Leadrive's unique technology roadmap — combining forward design of power modules with vertical integration of motor control systems — creates dual competitive advantages in both performance and cost. Leadrive mass-produced its first-generation motor controller in 2020, launched the industry's first PEBB (Power Electronics Building Block) in 2021, rolled out its second-generation dual-motor controller with a power density exceeding 43kVA/L in 2023, and released its third-generation dual-motor controller with a power density over 62kVA/L in 2024. To date, the application scope of its products has successfully expanded from new energy vehicles to cutting-edge sectors including electric aircraft, embodied intelligence and AIDC power supplies, fully validating the advancement and reliability of its core technologies.

Leveraging industry-leading capabilities in product innovation, industrialization implementation and supply chain integration, Leadrive's independently developed new energy vehicle motor controllers, PEBB and power modules have been adopted in dozens of vehicle models from major domestic and global automakers, with robust sales across China and overseas markets. As of the end of 2025, cumulative shipments of power modules reached 4 million units, while total cumulative shipments of motor controllers and PEBB exceeded 1 million units, supporting the green transition of the global new energy vehicle industry.
