LAS VEGAS — BlackBerry Limited announced that Dongfeng Motor, one of China’s largest automakers, has selected a BlackBerry IVY™-powered PATEO Digital Cockpit for the automaker’s next-generation, all-electric VOYAH H97 model, following the completion of a proof of concept (POC) project.
As a result of the agreement, Dongfeng will deploy new applications to enhance the in-vehicle experience for drivers and passengers. Set to enter mass production in 2024, the premium BlackBerry IVY-enabled VOYAH H97 model will also incorporate Electra Vehicles, Inc.’s BlackBerry IVY-powered AI battery management solution – EVE-Ai™ – designed to provide real-time, personalized recommendations for EV battery management to improve EV range and lifetime.
With PATEO’s network of partners encompassing voice, entertainment, vehicle health monitoring and secure payments, the company plans to further deploy BlackBerry IVY to Chinese automakers.
“With this first design win for IVY, PATEO is proud to further cement our already strong working relationship with BlackBerry, whose global automotive software industry expertise is second to none,” said Ken YING, Founder and Chairman, PATEO.
Announced in 2020 as part of a multi-year, global agreement, BlackBerry IVY is a scalable, cloud-connected software platform co-developed with Amazon Web Services. Automakers can use BlackBerry IVY to help create in-vehicle services that respond to and enhance driver and passenger experiences.
