The orders for M7 and M9 are close to 200,000, but car companies choose not to cooperate with Huawei.
Xu Zhijun said that he has met with the CEOs of many domestic car companies, but what they mean is that Huawei cannot be an automaker, but Bosch for new energy vehicles.
After Huawei entered the automotive industry, it has successively developed technologies such as three electrics, lidar, intelligent cockpit, and unmanned driving, and Ren Zhengfei has also promised Huawei not to build cars within 5 years, and will launch HI series products to provide a complete set of solutions to enterprises.
However, Huawei should currently own BAIC and Changan, and the HI model signed by Lantu may also become the HI version.
However, BAIC's Alpha Polar Fox did not sell well, and Changan's Aiweiou's sales were not as expected, which also caused huge losses, and Changan's chairman made a public sarcasm of Yu Chengdong.
After Huawei Zhixuan and Chery jointly released the "Zhixuan S7", there was a great demand for sales, but it was very difficult to distribute, so accurate sales data was not released.
Yu Minhong said that BAIC and JAC will also jointly build these two borders in the future.
However, Huawei rarely cooperates with Huawei in terms of "smart cockpit" and "intelligent driving", which it is good at.
This is mainly due to the characteristics of new energy vehicles and Huawei's lack of a thorough foothold in the automotive industry.
First of all, since the core technology of new energy vehicles is "smart cockpit" and "intelligent driving", major manufacturers have chosen to develop their own.
The reason is that new energy vehicles can be said to be electric vehicles, because electric vehicles themselves are a kind of motor vehicles, and the barriers to entry are relatively low.
There are suppliers of batteries, motors, etc. Without the separate development of intelligent cockpits and autonomous driving systems, they would become complete assembly products.
The engine, gearbox and chassis are the three important components of fuel vehicles, and their manufacturers are also developing them themselves. Therefore, for new energy vehicles, manufacturers are more inclined to invest in the development of their own corresponding systems, such as NVIDIA or Qualcomm.
In addition, the "smart cockpit" also stores a large amount of data that many car manufacturers are reluctant to hand over. Apple's CarPlay wants to be more integrated into the car, and those sensitive manufacturers will stop supporting Apple's CarPlay system.
Second, Yu Chengdong's claim that only Huawei's automotive division is losing money further confirms that Huawei has not really gained a foothold in the automotive industry.
Even if the AskWorldM7 and M9 are hugely successful, it cannot be said that Huawei is a big winner in the automotive field.
Because both the AskM7 and Askm8 are based on the extended version, the all-electric version has not sold well.
In the field of pure electric vehicles, only a few companies such as Tesla and BYD have been successful, but both companies have mastered the core technology of independent research and development, of which BYD has monopolized the entire industrial chain.
If Huawei cannot succeed in the all-electric vehicle market, it will be difficult for it to become a "Bosch" in the new energy vehicle market.
The problem is that Huawei will no longer make vehicles for 5 years. "Huawei Choice"It is also the first of its kind by Huawei, including the entire sales process, including the production specifications of the product, which Huawei has the final say.
Because of Huawei's behavior of "being both a referee and an athlete", other first-class companies will not rashly use Huawei's technology.
Finally, there is also the influence of "foreign goods", that is, foreign companies have advanced technology, not Huawei, such as "National Ideal" has officially announced that it will use NVIDIA's "intelligent driving" platform.
However, Huang has publicly declared that Huawei is a strong contender in AI chip manufacturing.
In addition, Huawei also released the industry's first 192-line low- and medium-range lidar, and Huawei is expected to achieve a leading position in intelligent driving assistance systems in China.
