The deal was signed at a ceremony in the presence of Wang Wensong, the deputy-Mayor of the city of Hefei, the head of Israel’s Economic and Trade Mission to East China, Einat Lev Rot and other government officials.
Eyesight Technologies’ EVP Global sales, Avi Rosenfeld, said “We’re excited to be deepening our commitment to the Chinese automotive market with this new strategic partnership and look forward to working with HZAT to keep drivers and passengers safer and more comfortable.”
