MOEA Showcases 18 Cutting-Edge Innovations to Accelerate Taiwan’s AI Smart Vehicle Industry at E-Mobility Taiwan

2025 / 04 / 24


The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) unveiled 18 breakthrough R&D achievements today at the “TARC Pavilion” during 2025 E-Mobility Taiwan Exhibition. In collaboration with 28 industry partners, the showcased technologies spotlight Taiwan’s advancements in AI integration and electrification for smart mobility. The initiative emphasizes not only research excellence but also real-world industrial applications—demonstrating Taiwan’s growing influence in the global smart vehicle ecosystem.


With AI technology rapidly reshaping mobility, this year’s TARC Pavilion focuses on autonomous driving innovations. A highlight of the showcase is the “Level 3 AI self-driving and cybersecurity Integration” developed by the Automotive Research & Testing Center (ARTC), which brings together the expertise of local leaders including Elan, oToBrite, ASUS, DFI, Arcadyan, Chimei Automotive, and Rotatech. This system combines AI-enabled smart driving, intelligent cockpit monitoring, and cybersecurity, and has powered the world’s first Level 3 autonomous electric bus certified under UN R157 regulation—marking a significant step toward safer, smarter mobility.

ARTC’s Level 3 autonomous driving system integrates key players from Taiwan’s smart driving sector, building a local supply chain ready to compete on the global stage.


The integrated system enables advanced features such as self-navigation, lane changing, and obstacle avoidance. It also includes real-time driver monitoring using facial and posture recognition. If a driver becomes unresponsive, the vehicle safely pulls over and alerts backend operators. With OTA (over-the-air) update capabilities and robust cybersecurity, the system is positioned to lead Taiwan’s smart vehicle supply chain onto the international stage.


Another highlight is the Industrial Technology Research Institute’s (ITRI) “Smart Charging Management and Dispatch System,”which has revolutionized electric bus charging methods. Representing a global first in applying fleet charging and dispatch to smart city energy management, this AI-powered solution optimizes power usage and spatial efficiency at depots, as successfully demonstrated in collaboration with Chung Hsing Bus Company and applied at Taipei’s Beitou Shilin Technology Park Depot, Taiwan’s largest electric bus operation center. It enables flexible charging schedules based on each vehicle’s battery level, route, and timetable—significantly reducing electricity contract demand, saving approximately 30% in manpower and operating costs, and extending battery lifespan. The system also features AI-based remote monitoring to prevent risks like overheating or short circuits, thereby boosting overall fleet efficiency.

ITRI’s pioneering Smart Charging Management and Dispatch System combines AI-based control with flexible scheduling technologies, enabling Chung Hsing Bus depots to optimize charging times and improve space utilization.


Both technologies received 2025 Edison Awards, a testament to Taiwan’s innovation prowess in the global smart mobility arena.


In addition, CMC (China Motor Corporation) presented the ET35, Taiwan’s first mass-produced 3.5-ton intelligent electric commercial vehicle. Designed and manufactured entirely with components sourced from local suppliers—with a localization rate of over 90%—the ET35 features domestically developed ADAS Level 2, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and cloud-based data integration. This all-in-one solution supports enterprise-level decarbonization and smart logistics, and is slated for mass production in Q3 2025.


CMC introduced the ET35—Taiwan’s first 3.5-ton smart electric truck—built with over 90% locally made parts, from chassis to battery cells.
