Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Satomi Ishihara for happy clue delivery! (Update: According to Kechuang Board Daily, Huawei responded to rumors that Huawei's BU will be independent and seek cooperation with Chongqing SASAC, saying that "online rumors do not match the facts, Huawei has not negotiated with Chongqing SASAC on matters related to BU.")

CTOnews.com August 11 news, according to the domestic media @HiEV garlic grain car research institute exclusive report said, a number of information sources close to Huawei indicated that Huawei intends to promote the independent operation of car BU (CTOnews.com note: Business Unit, Business Unit/Business Unit), is currently in close contact with Chongqing SASAC cooperation matters.

It's like a solo glory ride.

It is reported that after independence, BU will probably become a new Tier 1 (Tier 1 supplier) giant. At the same time, Huawei will also take back years of R & D and investment in BU. With the gradual recovery of mobile phone core supply chain, consumer business BG will make more efforts to the main channel (consumer goods such as mobile phones). As a new Tier 1, BU will have the following characteristics after independence:

It can still be used as a core supplier to provide parts to Huawei intelligent vehicles;

And can take advantage of Chongqing's geographical advantages, and Chang 'an, Selis and other automobile enterprises to deepen cooperation;

The new entity also means that the BU is expected to lift some supply chain bans and acquire some important chip resources to provide more competitive products.

Yu Chengdong has repeatedly mentioned in public that more than 70% of the investment in BU is related to intelligent driving. In Huawei's annual report, the smart car business mentioned includes smart cockpit, smart driving, smart electric, smart car cloud, millimeter wave radar, camera, gateway, lidar, computing platform, AR HUD, T-Box and other products and solutions.
