AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/19 Report--

Although Huawei has been refuting rumors that it does not build cars, it is actively trying to find its way into the smart car industry of the future. According to employees inside Huawei, Huawei's flagship store will start selling cars on April 20, and Yu Chengdong will personally host a mysterious meeting on Huawei's car sales today, according to the Financial Associated Press. Affected by this, as the new car directly under the company well-off shares rose at the beginning of trading.

According to Huawei's official Weibo today, the first car Huawei announced to sell this time is the Selis Huawei Smart SF5, positioning a high-performance electric drive coupe SUV, which can achieve a range of 180km (NEDC) for daily commuting in the city, and a maximum range of 1000km (NEDC). It is reported that the Cyrus Huawei Smart SF5 has been put on Huawei's official website with a starting price of 216800, and the new car is expected to be delivered in May.

The car may be a stranger to everyone, but it has been on the market for a long time. Data show that in July 2016, Rich Motor, a first-tier subsidiary of Xiaokang, transferred a 100% stake in Dongkang New Energy, renamed Chongqing Jinkang New Energy vehicle Co., Ltd., and launched a 2.5 billion yuan pure electric passenger vehicle construction project. And its Jinkang Selis SF5 is its first model, an add-on SUV, with a subsidised official guidance price of 24.9-339000 yuan.

As a new energy brand owned by Dongfeng Xiaokang, it claims to gather global technical resources and set up a research and development center in the United States, but it has launched only one power model with added programs. Also because of its high price positioning and poor product power, it is difficult for most consumers to accept, resulting in the brand has not been known, sales are even less.

Until March 9 this year, Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group Co., Ltd. held a cooperation memorandum signing ceremony in Shenzhen, and the two sides discussed cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles. As a result, Xiaokang shares formally reached cooperation with Huawei.

Although the car is not built by Huawei, its electric drive, engine and audio system are all provided by Huawei. In terms of Smart Internet, the car is equipped with Huawei HUAWEI DriveONE electric drive system, HUAWEI HiCar, HUAWEI Sound audio technology.

According to official sources, the car was officially launched today by Huawei. In addition to this source, Wang Jun, president of Huawei's smart car solution BU, once said in response to media questions: "We do not rule out selling cars in Huawei's stores."

Affected by this, well-off shares rose by the limit at the beginning of trading today. Not only that, but the share prices of all car companies close to Huawei have risen by the daily limit. For example, last week, Huawei released its first Jihu Alpha S model with Huawei's self-driving system. As a result, BAIC Langu has risen by the limit for two times in a row because it is owned by BAIC. In addition, GAC GROUP and Changan Motor, two other car companies that cooperate with Huawei, have also achieved a rise in share prices, so it is conceivable that Huawei, which is not listed on the stock market, has a great influence on an industry.

It has to be said that with the continuous development of automotive science and technology, the wave of the "new four modernizations" represented by electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing has gradually become a major trend of the whole automobile industry.

As at the launch site last night, the head of Huawei's smart driving product line shared the different ideas between Huawei and traditional car companies: "traditional automakers tend to think that cars are the main body of the future, and there are some single points of computers on it." The future automobile is based on computers, and cars are computer-controlled peripherals (car computerization). " Perhaps in Huawei's view, although Huawei does not build cars, it also dominates the auto industry.
