( NASDAQ:GAUZ) made a major leap forward, with Mercedes-Benz selecting the company’s dual smart glass stack for its new Vision V electric van.
At Auto Shanghai 2025, Mercedes-Benz unveiled its all-electric Vision V concept van featuring Gauzy’s ( NASDAQ:GAUZ) dual smart glass technology—marking a first for the German automaker. Approximately 75% of the vehicle’s glazing incorporates Gauzy’s advanced SPD and PDLC stack, enabling dynamic control over transparency, shading, and privacy. This milestone reinforces the growing partnership between Gauzy and Mercedes-Benz, while highlighting the accelerating adoption of smart glass as a core feature in next-generation electric vehicles.
This isn’t the company’s first collaboration with a major automaker. In October 2024, Ferrari selectedGauzy Ltd. ( NASDAQ:GAUZ) as a strategic supplier, integrating the company’s SPD (Suspended Particle Device) smart glass technology into the panoramic roof of its first-ever four-seater, the Purosangue. This marked Ferrari’s inaugural use of smart glass in a mass-produced vehicle, enhancing passenger comfort and vehicle design by allowing electrical control over glass transparency to reduce glare and heat without traditional shading systems.
The partnership underscores Gauzy’s growing influence in the automotive sector, aligning with its collaborations with other luxury brands like McLaren, Mercedes, and Cadillac.
In addition to its collaborations with major automakers, Gauzy( NASDAQ:GAUZ) has partnered with Ambarella to enhance its Smart-Vision® camera monitoring system (CMS) using Ambarella’s CVflow® AI system-on-chip. This integration brings advanced AI capabilities to Gauzy’s CMS, improving road safety through features like real-time hazard detection and adaptive maneuver lines. This AI-powered CMS is already operational in Ford Trucks, marking a significant step in the adoption of advanced safety technologies in commercial vehicles.
Gauzy also recently secured a renewal of its exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), allowing its Smart-Vision® CMS to replace traditional mirrors on public transit buses across all 50 U.S. states, pending state-level approvals. This development opens the potential for retrofitting over 900,000 buses nationwide, significantly expanding the reach of Gauzy’s safety technologies.
On top of that,Gauzy( NASDAQ:GAUZ)is expanding its presence in the safety tech sector through a partnership with the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) in New York State. As of October 2024, CDTA became the first US public transit agency to fully replace traditional side mirrors with Gauzy’s Smart-Vision® Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) across its bus fleet.
The system uses high-definition cameras and interior displays to provide drivers with expanded visibility, automatic risk alerts, and improved situational awareness — especially in poor weather or low-light conditions. With plans to expand further across the US, this deployment marks a major step toward modernizing transit safety and reinforces Gauzy’s growing footprint in the North American commercial vehicle market. |
