間範圍的生產時間。

  • So I think a pretty exciting opportunity for us.

    所以我認為這對我們來說是一個非常令人興奮的機會。

  • And obviously, we've launched a number of activities, quite intensity that's increasing over time.

    顯然,我們已經開展了許多活動,而且活動的強度隨著時間的推移而不斷增加。

  • So on as we as we go through this process and we can share more with us and we'll do so.

    因此,當我們經歷這個過程時,我們可以與我們分享更多,我們會這樣做。

  • But we're pretty excited about it.

    但我們對此感到非常興奮。

  • It's not the only passenger programs are working on.

    這並不是唯一正在進行的客運項目。

  • We are engaged on multiple RFQs.

    我們正在處理多個詢價。

  • And to be clear, the feedback that we're getting from the OEMs is that this is no longer a matter of if there will be transition to SMCW. to enable next-generation technologies.

    需要明確的是,我們從 OEM 獲得的回饋是,這不再是是否過渡到 SMCW 的問題。以實現下一代技術。

  • But actually, as a matter of when and this is really exciting for us.

    但實際上,這只是時間問題,這對我們來說真的很令人興奮。

  • And I think with some of the time lines of OEMs shifting also and towards a timing that actually aligns further and better with our time line, the '26 SOP And further, we see this as quite positive for us.

    我認為,隨著一些原始設備製造商的時間線也發生了變化,並且朝著與我們的時間線“26 SOP”進一步更好地一致的時間線發展,而且,我們認為這對我們來說非常積極。

  • And so folks are really looking to make sure that and they have that right next-gen technology as they scale to mass volumes for the Highway Autonomy application.

    因此,人們確實希望確保這一點,並且他們在大規模擴展高速公路自治應用程式時擁有正確的下一代技術。

  • And the opening of the important thing is the feedback that we're seeing is this is not something that's being decided in years from now.

    最重要的是,我們看到的回饋是,這不是幾年後才能決定的事情。

  • It's in the months from now or six , nine months from now, we expect some of these issues start to happen and this appears to be similar timeframes that we see also with Daimler Trucks.

    從現在起的幾個月或六、九個月後,我們預計其中一些問題將開始發生,這似乎與我們在戴姆勒卡車上看到的時間框架相似。

  • So I'm quite encouraged.

    所以我很受鼓舞。

  • Suji DeSilva - Analyst

    Suji DeSilva - Analyst

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And then my follow-up is about the same RF business in the pipeline.

    然後我的後續行動是關於正在醞釀中的相同射頻業務。

  • You talked about it being similar or larger than maybe the time opportunity can you put some color around these?

    您談到它與時間機會相似或更大,您可以在這些周圍添加一些顏色嗎?

  • Are these programs you're targeting if their mainstream or if their premium initially for passenger is at L2 plus L. three L. four where you intercepting them and or the EV hybrid.

    這些計劃是否是您的目標,如果它們是主流,或者它們最初為乘客提供的溢價是 L2 加 L. 3 L. 4,您可以在其中攔截它們和/或電動混合動力車。

  • Any color there in terms of where you're drawing kind of attention from the OEMs would be helpful.

    任何能引起 OEM 廠商注意的顏色都會有所幫助。

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Yes, absolutely.

    是的,一點沒錯。

  • I think in this next phase to focus on the OEMs for mass scale, which is going to be across platforms.

    我認為下一階段將重點放在 OEM 的大規模生產,這將是跨平台的。

  • And that's really becoming more and more table stakes to provide kind of autonomy function and the highway highway almost more or less similar to what I see bill was in.

    這確實變得越來越重要,以提供某種自治功能,而高速公路幾乎或多或少類似於我所看到的比爾所在的地方。

  • So that's that's overseeing this is not something that's like a as super high level five that is going to take many years to come and it's a super spike, a small portion.

    所以這就是監督,這並不是像超高級別的五級那樣需要很多年的時間,而且這是一個超級峰值,一小部分。

  • It is, you know what I'm talking about, a level that is with the Highway Autonomy.

    你知道我在說什麼,它是高速公路自治的一個等級。

  • So that's that's how we how we see it as a feedback that and we're getting it is completely power train agnostic, so both combustion engine and EV.s. So it's as I mentioned, and this is the technology to provide safer highway speed.

    這就是我們如何將其視為反饋,並且我們得到的反饋完全與動力系統無關,因此內燃機和電動車都可以。正如我所提到的,這是提供更安全的高速公路速度的技術。

  • Automation is becoming more increasingly viewed as table stakes for many of the premium OEMs and the scale for the car lines is across and across many car lines and across different platforms.

    自動化越來越被視為許多優質原始設備製造商的賭注,汽車產品線的規模跨越許多汽車產品線和不同的平台。

  • So it's not something that is perceived as just and let's say, as some super high end.

    因此,它並不是被認為是公正的,可以說,是一些超高端的東西。

  • Hey, guys.

    大家好。

  • Thanks for letting me ask a question on.

    謝謝你讓我問一個問題。

  • So I know you have an icon launching later this year and you talked about other opportunities in the industrial market, but it seems like automotive is really about a ramp just based on commentary from you and a few other lidar companies does your focus now I'll switch away from the industrial market and really focus more on auto and putting all resources towards auto or will you still focus on trying to win win some other industrial awards?

    所以我知道您將在今年晚些時候推出一個圖標,並且您談到了工業市場的其他機會,但看起來汽車實際上只是基於您和其他一些激光雷達公司的評論,您現在的重點是我”會從工業市場轉向真正更多地關注汽車並將所有資源投入到汽車上還是仍然會專注於贏得其他一些工業獎項?

  • Or I guess would you need to add resources in order to go after both markets?

    或者我猜你需要增加資源才能同時進軍這兩個市場?

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Yes.

  • Look, I would say, I think one of the key differentiators for Aeva is that we have had a consistent strategy from day one, right?

    我想說,我認為 Aeva 的關鍵區別之一是我們從第一天起就制定了一致的策略,對吧?

  • We are building that perception platform of the future.

    我們正在建立未來的感知平台。

  • That's that that's now coming to materialize.

    這就是現在即將實現的目標。

  • And in the near term, here, we last year we secured multiple production wins in oh three to be specific each year and now we are seeing now on a program starting to take place and ramp up.

    在短期內,我們去年在三年內獲得了許多生產勝利,具體來說,現在我們看到一個計劃開始實施並加速。

  • And I kind of mentioned this year is '25, May '25 some truck into the six and multiple other programs on our automotive that are in a similar timeframe, SOP deciding this year, right?

    我提到今年是 25 年 25 月 25 日,一些卡車進入了我們汽車上的六個項目和多個其他項目,這些項目處於相似的時間範圍內,SOP 今年決定,對吧?

  • So at our are that the beauty of our products, our platform, what we call a potential platform is that it's all the same core technology, same same core component core vision chip module, which have now been finalized with what we have released with Atlas is the same that goes into automotive for Daimler Truck in our Atlas product.

    所以在我們看來,我們的產品、我們的平台、我們所說的潛在平台的美妙之處在於,它們都是相同的核心技術、相同的核心組件、核心視覺晶片模組,現在我們已經與Atlas 一起發布了最終版本與我們的 Atlas 產品中戴姆勒卡車的汽車應用相同。

  • And the same goes into what we do is knock on other than industrial.

    同樣的情況也適用於我們所做的工業以外的領域。

  • So same manufacturing line with different software on our processing chip allows us to achieve the different performance points, which really points to the massive flexibility of our platform.

    因此,相同的生產線在我們的處理晶片上使用不同的軟體使我們能夠實現不同的性能點,這確實表明了我們平台的巨大靈活性。

  • Software Defined software enabled the same partner right.

    軟體定義的軟體啟用了相同的合作夥伴權利。

  • So that's something that I think is a big differentiation for Aeva.

    所以我認為這對 Aeva 來說是一個很大的差異化。

  • This means that we do not need to add in additional resources to be able to support those other programs, the team that we have already sufficiently staffed to be able to support industrial launch that we have already ICON and others, but also to to continue to support our on our automotive OEM programs.

    這意味著我們不需要添加額外的資源來支持其他項目,我們已經配備了足夠的人員來支持我們已經擁有的 ICON 和其他項目的工業啟動,而且還要繼續支持我們的汽車 OEM 計劃。

  • Of course, we continue to building our team for future growth and next-generation platforms, but it because of our our technology innovation and the fact that we have already done all the heavy lifting of the core platform development.

    當然,我們會繼續為未來的成長和下一代平台建立我們的團隊,但這是因為我們的技術創新以及我們已經完成了核心平台開發的所有繁重工作。

  • Now the application of this technology to multiple industries is it's much, much easier compared to, I would say, many others in this space.

    現在,與該領域的許多其他技術相比,這項技術在多個行業的應用要容易得多。

  • And that's because of the fact that it's based in 40 or FMs WI. technology.

    這是因為它基於 40 或 FM WI。技術。

  • And the second thing I would say is no, we obviously are fab-less were have a CM model with light CapEx.

    我要說的第二件事是不,我們顯然沒有晶圓廠,我們有一個資本支出較少的 CM 模式。

  • And it does also benefit as you move from day one that we really thought about that as we go through in terms of production and we work with partners that are qualified that help us from have some of those critical aspects of design rules are design for manufacturing for automotive and making sure also that that is sufficient for industrial applications.

    從第一天開始,我們在生產方面就真正考慮到了這一點,並且我們與合格的合作夥伴合作,幫助我們掌握設計規則的一些關鍵方面,這也確實是有益的,這些關鍵方面是為製造而設計。用於汽車,並確保這足以滿足工業應用。

  • So and you know, on top of all that, I think having going into production with somebody like Daimler Truck, which is the leader, I think either one of the largest, if not the largest OEMs in the commercial vehicle space with such a significant scale and the fact that they have and stringent requirements even more so than passenger we have in terms of reliability, lifetime durability.

    所以你知道,最重要的是,我認為與戴姆勒卡車這樣的領導者一起投入生產,我認為商用車領域最大的原始設備製造商之一(即使不是最大的原始設備製造商)也擁有如此重要的市場份額。規模以及他們在可靠性、終生耐用性方面的嚴格要求甚至比我們對乘客的要求還要嚴格。

  • And as you know, they have that expectation of quality that makes them.

    如您所知,他們對品質的期望造就了他們。

  • Daimler is something that we see it as a perfect kind of these customers in automotive space because it kind of covers a superset of the requirements that allow us to go to two that support additional program wins based on the qualification work based on the certification and all the work that the team has been doing and will continue to do for the full for the first part.

    我們認為戴姆勒是汽車領域這些客戶的完美選擇,因為它涵蓋了一系列要求,使我們能夠根據基於認證和所有內容的資格工作來支持額外的計劃勝利。團隊在第一部分中一直在做並將繼續做的工作。

  • So long winded answer saying is no.

    如此冗長的回答說是否定的。

  • We believe in both of these applications, both are going to continue ramping up and and we have sufficient resources to support that for other reasons.

    我們相信這兩個應用程式都將繼續成長,並且出於其他原因我們有足夠的資源來支援這一點。

    Kevin Garrigan - Analyst

  • Yes, got it.

    是的,明白了。

  • Got it.

    知道了。

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • That makes perfect sense.

    這是完全有道理的。

  • Thank you for that on.

    謝謝你。

  • And then just a quick follow-up.

    然後進行快速跟進。

  • If you were to win another one or two kind of RFQs I know you just talked about your on your partnerships with manufacturing partners, but are your current manufacturing lines that you have with them?

    如果您要贏得另外一種或兩種詢價,我知道您剛剛談到了與製造合作夥伴的合作關係,但是您目前與他們擁有的生產線嗎?

  • Are they enough for an additional one or two RFQs?

    它們是否足以額外發出一兩個詢價?

  • Or would you have to ask them to add capacity or add a manufacturing line?

    還是您必須要求他們增加產能或增加生產線?

  • Salehian Soroush - CEO

    Salehian Soroush - CEO

  • Yes, absolutely.

    是的,一點沒錯。

  • So that is exactly part of all the manufacturing line planning that we have been doing and we are increasing our efforts now this year, we are including already the capacity that's needed to support, not just the existing wins, but also a number of the additional program wins that we plan to to close out and our job, which is obviously, we don't go and build a bunch of capacity years in advance, but we when we work with our partners, we ensure that one to sufficient spaces available the line is replicable so that both of those can happen in time ahead of these SOPs.

    因此,這正是我們一直在做的所有生產線規劃的一部分,今年我們正在加大努力,我們已經包括了支持所需的產能,不僅是現有的勝利,還包括許多額外的勝利計劃的勝利是我們計劃結束我們的工作,很明顯,我們不會提前幾年去建立一堆產能,但當我們與合作夥伴合作時,我們確保有足夠的可用空間生產線是可複製的,因此這兩者都可以在這些SOP 之前及時發生。

  • And obviously, as you know, timing usually is couple of years or so.

    顯然,如您所知,時間通常大約是幾年。

  • You have enough notice which gives us enough time to be able to actually I do have that additional capacity, but again, we are already doing that capacity for additional customer support because we see that huge pull from the market for transition to FMC WSI.

    您已經得到了足夠的通知,這讓我們有足夠的時間能夠真正擁有額外的能力,但同樣,我們已經在提供額外的客戶支援能力,因為我們看到市場向 FMC WSI 過渡的巨大吸引力。

  • As I said, this is not feedback at least that we're seeing from existing customers is no longer a matter of it's as a matter of when and what some of the timing is kind of shifting and on the passenger side is aligning to where we are going, where we're headed and at our existing SOPs, which we see it as a key positive sign or then Thank you at this time, we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session.

    正如我所說,這不是反饋,至少我們從現有客戶那裡看到的不再是時間和內容的問題,某些時間點正在發生變化,而乘客方面正在與我們的位置保持一致正在前進,我們要去哪裡,按照我們現有的標準作業程序,我們認為這是一個關鍵的正面訊號,或者謝謝,此時,我們的問答環節已經結束。
