Aeva Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results

Selected by Daimler Truck for Series Production Program with an Order Book* of $1Bn

Announced and Demonstrated Atlas, World’s First Automotive-Grade 4D LiDAR for Mass Production

Growing Momentum in Automotive with Multiple Passenger Vehicle RFQs, Including with a New Global Top 10 Passenger Vehicle OEM

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--()--Aeva® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 results.

Key Company Highlights

  • Daimler Truck selected Aeva to supply long and ultra-long range LiDARs and perception software for its series production vehicle program with an order book* of $1 billion and Aeva SOP in 2026
  • Advancing on multiple passenger vehicle RFQs, including with a new global top 10 passenger vehicle OEM
  • Announced Aeva Atlas™, world’s first automotive-grade 4D LiDAR that is powered by Aeva’s latest silicon innovations, including the Aeva CoreVision™ fourth-generation LiDAR-on-Chip module, and Aeva X1™ System-on-Chip processor
  • On track for first industrial program deployment with Nikon by end of 2024

2023 was a landmark year for Aeva, as we secured multiple production awards, including our first major automotive production win with Daimler Truck, one of the world’s largest commercial trucking OEMs,” said Soroush Salehian, Co-Founder and CEO at Aeva. “We believe this win is just the beginning of the growing consensus around FMCW as OEMs look to introduce highway speed autonomy at mass scale. The unique performance and maturity of Aeva’s 4D LiDAR, along with our financial strength, position us to lead this adoption, as we progress on multiple additional automotive RFQs anticipated to be awarded this year.”
