China Automotive Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAAS) is a Chinese-based power steering components and system supplier. Shares jumped 42.06% on Wednesday, December 19, 2018. Over the past three months, China Automotive has seen an average daily volume of 28,510 shares. However, on Wednesday, 546,220 shares traded hands, equating to $1.66 million in dollar volume.

Shares surged Wednesday after China Automotive announced it has initiated a development program for a recirculating-ball steering (RCB) system in conjunction with Chrysler’s (NYSE: FCAU) Autonomous Vehicle product development. The development program, known as the i-RCB Program, began in the Fall of 2018 and is currently in the Design Verification (DV) test phase. Mass production of the steering system is expected to begin in August 2019 with projected annual sales of about 45,000 units. China Automotive is also looking to take advantage of other market opportunities for their new product, including the Chinese domestic heavy-duty truck market. Mr. Qizhou Wu, CEO of China Automotive, commented, “Our nearly ten-year track record with Chrysler anchored us to be the trusted supplier choice for their promising new product in a key secular market trend. Domestically, we are having serious discussions with a few large OEMs in the commercial vehicle sector.” Here is the full press release detailing the i-RCB Program:

China Automotive Systems, Inc. Press Release:

WUHAN, China, Dec. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — China Automotive Systems, Inc. (CAAS) (“CAAS” or the “Company”), a leading power steering components and systems supplier in China, today announced it has begun a development program for a new recirculating-ball steering (“RCB”) steering system (“i-RCB Program”) in tandem with Chrysler’s Autonomous Vehicle product development.

Started in the fall of 2018, the i-RCB Program is currently in the Design Verification (“DV”) test phase. The Company expects to begin mass production in August 2019 with annual sales of approximately 45,000 units. In addition to orders from Chrysler North America, the technology of i-RCB has significant other market opportunities in the Chinese domestic heavy-duty truck market.

Intelligent hybrid power steering combines traditional RCB with electric power steering (“EPS”) to monitor or control basic functions such as steering speed, active returning, independent steering, and emergency steering. In addition, intelligent hybrid power steering provides extended functions such as lane monitoring with departure warning and crosswind compensation.

Mr. Qizhou Wu, Chief Executive Officer of CAAS, commented, “Autonomous driving is already on the product roadmap of many US and Chinese auto makers. Steering is a critical component in the autonomous driving ecosystem as on-road execution is crucial for safety measures. Our nearly ten-year track record with Chrysler anchored us to be the trusted supplier choice for their promising new product in a key secular market trend. Domestically, we are having serious discussions with a few large OEMs in the commercial vehicle sector.”
