AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/15 Report--

On April 14, it was reported that Huawei's smart car cooperation with Jianghuai Automobile will target the ultra-high-end luxury pure electricity market, with a price range of about 800000-1 million yuan, and delivery is expected next year. Jianghuai is interested in learning from Huawei's engineering development system, so it has opened up more flexible cooperation space to Huawei, the report said. People familiar with the matter said: "in this cooperation, Jianghuai attitude is quite positive, and take the initiative to learn from Huawei's management model, even vehicle development is carried out in accordance with the IPD process." This time, including vehicle research and development, electronic and electrical architecture, three power, Huawei will also participate in some. "

Up to now, Jianghuai Automobile has not responded to the cooperation.

On March 31st, Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei issued an internal announcement once again emphasizing that "Huawei does not build cars" and extending the validity period by five years, that is, Huawei's partnership with JAC Motors will continue to help car companies build good cars just like Huawei's cooperation with other car companies.

If the above news is true, it means that Huawei will use Jianghuai smart cars to hit the million-yuan super-high-end car market. Previously, Yu Chengdong said that Huawei mainly makes middle and high-end products and will not involve the market below 200000 price, because the input is high and the cost can not come down, and cars under 200000 will lose money. Judging from this news, the price of ultra-high-end cars built by Huawei and Jianghuai has reached the level of 800000-1 million yuan. In this market segment, whether it is fuel cars or pure trams, there are still relatively few models whose domestic prices can reach 600000. In the ultra-high-end pure electricity market, the main players are only Porsche, Lutes and other foreign brands, and only Gaohe's products are in this price range. But it's just getting started. Market analysts, in a survey of million-yuan car owners, a considerable number of car owners use Huawei mobile phones.

It is understood that the new project between Huawei and Jianghuai is located in the Jianghuai Xingang Industrial Park in Feixi County, with a total investment of about 2.6 billion yuan. The factory is expected to be completed early next year. According to the official website of China Construction Group on February 16, the consortium of the sixth Bureau of China Construction won the bid for the EPC project of Anhui Feixi New Energy Automobile Intelligent Industrial Park, with a winning bid of about 1.544 billion yuan. The project is located in Jianghuai Xingang Industrial Park, South Xingang District, Feixi County, with a total construction area of about 510000 square meters. The main construction contents include punching and welding joint workshop, painting workshop, final assembly workshop, office space, restaurant and related public auxiliary facilities. China Construction Group announced that the project is a key project in Hefei and will be used by Huawei and Jiangqi Group to jointly develop a new generation of high-end smart electric vehicles in Hefei.

The above news is believed by the industry to disclose in advance the plan of Jianghuai Automobile Group (Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd.) and Huawei to build a joint car. However, the above announcements can no longer be seen on the official website of China Construction Group.

Just two days before the news was announced, Jianghuai Group successively released the bidding results of the large synchronous stamping line in the stamping workshop of the Jianghuai Xingang construction project with an annual production capacity of 300000 medium-and high-end intelligent new energy passenger vehicles, and issued tender announcements for the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning, training and after-sales service of the painting process equipment for the Jianghuai Xingang construction project of 300000 medium-and high-end intelligent new energy passenger vehicles. According to the "bidding documents", after the completion of the EPC project of Feixi New Energy vehicle Intelligent Industrial Park, the production model level will be B-D +, which can adapt to the common platform development of Sedan (sedan), SUV, MPV, Crossover, Sporty and other models, and reach an annual production capacity of 300000 new energy passenger vehicles.

Earlier, the relevant person in charge of Jiangqi Group revealed in an interview that the manufacturing base of Jiangqi Group's cooperation with Huawei is under construction, and the production model will be undertaken by a new brand. This new brand will fall under the Jianghuai passenger car plate, and Jianghuai Yttrium, a new energy passenger car brand launched a few days ago, has nothing to do with it.

On April 12, the new brand of Jiangqi Group was officially released. The new brand is named "Jianghuai Yttrium", and its products focus on models with a price range of 7-150000 yuan. Prior to this, Jianghuai Automobile plans to unite with Anqing New Energy Investment and Development Co., Ltd., Anqing Kaiwu Management Consulting Partnership (limited partnership), and five strategic investors. The new company has a registered capital of 1 billion yuan, and JAC Automobile is the actual controller with its own capital contribution of 400 million yuan, accounting for 40%. According to the previous announcement, YWE will strive to achieve the annual sales target of 300000 vehicles within 5 years, with sales revenue exceeding 40 billion yuan, and maintain the first camp of domestic mainstream independent brands pure electric.

Jianghuai Yttrium is officially confirmed that its first model, "Yttrium 3", will be unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show and open blind booking at the same time. The new car will be positioned as a pure electric small car, which will offer 305km, 405km and 505km3 mileage options, and will compete with similar models such as Ola good Cat and BYD Dolphin after launch.

In addition, after the launch of the Jianghuai Yttrium brand, the original Sihao brand will no longer be used, and the existing new energy models of the Sihao brand will be integrated into the new brand, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. At present, Jiangqi Group has released a new "JAC" brand logo and brand strategy for passenger cars. Xiang Xingchu, secretary of the party committee, chairman and general manager of Jiangqi Group holding Company, said that the release of the new brand logo indicates that Jiangqi Group has officially entered an era of "no intelligence, no car building". As for Jiangqi Group's joint car building with Huawei, it is regarded by the outside world as the advance layout for Jiangqi Group to implement the new brand strategy. According to the plan, Jiangqi Group will invest more than 12 billion yuan in R & D in the field of intelligent technology in the next five years, with an average annual investment of about 2 billion yuan.
