neueHCT Showcases HCT Orbis Rider Assistance System at EICMA 2026

Chinese intelligent driving technology company neueHCT presented its HCT Orbis rider assistance system at EICMA 2026, which opened on 3 November in Milan, Italy. The exhibition, officially known as the International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition, provided the company with an opportunity to demonstrate its latest developments in intelligent two-wheel mobility to the global motorcycle industry.

HCT Orbis is an Advanced Rider Assistance System (ARAS) designed to improve motorcycle safety through technologies including adaptive cruise control (ACC), environmental perception, risk warnings and active safety functions.

neueHCT used technical demonstrations and functional presentations at its exhibition stand to highlight the system’s capabilities. The showcase attracted representatives from two-wheeler manufacturers, media organisations, industry specialists and other visitors.

HCT Orbis rider assistance system targets motorcycle safety

neueHCT develops advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and intelligent driving technologies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Its activities span passenger vehicles, two-wheeled mobility and Level 4 (L4) autonomous logistics vehicles.

The HCT Orbis platform extends the company’s intelligent driving expertise into the two-wheeler segment, where rider protection presents particular challenges.

During EICMA’s opening day, neueHCT CEO Stone Li spoke to Italian automotive and technology publication HD Motori about the system’s technical capabilities, its adaptation to different markets and the wider development of intelligent motorcycle technology.

Li highlighted the vulnerability of motorcyclists compared with occupants of enclosed vehicles.

“When you ride a bike, you are exposed and far more vulnerable than a driver inside a vehicle,” Li said. He explained that the company’s technology is intended to help prevent traffic accidents that can cause particularly serious injuries to two-wheeler users.

Adaptive cruise control and environmental perception among key features

The HCT Orbis demonstration focused on several rider assistance capabilities.

These include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): A system designed to assist with maintaining an appropriate following distance and speed relative to traffic ahead.
• Environmental perception: Technology that detects and interprets surrounding road conditions and other road users.
• Risk warnings: Functions intended to alert riders to potential traffic hazards.
• Active safety: Features designed to help reduce accident risks through assistance and intervention.

Together, these capabilities illustrate neueHCT’s approach to bringing intelligent driving technologies into motorcycle applications.

The company presented the system as part of its wider effort to develop integrated safety solutions for two-wheel mobility.

neueHCT reports more than 16 OEM customers worldwide

neueHCT says it has worked with more than 16 OEM customers globally, including Chery, Volkswagen and Dongfeng Nissan. Its awarded projects cover more than 70 vehicle models, with overseas programmes accounting for over 50% of the total.

The company also reports substantial experience in vehicle testing and simulation. According to neueHCT, its development programmes have accumulated millions of kilometres of real-world driving tests across different markets and more than 10 billion kilometres of simulation testing.

These figures reflect the company’s stated testing and project experience across its intelligent driving activities. The announcement does not separately specify how much of this experience relates directly to motorcycle applications or the HCT Orbis platform.

Europe becomes a strategic market for neueHCT

Europe occupies an important position in neueHCT’s international expansion strategy, particularly given the region’s established motorcycle industry and riding culture.

The company says its passenger vehicle technologies have undergone validation in several European cities, including Memmingen, Munich, Frankfurt and Paris. It intends to draw on this experience when adapting its two-wheeler solutions to European operating conditions and market requirements.

neueHCT also reports that it is engaging with European motorcycle manufacturers as it explores opportunities for its rider assistance technology.

The company states that its products meet the requirements of E-NCAP and the European Union’s General Safety Regulation II (GSR II). These regulatory and safety frameworks are relevant to vehicle safety requirements in Europe, although the announcement does not specify which particular products, functions or certification assessments are covered by this statement.

To support its international activities, neueHCT has also established a research and development centre in Germany. The facility is intended to assist with product development and deployment across global markets.

neueHCT plans further partnerships with European motorcycle manufacturers

Following its EICMA 2026 presentation, neueHCT says it plans to strengthen cooperation with European and international OEMs and other industry partners.

Its stated priorities include delivering intelligent riding assistance technologies that can be adapted to regional regulatory requirements and market conditions.

The HCT Orbis showcase reflects the growing interest in extending driver assistance concepts beyond passenger cars and into the two-wheeler sector. For neueHCT, building relationships with motorcycle manufacturers and adapting its technology to different markets will be important as it seeks to expand its presence in intelligent two-wheel mobility.

The company’s longer-term objective is to contribute to safer and more intelligent motorcycle transportation through the development and deployment of advanced rider assistance solutions.
