On April 24, the 2026 (19th) Beijing International Automotive Exhibition officially opened. Several popular vehicle models equipped with YFORE's NearLink Digital Car Key made a collective appearance, becoming a highlight of the exhibition thanks to their innovative technology and drawing the attention of numerous media and industry professionals.
During the exhibition, Li Yangqing, General Manager of the Business Unit at YFORE, and Zeng Guosong, Secretary General of the International NearLink Alliance, jointly attended an exclusive media interview. They engaged in in-depth discussions on key topics such as the global deployment of NearLink technology, high-end overseas expansion of the automotive industry, and the upgrade of China's automotive sector. The dialogue explored industrial applications of NearLink technology, global promotion pathways, and new routes for "technology export and standards export" of China's automotive industry, helping to drive high-quality development of China's automotive sector and demonstrating the technological strength and industry responsibility of Chinese auto parts enterprises.
At present, China's automotive industry is accelerating into the era of Globalization 2.0, with high-end overseas expansion entering a critical transition period. Moving from "product export" to "technology export and standards export" has become the core direction for enhancing the global competitiveness of China's automotive industry. As a new-generation short-range wireless communication technology standard, NearLink technology offers core advantages such as low latency, high reliability, precise synchronization, strong anti-interference, and high security, bringing architectural innovation to in-vehicle applications. It has become an important technological enabler for the high-end global expansion of China's automotive industry, ushering the wireless short-range communication of smart vehicles into a new stage of high-quality development.
YFORE, committed to independent R&D, has achieved the world's first mass production of NearLink technology in automotive applications, launching the NearLink Digital Car Key. This product innovatively adopts phase difference + ToF ranging technology, achieving decimeter-level precise positioning. Its locking/unlocking accuracy is six times higher than traditional BLE-based solutions, completely solving pain points such as "ping-pong" false triggers and "standing and waiting" associated with conventional car keys. It delivers a precise welcome-light experience and a smooth, effortless smart entry experience, unlocking new premium travel scenarios. Currently, the product has been mass-produced in the entire AITO M5, M6, M7, M8, M9 lineup, as well as in the Luxeed R7/New S7, Stelato S9/S9T, and many other models. Meanwhile, YFORE will be the first in the world to mass-produce the NearLink Remote Control in the middle of this year, continuing to lead the industry in technology implementation. YFORE's NearLink technology deployment cycle leads the industry by more than 12 months, setting a benchmark for global NearLink in-vehicle applications and demonstrating the hardcore technological capabilities of Chinese auto parts enterprises.
Rooted in China, serving the world. As a global Tier 1 automotive supplier, YFORE adheres to the integrated value output of "manufacturing + technology + service", has built a worldwide service network, and continues to promote innovative products such as the NearLink Digital Car Key, sharing the achievements in short-range communication innovation with global automotive customers. The International NearLink Alliance is dedicated to driving innovation in new-generation wireless short-range communication technologies and the global construction of the industrial ecosystem, promoting the inclusion of NearLink standards into international standard systems, helping China's automotive industry chain enhance its global voice, and supporting the building of an automotive powerhouse. Together, the two sides will continue to advance international certification, global automaker adaptation, and overseas ecosystem development, deepening industrial collaboration and unleashing joint technological strength.
This interview fully demonstrates the core advantages of YFORE and the NearLink Alliance in technological innovation and ecosystem collaboration, highlighting the key supporting role of leading Tier 1 suppliers in the high-end global expansion of China's automotive industry. Going forward, the two parties will continue to deepen cooperation, promote the large-scale application of NearLink technology in smart vehicles worldwide, help China's automotive manufacturing set sail globally, and jointly build an open, win-win new ecosystem for the global automotive industry.
