Is an Australian technology company with strengths in software and electronics for autonomous ready vehicles. Suzuki entered into an agreement in September 2021 and invested in  2022, and has since been evaluating the possibility of collaboration.

In the co-development project, autonomous vehicle platform, Blanc Robot, will be integrated to the ladder frame of Suzuki’s 4WD Jimny, electrified by Applied EV and controlled by their central control system, Digital Backbone.

The two companies intend to bring the Blanc Robot to production and develop business models to expand the adoption of autonomous electric vehicles and enhance brand awareness.
