Huawei has partnered with the Seres automotive brand. Below are relevant details about Seres: Seres: Fully named 'Jinkang Seres,' it is the mid-to-high-end new energy vehicle brand under 'Jinkang New Energy,' a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sokon Group. As a new energy vehicle manufacturer with a traditional automotive background, Jinkang Seres was established in Silicon Valley, USA, in 2016. Through continuous development, the brand now possesses mature vehicle manufacturing technologies. Range: As a new energy vehicle, range capability is a primary concern. The Seres Huawei Selection SF5 adopts the HUAWEI-DriveONE integrated electric drive system, achieving a pure electric NEDC range of 180 kilometers under full charge. With the support of the Hump Intelligent Range Extender System, this range-extended electric vehicle can achieve a comprehensive range of over 1,000 kilometers.

Huawei has collaborations with several brands in the automotive sector, but the most in-depth partnership is with Seres to co-create the AITO series. Models like the AITO M5 and M7 directly incorporate Huawei's HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit and motor technology, with even taking place in Huawei stores. Additionally, Huawei's collaboration with BAIC on the Arcfox Alpha S is quite impressive, featuring Huawei's HI advanced autonomous driving solution, which is truly cutting-edge. The Avatr 11, under Changan's umbrella, is another significant product of the Huawei Inside model, with core intelligent driving components fully supported by Huawei. Based on my research, brands like GAC Aion plan to adopt Huawei technology in their new models by 2024, and collaborations with Chery and JAC are also underway. These brands choose Huawei for its comprehensive solution capabilities, ranging from lidar to in-vehicle systems. Huawei is clearly making substantial investments in the smart vehicle sector.

Among Huawei's automotive partners, AITO is undoubtedly the most favored one. Having used my AITO M7 for over a year, I'm thoroughly impressed by the seamless connectivity between the HarmonyOS car system and Huawei smartphones – switching navigation to the car display doesn't even require re-searching destinations. I also test-drove the BAIC ARCFOX Alpha S HI version, and its urban NCA autonomous driving is remarkably stable, with red-light automatic braking responding faster than human reflexes. The Avatr 11's HarmonyOS cockpit matches AITO's smoothness, though at a higher price point. Recently, news broke about the upcoming Luxeed S7 co-developed by Huawei and Chery, featuring the same lidar solution as AITO. Actually, Huawei initially supplied motors for the Seres SF5, but now increasingly focuses on complete vehicle intelligence. Huawei's technological standards might well become the new normal for NEVs in the future.

Huawei has a broad layout in the automotive sector, with core partner brands including AITO (Seres), Arcfox (BAIC), and Avatr (). AITO adopts Huawei's Smart Selection model, with Huawei deeply involved in R&D; Arcfox and Avatr follow the Huawei Inside model, equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving system. Additionally, Huawei provides BYD with the MDC computing platform and supplies LiDAR to GAC. Recently, new models from Chery and JAC are also collaborating with Huawei, with the Zhijie series set to launch next year. Huawei's Intelligent Automotive Solution BU primarily supplies three-electric systems, smart cockpits, and autonomous driving technologies. This cooperation model enables traditional automakers to rapidly achieve intelligent transformation.

The AITO series, a collaboration between Huawei and Seres, has already become a hot seller, but many people are unaware that Huawei's in-car system has also been applied in the Deepal SL03 and GAC AION LX. Last year, during a test drive of the Arcfox Alpha S, the Huawei Advanced Driving Assistance System performed impressively stable with automatic lane changes on the highway. Currently, the most anticipated model is the Huawei and Chery co-developed Zhijie S7, which is rumored to feature the same 192-line LiDAR as the AITO series. Additionally, the MPV that JAC is set to launch has officially announced the use of Huawei's intelligent driving solution. In fact, Huawei's collaborations in the automotive sector are divided into three tiers: deep integration like the AITO series as a 'Smart Selection' model, technology output in the HI mode such as with Arcfox, and component supply to companies like BYD. Huawei's technological penetration in the smart vehicle field is broader than many imagine.

Last year, our family switched to the AITO M5, and Huawei's range-extender system is both fuel-efficient and quiet, but the bigger surprise was Huawei's in-car ecosystem. Recently, while researching vehicle configurations, I discovered that the BAIC Arcfox Alpha S comes with a full suite of Huawei's LiDAR solution, and the Avatr 11's HarmonyOS cockpit interaction logic is identical to that of the AITO. According to Huawei store personnel, next year's Luxeed S7 will feature a new-generation 800V high-voltage platform, doubling the charging speed compared to current models. In fact, even some Great Wall models' 5G communication modules and GAC's battery management chips are supplied by Huawei. These collaborations demonstrate Huawei's comprehensive layout from three-electric systems to intelligent driving, with different brands selecting Huawei's technology modules based on their needs. When buying a new energy vehicle, remember to check if it comes with Huawei's technological support.
