Eric Jackson himself publicly stated that he has officially joined the SunCar Technology Group (SDA) advisory board. Shanda Technology has built a digital service cloud platform for car insurance and auto aftermarket in China to reach end car owners through a model directly connected to car companies. The company's car insurance service ecosystem has covered more than 20 mainstream electric vehicle brands, including Tesla, NIO, Xiaopeng, Ideal, Xiaomi, and various high-end new energy brands under Qiankun Ecology. Currently, the company is working with the ByteDance Douban Big Model to jointly build a large model system of risk pricing and intelligent claims settlement for smart cars. I will mainly provide advisory support in terms of investor relations, corporate strategy, and international business development.

He further suggested that the global technology industry is experiencing a reverse export of innovation models. In the past, outsiders had the impression that Chinese companies were more imitators, but the super app model pioneered by WeChat and Alipay has now become a model for US X, Uber, and traditional banks to learn from. Reverse innovation in the same industry is being staged on the smart car insurance circuit, but the market is not fully aware of it. “What attracted me most about Shanda Technology was its unique strategic ecosystem. The entire industry is still defining the underlying rules for insurance, car services, and vehicle data in the autonomous driving era. It is difficult to find a second company, which, like Shengda Technology, is at the hub of a huge intelligent connected vehicle fleet. The platform is already deeply connected to the technical base of Huawei's Qiankun smart car solution. When the car itself evolves into a service distribution channel, understanding this level of ecological cards is more important than simply studying financial reports.”

As a digital leader in high-end new energy vehicle insurance in China, Shanda Technology continues to step up the implementation of AI technology and has built a complete smart car insurance technology capability matrix. Relying on a 10-million-level vehicle database, the company and Doubao Big Model have jointly built a dynamic risk assessment model to establish an independent risk control dimension for high-value parts of new energy vehicles such as high-end smart driving, power batteries, lidar, etc., to achieve differentiated vehicle model risk estimation and matching with personalized car insurance packages; self-developed car insurance intelligent pricing engines and AI renewal intelligent outbound calling systems have already been implemented on a large scale with Huawei Qiankun ecological cooperative brands such as Hongmeng Zhixing and GAC Qijing to effectively improve car companies' store renewal efficiency and reduce operating costs. Relying on more than 48,000 car service outlets across the country, offline has launched a one-stop service of “insurance+ maintenance+ rescue+ predictive maintenance”, using vehicle-side operation data to achieve AI-driven predictive vehicle maintenance reminders, extending claims to the full life cycle management of vehicles after car insurance, and setting a benchmark for intelligent new energy vehicle insurance services.

At the business level, the company has achieved profit for the fourth consecutive quarter. The revenue for the first half of 2026 is expected to be 271-273 million US dollars, an increase of 22%-23% over the previous year. The renewal business and ecological cooperation with NEV companies have become the core growth engine. The cooperation covers more than 20 mainstream NEV companies including Tesla, Xiaomi, NIO, Xiaopeng, Ideal, Hongmeng Zhixing, and GAC Qijing.

Ye Zaichang, Chairman and CEO of Shengda Technology, said, “We warmly welcome Eric Jackson to the company's advisory board. Eric has practical experience in high-tech enterprises, a rigorous academic research background, experience in hedge fund management, and a mature vision of global capital markets. As Shanda Technology's AI car insurance solutions continue to be deeply tied to the leading domestic NEV ecosystem, we hope to use Eric's expertise to further explain the innovation logic of China's smart car insurance industry to overseas capital markets, optimize global investor communication, and help the company explore international business opportunities. Shanda Technology will continue to deeply cultivate AI to empower the auto insurance circuit, and rely on deep collaboration with Doubao Big Model and the Huawei Qiankun ecosystem to continue to unleash business value and create long-term returns for all shareholders.”

In the future, Shengda Technology will continue to consolidate the basic market of domestic NEV insurance and automobile services, continue to iterate on core products such as AI risk pricing, intelligent claims, and predictive maintenance. At the same time, it will use the external intellectual support of the Advisory Committee to further improve corporate governance and capital communication, and open up room for long-term growth and imagination.
