Core Viewpoint - 2026 is projected to be the year of mass production for steer-by-wire (SBW) technology, aligning with the trend of autonomous driving, leading to an industry upgrade. The target price is set at HKD 10.2 based on an 18x PE valuation for 2026, with a buy rating [1]. Group 1: Industry Trends - The steering system in automobiles is transitioning from electric power steering (EPS) to steer-by-wire (SBW), with average selling prices (ASP) increasing from C-EPS at 1,000 yuan to R-EPS at 2,000 yuan, and further to SBW at 4,000 yuan [1]. - Currently, EPS remains the mainstream technology in the industry, with a domestic penetration rate reaching 99% [1]. Group 2: Company Developments - The company has seen a growing number of clients and orders for its steer-by-wire technology, being the exclusive supplier for Tesla's robotaxi and the supplier for the Li Auto L9 Livis, both set for mass production in the first half of the year [1]. - Tesla's Cybercab is a key vehicle for achieving Level 4 autonomous driving, aiming to eliminate human intervention through a combination of pure vision FSD solutions and steer-by-wire chassis [1]. Group 3: Regulatory Environment - The legal status of steer-by-wire technology has been clarified with the release of the national certification standard "Basic Requirements for Automotive Steering Systems," effective from July 1, 2026. This standard emphasizes safety requirements and introduces functional safety terminology and verification methods [3]. - The new regulations remove the mandatory mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steering system, establishing the legal status of SBW and setting strict safety redundancy and failure response standards [3].
