Sept 8 (Reuters) - Chinese autonomous driving solutions

maker QCraft said on Monday that it will open its European

headquarters in Germany and is partnering with U.S. chip company

Qualcomm ( QCOM ).

"These milestones mark QCraft's official entry into the EU

and global markets," the company said in a statement.

The announcement, made at the IAA Mobility 2025, comes

after Qualcomm ( QCOM ) last Friday said it launched an automated driving

system with German automaker BMW.

Beijing-based QCraft, which makes partially automated and

highly automated driving solutions, including the company's NOA

(Navigate on Autopilot), already works with NVIDIA ( NVDA ) and Horizon

Robotics ( HRZRF ) chipsets.

Delivery of QCraft's full-stack solutions in Europe, the

U.S., Japan and South Korea are now expected to begin in 2026,

the company said.
