China's carmakers' association set out a 2027 plan for in-vehicle edge-network standards
CAAM's software-defined vehicle working group, which met on 6 November with carmakers and more than 40 supply-chain companies, plans to develop a series of in-vehicle edge-network standards in phases under a unified-interface project.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) held its 2026 software-defined vehicle working meeting on the afternoon of 6 November and published its account of it on 11 November, according to the CAAM technical department’s report.
Wang Qiuyuan of the technical department presented the group’s 2027 priorities: improving its SDV ecosystem interaction platform, building an industry ecosystem for in-vehicle edge-network technology, compiling a white paper, and a “unified interface” project to develop a series of in-vehicle edge-network standards in phases.
Representatives of carmakers including FAW, Dongfeng, GAC, BAIC, Seres, Geely, Chery, Li Auto, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz attended, along with more than 40 supply-chain companies including Yinwang, Desay SV, Hirain, Denso and NXP. CAAM deputy secretary-general Yang Zhongping called for mutual recognition of common rules on safety, OTA and whole-vehicle compliance to avoid fragmented standards.
Geely reported on its work on an in-vehicle edge-network white paper, and an Aumovio research manager presented RCNet, a remote-control protocol for body edge controllers that is planned as a group standard.
