Changan Automobile has taken a solid step on the road of intelligent transformation and selected Huawei's HI mode as the intelligent driving solution for AVATAR. For this important decision, Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, expressed firm support. He believes that Huawei's HI mode will inject powerful intelligent power into AVATAR, bring users a better driving experience, and further enhance Changan Automobile's competitiveness in the field of smart cars.
At the 2024 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong said that the reason why AVATR chose the HI model is to protect the fundamental interests of users, and at the same time, Huawei's HI model is more in line with industry laws and policy requirements. Specifically, under the HI model, car companies and Huawei have a clear division of labor, in which car companies are responsible for producing cars and Huawei is responsible for making them intelligent, and each of them gives full play to their own advantages to create intelligent models that are more in line with market demand and user needs, and it is easier to succeed after being put on the market.
For example, AVATR is a product of the CHN model jointly created by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL, and has received good market feedback since its launch, and its models are in the process of orderly delivery. For example, in December last year, AVATR 11 delivered 4,102 units, a positive month-on-month growth for six consecutive months; AVATR 12 was delivered rapidly, with 2,004 units delivered in 20 days, with considerable results and continued to meet user expectations.
Zhu Huarong said that under Huawei's HI model, car companies and Huawei can complement each other's advantages, form the best interests, and promote the upgrading of car quality and the increase in sales. Under Huawei's smart selection model, users will think that the car is made by Huawei, because the press conference and sales channels will be related to Huawei, but in terms of after-sales service, it may involve OEM companies and other partners, and the division of rights and responsibilities is relatively chaotic, making it difficult to ensure the user's after-sales experience. For example, the recent decline in sales of the Wenjie brand can see the disadvantages of Huawei's smart selection model.
A few days ago, AVATR announced the use data of intelligent driving, with an intelligent driving mileage of 35 million kilometers, accounting for 23% of the total mileage, ranking first in the industry; The intelligent parking assist has been called 3.7 million times in total, which is widely welcomed by users. In addition, AVATR became one of the first companies to be approved for conditional autonomous driving (Level 3) test license on high-speed roads, steadily entering the era of "autonomous driving".
In the tide of intelligence, Changan Automobile and Huawei have joined forces to jointly build the "newcool" joint venture, which will become a technology leader in intelligent driving and other fields. Chairman Zhu Huarong's vision is to first apply these cutting-edge technologies to AVATR and bring users a revolutionary travel experience. We look forward to the leadership of Zhu Huarong and the continuous breakthrough of Changan Automobile and the cooperation with excellent partners such as Huawei to create a new era of intelligent mobility."
