Meanwhile, we are cultivating long-term relationships with top-tier global suppliers, policy institutes, academia and local governments to enhance the execution of our “3 Smart’’ strategy.
Let’s work together to redefine human mobility in a cleaner, safer, and more efficient way!
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Experienced Executives
Our senior team has decades of top level automotive management experience – three of our founding members are former CEOs from global top-tier OEMs.
“3 Smart” Strategy
Starting with smart cars where we have deep knowledge and industry experience, we are adding the application of relevant technologies, such as sensing algorithms, V2X capability, and connected mobility, enabling a broader system of smart roads and cities supported by the progress of infrastructure and policy development. In short, one development can result in multiple use cases.
V2X Enabled Autonomous Driving
Embedded sensors in a car have inherent limitations for example in bright light or bad weather conditions. An enabled road infrastructure and even other vehicles on the road also have a role to play in enhancing road safety. We believe that V2X enabled autonomous driving is the ultimate solution to true self-driving cars.
New Retailing and Services
We will utilise our resources in conventional distribution channels as well as the innovative User Operation practices used by internet giants to create new retailing models. For example, precision marketing can be carried out by establishing the charging infrastructure network with partners such as the National Grid and/or analyzing the data from a pool of over 3,000 distributors.
Top-tier Supply Chain
Our supply chain partners are the best in the industry. Managing this best-in-class supply chain is one of Human Horizons’ fortes.
International Committee Of Science And Technology – Think Tank
Human Horizons’ Think Tank boasts of former executives of leading international companies, IoV and autonomous driving experts, top vehicle development engineers and leading international vehicle designers. More than half hold a Ph.D. or Master’s Degree. The Human Horizons International Science & Technology Advisory Committee chaired by Academic C.C. Chan, who is regarded as the ‘Father of EVs in Asia’, brings together top scientists from around the world to form a powerful think tank for Human Horizons to bring its ‘3-Smart’ strategy to life.
Our Team
Our founding team has on average over two decades of industry experience providing in-depth knowledge and capability to our business.
The engineering team has an average professional experience of approximately eight years which is rare in the Chinese market. Unlike mainstream OEMs, we have a team with diverse backgrounds including people from the internet sector, tier-1 suppliers, consumer electronics and financial institutions.
As of April 2020, the company has over 1000 staff, among which more than 65% hold a Masters Degree or above. We are a truly diversified and vibrant team.
