Santa Clara, California, November 12th, 2021 — Telenav, a leading provider of navigation and intelligent connected vehicle software, today announced that BYD has chosen Telenav's navigation APK, guidance solution, and Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) for BYD-branded vehicles built on the 6125 platform for overseas markets — spanning Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, South America, and South Asia.
At the heart of the program is a unified navigation APK delivering localized route planning and turn-by-turn guidance across BYD's export markets. Routing strategies can be tuned to local road environments and driving habits, so vehicles deliver navigation that feels native — whether in dense urban commutes or long cross-region journeys.
"BYD is one of the world's fastest-growing automakers, and being selected across six global regions on a single platform speaks to the trust we've built. Together we are giving BYD a navigation and safety foundation that scales as fast as its global ambitions do," said Hassan Wahla, President & Chief Customer Officer, Automotive, at Telenav.
"ISA is where navigation intelligence meets real-world safety and compliance. By fusing our navigation data and road attributes with speed limit awareness, we help BYD meet regulatory requirements market by market while keeping drivers informed and confident on unfamiliar roads," said Manfred Fu, General Manager, Automotive, at Telenav.
As a key component of the solution, Intelligent Speed Assistance works together with navigation data and road attributes to keep drivers informed of posted speed limits and changes along the route — helping BYD meet regulatory requirements in overseas markets while sharpening driver awareness. Navigation and ISA together form a unified software foundation for the smart cockpit and safety capabilities of BYD's export vehicles.
With a software-based navigation and ISA solutions, BYD can integrate and update overseas vehicle features on the 6125 platform faster and more efficiently — meeting today's program needs while leaving ample headroom for future feature expansion as BYD continues to strengthen its smart cockpit and driver assistance offerings worldwide.
