JAKARTA - Chinese home appliance manufacturer Dreame Technology has begun to show its seriousness in entering the automotive industry. The company announced a collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) based vehicle.
Reported by Carnewschina, Friday, April 24, Dreame itself is known as a manufacturer of household appliances founded by Yu Hao. Last year, the company began to make aggressive expansion into the automotive sector by presenting three concept lines, namely Kosmera, Star Motor, and Nebula.
In terms of design, a number of models feature styles inspired by premium brands such as Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, and M-Hero. On April 23, Dreame confirmed a research collaboration with UC Berkeley, a prestigious campus that has been around since 1868.
This collaboration is aimed at accelerating the development of AI-based autonomous control systems. The company targets the creation of artificial intelligence technology that is capable of controlling vehicles comprehensively, from environmental perception, decision-making, to chassis operation and drive systems.
In its development, Dreame is focusing on continuous learning systems, multi-agent architectures, and advanced computing platforms. They have also held technical discussion sessions with engineers and researchers from Berkeley focusing on AI and smart mobility.
The visit is claimed to strengthen the development of Nebula Next through in-depth technical collaboration. The company also plans to showcase its latest developments at an event in Silicon Valley on April 27, which is said to feature its core technology and new products.
The Nebula Next brand itself is focused on high-performance electric vehicles. The 01 concept model was first introduced at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show with four electric motors that produce up to 1,903 hp.
This sedan is claimed to be able to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 1.8 seconds, supported by torque rigidity of more than 45,000 Nm/degree and an air resistance coefficient of 0.185 Cd. Not only that, on March 12 Dreame also introduced a crossover version, namely Nebula Next 01X.
This model is equipped with an electromagnetic suspension, an optional drive system with additional range, two chips with computing capabilities of up to 2,000 TOPS, as well as mechanical electric braking technology (EMB). Mass production is targeted to start in 2027.
On the other hand, Dreame also introduced a solid-state battery called Starry Sky Crystal Core Power with a cell capacity of 60 Ah. The company says limited distribution will begin this year. The battery is claimed to have an energy density of over 450 Wh/kg with a package efficiency of 85 percent.
In addition, charging from 30 to 80 percent only takes about 10 minutes. Although, the record is still slower than the latest technology from BYD, Geely, and CATL.
