The best way to predict the future is to create the future. Today, we are in the age of great revolutions in the centenary history of automotive. PIX Moving has been taking actions to create the future for the coming autonomous driving era.

2021 Milestone Highlights

June 2019, the first 3D printed chassis platform in the automotive industry
November 2020, the first autonomous driving skateboard chassis platform
July 2021, the first algorithm-driven vehicle design
August 2021, the first dieless forming system for vehicle manufacturing
September 2021, the first company to launch and operate Moving Space

2021, raging epidemic, stagnating globalization, faltering autonomous driving industry, it’s an era full of uncertainties, but also an epoch for heroes and talents. With 2021 drawing to a satisfactory end, PIX Moving is looking back at the past one year from three dimensions: point-line-plane.

POINT — The Revolution Starts From Product

1.The launch of PIX skateboard chassis platforms: Gen-1 and Gen-2

PIX Moving launched the first version of the skateboard platform in May 2021 at the World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference 2021 in partnership with Audi’s wholly-owned subsidiary Italdesign. In November, PIX launched the PIX Ultra-Skateboard chassis platform v2, which will be used in the mass production of PIX robobus, the complete autonomous driving shuttle robo-vehicle.
