MCT and Bosch Sign Strategic Cooperation Agreement
Leveraging Bosch’s Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing Services to Accelerate the Mass Production of MCT’s Physical AI Infrastructure
On June 10, 2026, MCT and Bosch formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The partnership will further strengthen MCT’s capabilities in building infrastructure native to the Physical AI era. Under the agreement, Bosch will provide MCT with support in mass-production ramp-up, manufacturing and supply chain management, with a focus on system-level packaging for inertial measurement units and related electronics manufacturing services. By leveraging Bosch’s professional contract manufacturing expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities, MCT will systematically enhance the scalability of its Physical AI infrastructure delivery.
This partnership represents an important strategic step in MCT’s long-term commitment to defining the native infrastructure of the Physical AI era. It will further strengthen the company’s manufacturing, quality and supply chain systems, while enhancing its capabilities for industrial-scale delivery.
Bringing Physical AI Infrastructure into Real-World Value Chains
The value of Physical AI will ultimately be validated through real devices, real-world applications and real industrial value chains. It will be deployed across embodied intelligence, intelligent driving, the low-altitude economy, commercial space, satellite internet and industrial intelligence, becoming a foundational capability that can be relied upon over the long term in the physical world.
Infrastructure capable of supporting the industrialization of Physical AI must combine a closed-loop technology system with engineering maturity, manufacturing stability and delivery certainty.
Through this partnership, MCT recognizes Bosch’s deep expertise in industrial manufacturing, while Bosch also values MCT’s core strengths in Physical AI. Bosch has long been deeply engaged in automotive technologies, electronics manufacturing and industrialization. Globally, the company uses more than 100 billion electronic components each year and maintains direct relationships and large-scale procurement operations with major semiconductor suppliers worldwide. Bosch’s Suzhou facility and several other Bosch plants in China have been recognized by the World Economic Forum as Lighthouse Factories, reflecting world-class standards in intelligent manufacturing. Bosch’s industrialization and supply chain capabilities will help MCT further improve manufacturing efficiency and delivery stability across its product portfolio.
Beyond One Million Vehicles and Five Billion Kilometres: Strengthening Certainty in Industrial-Scale Delivery
Guided by its full-stack, data-driven strategy that integrates software and hardware, MCT has built a complete technology chain spanning perception, computing, data, simulation, models and execution. Supported by commercial deployment in more than one million vehicles, over five billion kilometres of real-world driving data, and years of deep collaboration with leading automotive manufacturers, MCT has accumulated substantial data assets and engineering expertise. These capabilities have enabled the company to establish a vertically integrated “chip–hardware–model” closed-loop system with significant time-based barriers to replication.
Within this system, chips determine the autonomy and certainty of foundational capabilities. Hardware determines whether products can operate reliably in demanding environments. Models enable systems to understand, predict and respond to the complexity of the physical world. Data, in turn, enables chips, hardware and models to evolve through a continuous cycle of iteration.
The cooperation with Bosch in electronics manufacturing services marks an important step in further strengthening MCT’s capabilities in product industrialization and manufacturing delivery. Under the current plan, Bosch will support MCT in completing the mass-production ramp-up of its inertial measurement unit (IMU) module portfolio within 2026. Looking ahead, the two companies will explore opportunities to expand their cooperation into the manufacturing of additional intelligent hardware products, based on evolving business needs.
Enhancing Product Delivery through Industrialization, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Support
By drawing on Bosch’s experience and capabilities in electronics manufacturing services, MCT will further improve product consistency, manufacturing stability and delivery control. Bosch will also provide relevant support during the industrialization and mass-production ramp-up of new products, establishing a more robust manufacturing foundation for product delivery in key sectors such as embodied intelligence and the low-altitude economy.
Building on Bosch’s global production network, including key locations in Hungary, Penang in Malaysia and Mexico, the two companies will also explore opportunities for cooperation across additional regions and intelligent hardware categories, in line with future business development needs.
From a closed-loop technology system to an industrial-scale delivery system, and from large-scale commercial validation to product deployment across a broader range of industries, MCT is advancing its proven methodologies into manufacturing and delivery systems built to meet even higher standards of industrialization and scale.
As the Physical AI era unfolds, the manufacturing foundations being laid today will become dependable underlying capabilities across every industrial application they serve.
