When discussing **NETA Auto** (a brand under Hozon Auto), their electronic architecture is centered around their proprietary platform, the **Hozon Intelligent Technology (Hozon IPT)**. NETA focuses on a high degree of vertical integration, particularly in high-performance computing and thermal management. ### 1. Centralized Computing & Control NETA has transitioned from a distributed electronic architecture to a centralized, domain-controlled system. | Component | Description | Key Technology | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Hozon Center IPU** | The "Brain" of the vehicle. | Integrates cockpit and driving functions into a single unit. | | **Haozhi Computing** | High-performance computing platform. | Capable of up to 500-1000 TOPS for autonomous driving. | | **Zonal Controllers** | Distributed units that manage local power and sensors. | Reduces wiring harness weight and complexity. | --- ### 2. Intelligent Cockpit Electronics The user interface is powered by high-end consumer-grade hardware to ensure a "smartphone-like" experience. * **Processor:** Uses the **Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155** (and transitioning to 8295) for smooth UI rendering. * **Displays:** Often features large 17.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreens and dedicated passenger entertainment screens. * **Audio:** NETA’s proprietary 7.1.4 surround sound systems integrated with electronic noise cancellation. --- ### 3. ADAS and Sensing Suite NETA’s "NETA PILOT" system relies on a sophisticated array of electronic sensors: | Sensor Type | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | | **LiDAR** | High-precision spatial mapping (used in high-end models like NETA S). | | **HD Cameras** | 11-camera arrays for 360-degree vision and object recognition. | | **Ultrasonic Radars** | Proximity sensing for automated parking (APA). | | **Millimeter-wave Radar** | Long-range obstacle detection in poor weather conditions. | --- ### 4. Power Electronics (The "Haozhi" System) NETA produces several key electronic powertrain components in-house: 1. **SiC Inverters:** Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology is used in their high-performance motors to increase efficiency and support 800V fast charging. 2. **Integrated Thermal Management:** An electronic multi-way valve system that manages battery, motor, and cabin temperatures simultaneously. 3. **PDUs (Power Distribution Units):** High-voltage electronics that manage the flow of energy from the battery to the drive units. --- ### 5. Over-the-Air (OTA) Capabilities The electronic architecture supports full-stack OTA updates. This means the car can update: * **BMS (Battery Management System)** logic. * **Motor Control** algorithms. * **Infotainment** apps and UI. ---
