The promotion and application of intelligent actuator (AGS) and USB projects in Jaguar Land Rover, Suzuki, GAC Toyota, FAW Hongqi, Anhui Volkswagen and other customers, especially the fixed-point products of GAC Toyota, has laid a good foundation for the company to enter Toyota’s global platform in the next step.
