BEIJING, CHINA -
Media OutReach Newswire - 11 June 2026 - AIVA, an AI-native mobility brand, was officially unveiled in Beijing on 9 June 2026.
AIVA will collaborate with Volcano Engine, ByteDance's cloud and AI
platform, to jointly define, design, and develop a new generation of AI
vehicles. Volcano Engine will provide AIVA with advanced capabilities,
including the Doubao AI Foundation Model and intelligent cockpit,
enabling smarter in-vehicle interactions.
At the launch event, AIVA unveiled its brand name and logo, introducing a
development philosophy centered on "AI-first vehicle creation"—where AI
comes before the car itself. It is believed that AI-native vehicles
will fundamentally redefine the relationship between people and
automobiles. AIVA also showcased the AIVA Origin Concept, while AIVA
ME7, its first mass-production model, is scheduled to debut in 2026. The
AIVA lineup will target the mainstream market segment priced above RMB
200,000.
AIVA, short for
Artificial Intelligence Voyage Ahead, reflects the brand's vision
of AI accompanying users on every journey toward the future. Built
around AI-native mobility, AIVA aims to create embodied AI companions
powered by advanced intelligence, transforming vehicles from mere
transportation tools into trusted partners that understand, accompany,
and serve their users.
When AI is deeply integrated into the vehicle, users no longer need to
navigate complex menus. Instead, AI operates around human intent, making
the interaction intuitive and direct. By understanding real-time
context and user preferences, it can proactively anticipate needs and
coordinate vehicle capabilities, delivering a more natural, personalized
mobility experience.
As an independently operated company backed by a powerful alliance of
strategic shareholders, AIVA will oversee brand development, product
strategy, and business operations. SERES Group, as a key shareholder and
industrial partner, will provide expertise in vehicle manufacturing and
supply chain management. CATL will contribute comprehensive battery
solutions. Shaci Zhiyuan, a strategic institutional investor, will
provide industrial resource support.
Looking ahead, AIVA will broaden its product lineup through rapid
innovation and iteration. By focusing on AI-powered interaction,
intelligent experiences, emotional companionship, and safety-centered
care, AIVA is committed to creating vehicles that not only move people,
but understand them, unlocking a new era of intelligent mobility.
