Momenta Unveils at IAA 2025 Munich Auto Show, Global Collaboration Upgraded Again

On September 8th, the highly anticipated 2025 Germany International Automobile and Smart Mobility Expo (IAA Mobility 2025) officially kicked off. Globally leading autonomous driving company Momenta participated in the exhibition, showcasing the brand's development history, end-to-end flywheel large model technology achievements, and the latest progress with ecosystem partners. Momenta has not only been developing rapidly in the Chinese market but has also achieved significant success in the EU market, demonstrating the strong capabilities of Chinese AI technology to the world.

Global cooperation accelerates as Momenta scores frequent successes in expanding into the EU market.

At the press conference, Gerhard Steiger, President of Momenta Europe, stated: With its leading AI technology, Momenta has established in-depth collaborations with more than 20 major global automobile manufacturers. Recently, the overseas version of IM L6 (IM5) and the overseas version of LS6 (IM6) have officially launched and gone on sale in the UK. Both new models are equipped with Momenta’s Flywheel Large Model Assisted Driving System.

Meanwhile, the strategic cooperation between Momenta and Uber, the world’s largest mobility service platform, continues to deepen. The two parties plan to launch commercial operations of L4 autonomous driving Robotaxi in Munich in 2026. This is not only an important milestone in their partnership, but also a crucial starting point for Momenta to begin large-scale deployment of Robotaxi in the European market.

On the eve of the IAA, Momenta has made further strategic advancements by forming a strategic partnership with Valeo, a global leader in the field of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The two parties will establish a comprehensive and long-term partnership in the Chinese and global markets to jointly develop advanced mid-to-high level ADAS and autonomous driving products, systems, and solutions.

Flywheel large model, reinforcement learning enables intelligent driving "self-growth".

Since its inception, Momenta has proposed the "One Flywheel, Two Legs" strategy, which is data-driven and enables intelligent assisted driving and autonomous driving Robotaxi to collaborate and evolve together, achieving large-scale deployment of autonomous driving more efficiently and rapidly.

Momenta is the industry's first company to mass-produce a one-stage end-to-end large model. Momenta's latest R6 Flywheel large model is not only the world's most advanced assisted driving algorithm but also the first reinforcement learning large model in China to achieve true mass production on an end-to-end basis. Unlike "imitation learning," "reinforcement learning" allows the system to explore new driving behaviors in a simulated environment, learning from its own successes and failures, rapidly improving itself, and enabling the system's driving capabilities to potentially surpass human driving levels.

Momenta adopts a "map-free end-to-end" solution, which does not rely on high-precision maps and can be rapidly deployed in urban roads, highways, parking, and other scenarios around the world. It has become the first Chinese intelligent driving company to implement a single technological solution globally. Through large-scale deployment, Momenta has extracted 70 million golden data points, containing a vast number of complex long-tail challenges that intelligent driving systems need to overcome.

Autonomous driving is by no means an additional feature, but a basic configuration.

Gerhard Steiger emphasized that Momenta does not view intelligent assisted driving as a luxury, but as standard equipment for every vehicle. Intelligent driving is by no means an additional feature; it is becoming a basic configuration, just like seat belts and airbags.

Based on the "safety first" philosophy, Momenta is rapidly achieving large-scale mass production deployment of assisted driving. It took two years for the first 100,000 vehicles to be equipped with Momenta's intelligent driving system, only six months for the second 100,000 vehicles, and less than three months for the third 100,000 vehicles. Currently, the mass production scale of vehicles equipped with Momenta's intelligent assisted driving system has exceeded 400,000 units.

At the IAA Mobility 2025, Momenta, as a representative of Chinese AI technology, showcased the future blueprint of intelligent driving to the world. In the future, with the continuous deepening of cooperation with global partners and ongoing technological innovations, Momenta is expected to further promote the widespread adoption of intelligent driving technology, bringing a safer, more convenient, and efficient future of smart mobility to global users.
