International Technology Night: How OMODA & JAECOO Are Ushering in a New Era of Smart Mobility

In October 2025, the automotive brands OMODA and JAECOO pulled back the curtain on their ambitions during the much-anticipated International Technology Night, a highlight of their global user summit. At this landmark event, the parent company placed smart mobility, advanced powertrain technology, and user-driven co-creation centre stage — signalling a shift from traditional one-way product delivery toward a participative ecosystem.

Power and Efficiency: Raising the Tech Bar

OMODA & JAECOO’s parent company demonstrated serious engineering credentials: from breaking through solid-state battery safety limits to achieving an engine thermal efficiency of 48 % — well ahead of the typical 38–45 % range in mainstream ICE units.
Specifically, the engineering breakthroughs included an ultra-high expansion ratio of 26:1, a hyperbolic triple-linkage mechanism, 35 % EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) rate, and thermal insulation coatings — all targeted at extracting more usable energy while reducing losses.
Why this matters: each 1 % point of thermal efficiency improvement can reduce vehicle fuel consumption by around 2.5 %.
Coupled with the SHS Super Hybrid System — a synergy of combustion, electrical and software systems — the brands aim to close the gap between hybrid power consumption and pure-electric driving.
This approach positions the vehicles not just as step-changes in efficiency but as practical alternatives for users seeking both lower running costs and engaging mobility.

Smart Mobility & Ecosystem Interaction

But the event wasn’t just about raw power and batteries; it also highlighted how mobility is becoming more intelligent and user-centric. The brand released its intelligent service platform “AiMOGA”, which exemplifies its aim to merge AI, robotics, and vehicle-life integration.
The creative theme “CO-CREATE • CO-DEFINE” underlined a shift in mindset: users are not just buyers but partners in building the mobility ecosystem.
Examples include user forums, brand-partner programmes, interactive design/feature suggestions, and lifestyle-driven retail layouts (One Store, Two Lifestyles) where vehicles sit within a broader framework of mobility, community and experience.
In sum: vehicles evolve from isolated products into nodes in a constantly adapting mobility network where user feedback, lifestyle trends, and technology converge.

Global Footprint & Strategic Expansion

The OMODA & JAECOO brands form part of a wider group ecosystem that includes sister brands and export-first strategy. The forthcoming International User Summit in China (October 2025) will showcase this global push.
The summit will feature three flagship programmes:

• NEXT SHOW – technology showcase, concept cars, architecture unveiling.
• NEXT DRIVE – hands-on sessions, user/media co-creation camps, test drives.
• NEXT COOL – lifestyle engagement, live music, immersive brand experiences.
  These form part of a broader strategy: from a single model offering to a full product matrix, tapping into design, intelligence, safety and service.
  This global strategy is reflected in export ambitions: per Wikipedia, the brands are positioned to reach 1.4 million units globally by 2030 (excluding China).

Why This Matters for Mobility Conversations

1. Technology leadership – By pushing hybrid efficiency and consolidating battery innovations, OMODA & JAECOO signal that hybrids and near-EVs remain viable for global markets.
2. User-centric approach – The co-creation narrative suggests a move away from rigid product cycles to more agile, user-driven feedback loops, reflecting the broader trend of “mobility as a service + experience.”
3. Lifestyle integration – Vehicles are increasingly part of broader ecosystems: smart homes, robotics, community events, digital platforms. Mobility is no longer just about transportation — it’s about living.
4. Global ambition – With an export-focused matrix and multiple touchpoints, the brands underscore how new-energy mobility strategies are not China-only but global in scope.

Looking Ahead

While the event sets a strong tone, the real test will be in delivering these technologies at scale, maintaining affordability, building service networks and turning user enthusiasm into long-term brand loyalty. The hybrid era may still be with us, but the winners will be those who combine powertrain efficiency with digital, service and lifestyle ecosystems.
