TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gauzy (NASDAQ: GAUZ), a leading provider of light and vision control technology, is thrilled to announce that its excellent performance in delivery and support of its Smart-Vision® Camera Monitor System (CMS) in the third quarter of 2024 earned it the Outstanding Supplier Award from Yutong, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial buses. During the same quarter this award was received, Gauzy’s business with Yutong increased by 250% year-over-year. The combination of the award and growth in orders from Yutong solidifies Gauzy as the supplier of choice for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology in commercial buses.
Eyal Peso, CEO of Gauzy, stated, “It’s an honor to be chosen by Yutong, one of the world’s most innovative and prestigious companies in commercial buses, as the recipient of its Outstanding Supplier Award. We are unwavering in our commitment to excellence and client service, and are appreciative that Yutong has recognized our efforts in this regard. We will continue to uphold these high standards as we continue to expand our business together.”
Gauzy is the dominant provider of ADAS for Yutong, with its system having already replaced rear-, front- and side-view mirrors on more than 25 different models and configurations of Yutong buses throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Australia and the Middle East. Gauzy and Yutong have been working together to improve road safety in some of the most active cities throughout these geographic regions by replacing mirrors on Yutong’s single and double-decker bus configurations with Gauzy’s Smart-Vision® CMS.
The Smart-Vision® system’s network of high-definition cameras and interior displays significantly improves visibility for drivers by eliminating blind spots, which can reduce the overall costs related to bus accidents by approximately 40%, according to a study conducted by Geneva Public Transport. Moreover, the system helps generate added cost and fuel savings for Yutong by making the buses more aerodynamic and lowering costs associated with replacement of traditional mirrors damaged by obstructions. These benefits collectively contribute to a safer experience for drivers, passengers and pedestrians and increase vehicle availability.
Peso continued, “Receiving Yutong’s Outstanding Supplier Award for our performance is a testament to the quality of our products, strength of our technology and relentlessness of our employees to go above and beyond for our customers. We are very proud of our strong and growing partnership with Yutong, and believe that this Award offers a strong endorsement of Gauzy that can help generate added interest in our vision control solutions from other leading mobility brands.”
Gauzy serves as the exclusive supplier of ADAS for all buses that Yutong imports to the European Union equipped with this technology.
