Machenike Closes Hundreds of Millions of RMB in Series C1 Funding to Accelerate Mass Production of Intelligent Driving Solutions and Global Market Expansion | BlueRun Ventures

On September 20, Machenike announced the completion of its Series C1 funding round, raising several hundred million yuan — a strong signal that the capital market recognizes its mass-production capabilities and innovation in autonomous driving. The round was led jointly by Quzhou Zhisheng Industrial Investment, Prosperity7, Zhongtai Renhe, and Walden International. Notably, Prosperity7 and Walden International, both existing shareholders, reinvested in this round, demonstrating their continued confidence in Machenike's future growth. BlueRun Ventures led Machenike's Pre-A round and also participated in its Series A. Since its founding, Machenike has been committed to becoming a global leader in intelligent driving technology, dedicated to providing safer, more efficient, and more comfortable smart mobility solutions for users worldwide. This successful funding round not only injects substantial financial resources into the company but also opens up greater room for strategic planning, market expansion, and technology R&D. Machenike will increase investment in cutting-edge technologies such as BEV perception algorithms and cockpit-driving-parking integration, develop next-generation ADAS advanced driver-assistance systems, enhance product competitiveness, and accelerate the mass-production deployment of intelligent driving solutions — empowering the smart transportation industry with technology and pushing the sector toward greater intelligence and automation. The company's "second growth curve," the next-generation new-energy intelligent heavy-duty truck HyperTruck, is already being manufactured and delivered to the global market through deep partnerships with heavy-truck OEMs. With this funding, Machenike will accelerate the global market layout for its new-energy intelligent heavy trucks in key markets, including overseas collaboration with Aramco in the Middle East and Europe, promoting the widespread application and industrialization of intelligent driving technology. At the same time, Machenike will strengthen cooperation with government bodies and industry organizations to contribute to building a more comprehensive and efficient smart transportation ecosystem.

Dr. Feilong Liu, Founder and CEO of Machenike, stated: "We are deeply honored by the participation of new investors Zhisheng Industrial Investment and Zhongtai Renhe, and we are especially grateful for the continued support from our existing shareholders Prosperity7 and Walden International — in particular, Prosperity7 has now backed Machenike for four consecutive rounds. This successful funding round marks yet another important milestone in our company's development. Going forward, Machenike will execute a broader range of projects with Saudi Aramco in the Middle East and launch many new initiatives domestically. In the future, Machenike will continue to uphold its innovation-driven philosophy, accelerate the R&D and application of intelligent driving technology, and is poised to create new waves in the global intelligent driving arena — injecting fresh momentum into industry development while generating greater value for investors, consumers, and society at large."
