ASTRAUX is a technology company that produces a light electric vehicle and an AI-enabled companion device called Aimon.[2] The company was founded in 2025 by Su Jing, the former chief executive of Xingji Meizu Group, and publicly launched its products at IFA Berlin in September 2025.[2][3]

History

edit

ASTRAUX was founded by Su Jing along with co-founders Liu Yi and Chen Siying.[4] Su previously served as chief executive of Xingji Meizu Group, which was formed after Xingji Shidai, a company she co-founded in 2022 alongside Geely chairman Li Shufu, acquired a controlling stake in Meizu Technology.[5]

The company introduced its first products, a micro electric vehicle and the Aimon companion device, at IFA Berlin in September 2025.[2] Italian trade press reported on the vehicle's European debut, noting its L6e/L7e vehicle classification.[6] In March 2026, ASTRAUX announced its electric vehicle had received Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) certification from Sweden's vehicle approval authority, permitting road use across EU member states.[7]
