As automobiles are becoming more intelligent and closely linked, the connected vehicles sector is fast emerging. To meet the needs of industries, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) today (18 September 2017) brings together over 20 enterprises from the automotive and accessories, mobile networks, transportation and infrastructure industries to form the “Hong Kong Connected Vehicles Cluster” (HKCVC) to facilitate exchange among industry practitioners for business development in connected vehicles to tap new business opportunities in the promising sector.
Dr Lawrence Cheung, Director (Technology Development) of HKPC, said, “HKPC and its Automotive Parts and Accessory Systems R&D Centre have rich experience in R&D and extensive industry networks. As the co-ordinator and technical advisor of HKCVC, HKPC will help industry master technical standards of the connected vehicles. In addition, drawing on the joint efforts of vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure providers, software and hardware suppliers, we will develop automotive-grade connected technologies and products for the market.”
In the coming three years, HKCVC will focus on four technology areas, namely smart sensor and control, smart mobility, data analytic and security, demonstration and testing. In addition, HKCVC will actively explore strategic partnership with related Mainland and overseas organizations to promote technology innovation and collaboration.
