Yu Chengdong: it is not that Huawei and BAIC no longer cooperate, but upgrade from HI model to smart selection model.
CTOnews.com April 16 news, in today's 2023 Huawei smart car solution launch, Huawei smart car solution BU CEO Yu Chengdong delivered a speech to clarify the previous misstatement.
At the previous "China Electric vehicle 100 people Forum 2023", Yu Chengdong said, "using the HI model, there are three manufacturers (BAIC Polar Fox, GAC Ean, Changan Avita) to cooperate with us, and now there is basically only one left, only Avita in Changan." Yu Chengdong said at the time that in addition to GAC's withdrawal from the HI model, the cooperation with BAIC Jihu also encountered problems, and its "product competitiveness has some problems in the market."
At this press conference, Yu Chengdong specifically said, "there was a mistake in the previous statement, and BAIC colleagues had a lot of opinions." He said that Huawei and BAIC Jihu are no longer uncooperative, but have upgraded to a smart selection model.
According to CTOnews.com, Huawei currently participates in three modes of car construction, namely, traditional parts supplier, Huawei Inside and smart car model. Judging from the depth of Huawei's involvement in car building, the three are progressing in turn. From a model point of view, the Huaiwei Inside model is a light asset operation, selling Huawei's full-stack smart car solutions to car companies with strong technical strength. Smart car selection model, through more in-depth cooperation with car companies in the field of car construction, fully participates in product definition, styling design, marketing, user experience and other links.
