On October 23, the global ceremony for the 8th Gasgoo Awards 2026, hosted by Gasgoo under the theme of “China solutions,” concluded successfully. At this event that drew widespread attention from the global automotive industry, IAT stood out among a strong field of companies with its independently developed AeroMind Intelligent Drag Prediction System, winning the “2026 Gasgoo Most Growth Value Award.” The accolade highlights IAT’s comprehensive capabilities from technical breakthroughs to commercial product deployment in AI-driven automotive R&D.

Under the theme “China Solutions, Global Value,” this year’s Gasgoo Awards focused on key areas including automotive software and artificial intelligence, seeking to identify innovators with sustained growth potential and the ability to bring fresh momentum to the automotive industry. IAT’s award reflects the judging panel’s strong endorsement of the company’s technological innovation, commercialization capabilities, and potential for global expansion at the intersection of AI and automotive engineering.

AeroMind Makes its Mark on Reshaping Aerodynamic R&D

AeroMind, winner of the “Most Growth Value Award,” is an AI-powered prediction platform developed by IAT specifically for automotive styling and aerodynamic R&D. Traditionally, automakers have relied heavily on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess aerodynamic drag, with a single round of simulation typically taking six to ten hours. 

This has significantly slowed design iterations during the early styling stages. AeroMind breaks through this efficiency bottleneck, transforming aerodynamic drag assessment from reactive validation step late in development to proactive collaborative process at the early stages of design.

To improve R&D efficiency, AeroMind provides a complete closed-loop workflow encompassing parametric design, styling generation, 3D modeling, drag prediction, and results analysis. Designers simply enter key parameters, and the system can instantly predict the drag coefficient. It can also work backward from a target drag coefficient to generate a 2D profile and then automatically produces renderings that can be converted into a 3D vehicle model with just a single click. 

As the model is generated, drag predictions and vehicle surface pressure contours are delivered simultaneously, enabling designers to assess aerodynamic performance while the design is still taking shape.

Behind this seamless experience are powerful AI computing capabilities. Drawing on more than 40,000 sets of real-world automotive aerodynamic data, AeroMind has achieved impressive results in testing: the drag prediction time that previously stretched to half a day has been reduced to just one to three minutes, while the drag coefficient (Cd) prediction accuracy for individual vehicle models exceeds 97%. 

For design optimizations involving drag differences greater than three counts, AeroMind’s predicted trends agree with CFD simulations in 95% of cases, which substantially reduces R&D costs.

Rooted in China and Going Global: Unlocking Growth Potential

The Gasgoo Awards define “China Solutions” as technologies and products developed in the Chinese market, validated by China’s automotive industry, and endowed with potential for worldwide replication. AeroMind emerged from the thriving intelligent and electric vehicle industry in China and has been validated across a wide range of complex and diverse application scenarios. 

Looking ahead, IAT will continue to enhance the system’s versatility and adaptability to meet the requirements of different market standards and vehicle platforms worldwide, so as to deliver a replicable, deployable, and sustainable global value.

The “2026 Gasgoo Most Growth Value Award” not only recognizes IAT’s achievements to date but also reflects the industry’s expectations for its future development. As Chinese solutions reach global markets, IAT will continue to advance AI technologies tailored to the automotive sector. 

Guided by a commitment to openness and collaboration, the company will work with partners across the automotive value chain and make use of innovative products such as AeroMind to help automakers worldwide reduce costs and improve efficiency, so as to make AI technologies from China a powerful driving force of transformation and upgrading in the global automotive industry.
