Revenue from connected services also saw a considerable boost, climbing to 44.2 million RMB, up 37.9% compared to the previous year. These figures underline the sustained demand and growth potential for PATEO's innovative automotive solutions.
R&D investment is another cornerstone of PATEO's success story, with expenditure rising by 17.4% over the past year. As a testament to its commitment to innovation, PATEO has emerged as the leading domestic provider of smart cockpit and connected service solutions, securing 1,785 patents, including 935 invention patents, by June 30, 2025.
Adding to the excitement surrounding PATEO's growth, the company recently announced a collaboration with Porsche to develop a next-generation infotainment system tailored for the Chinese automotive market. The partnership aims to leverage both companies' strengths to deliver high-quality integrated solutions in a rapidly evolving industry.
Chairman Ying Zhenkai (also known as Ying Yilun) expressed confidence in the company's trajectory, stating, "PATEO has achieved fruitful outcomes by deepening collaboration across upstream and downstream supply chains of our core businesses, with outstanding performance in high-end products, steady progress in our overseas business, and notable revenue growth."
