The United States is accelerating efforts to remove Chinese smart connected vehicles from its supply chains, putting pressure on domestic companies to undergo technological substitution.

Foreign media: U.S. federal regulations require phasing out Chinese intelligent connected vehicle software starting with 2027 model year, and hardware from 2030 model year onward; the U.S. automotive industry is urgently removing Chinese supply chain components.

Eagle Wireless, a newly established company in Ohio, has become one of the few domestic U.S. suppliers of onboard communication modules. The company plans to expand its workforce from 140 to 1,000 employees and double its annual revenue to nearly $100 million. However, its initial products were licensed from China's Quectel Communications, requiring full in-house R&D replacement by 2030. Switching to non-Chinese suppliers would increase module costs by 5% to 15%.

U.S. automakers' supply chain scrutiny is intensifying—Polestar has already been banned from sales, while Ford and others have applied for exemptions, and Volvo has received temporary authorization. China urges the U.S. to respect market economy principles and fair competition.
