Aeva Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Continued momentum in automotive, with Plus production win to implement Aeva’s 4D LiDAR on PlusDrive autonomous trucks

Selected Fabrinet for automotive-grade production of 4D LiDAR chip module

On track to complete B sample development by year end and deliveries to our partners in 2022

Aeva (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced its third quarter 2021 results.

Key Company Highlights

  • Key production win with Plus to implement Aeva’s 4D LiDAR as long-range LiDAR on PlusDrive autonomous trucks
  • On track with key development milestones across other automotive and non-automotive collaborations
  • Selected Fabrinet as automotive-grade manufacturing partner (IATF 16949 certified) to produce 4D LiDAR chip module and accelerate manufacturing capabilities
  • Completed product design release for B sample, providing path to final cost structure and deliveries to our partners in 2022

“Aeva is solidifying the path to commercialization of our breakthrough 4D LiDAR,” said Soroush Salehian, Co-Founder and CEO at Aeva. “The production win with Plus is significant because it highlights our growing commercial momentum as the industry increasingly transitions to FMCW LiDAR to enable safe automated driving, and it validates the leading performance and scalability of Aeva’s automotive-grade LiDAR on chip technology. We remain laser focused on supporting our partners and working towards realizing Aeva’s mission to bring perception to all devices.”
