Here are some application cases of Thor chips in different vehicle models:
Ideal L Series Smart Refresh Version 1: The Ideal L Series Smart Refresh Version, released on May 8, 2025, features the NVIDIA Thor-U chip in its AD Max (Advanced Driving Assistance) system, becoming the world’s first large-scale mass-produced advanced driving assistance platform with the NVIDIA Thor-U chip, offering 700 TOPS of computing power. Later this year, Ideal Auto will introduce a new VLA driver model for the AD Max platform, supporting both the Thor-U chip and dual Orin-X chips, enabling advanced functions such as voice-driven commands, roaming parking space search, and photo location recognition for chauffeur services.
ZEEKR 9X: The ZEEKR 9X is equipped with two Thor-U chips, providing 1400 TOPS of computing power, which significantly enhances the vehicle’s intelligent driving and smart cabin functionalities.
Lynk & Co 900: Lynk & Co has also announced that the 900 model will feature Thor chips, although specific versions and configurations have not been detailed yet. It is expected that the Thor-U chip will be used to enhance the vehicle’s intelligence level.
WeRide and Geely’s Remote Collaboration Robotaxi GXR: The AD1 domain controller based on dual Thor-X chips will be installed in the WeRide and Geely Remote collaboration Robotaxi GXR. The AD1 can provide up to 2000 TOPS of AI computing power. The GXR is expected to begin large-scale deployment next year to meet the high computing requirements of Robotaxis and enable more complex autonomous driving functions.
Additionally, BYD, XPeng Motors, and Guangzhou Automobile Group’s premium brand Hyper have also announced their plans to use the NVIDIA Drive Thor chip in their next-generation electric vehicles. However, specific models and application details may still be in the planning and development stages.
