Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, terminal BG CEO and chairman of smart car solution BU, revealed the latest development of the smart S7 cooperation between Huawei and Chery: the launch and mass production of the intelligent S7 was delayed by lack of chips and factory relocation, and is expected to return to normal from April.

As we all know, Zhijie is an automobile brand jointly built by Huawei and Chery, which belongs to the brand of Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing. In addition to Chery, Huawei also cooperates with Cyrus, BAIC and Jianghuai to create a "boundary" brand, in which the brand cooperating with Selis is "asking the boundary" and the brand cooperating with BAIC is "sharing the world". A few days ago, the first model of Hengjie, the Hengjie S9, has been declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with a price of about 500000 yuan. in terms of power, it offers single-motor and dual-motor versions, which is expected to be released at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show and go on sale in the second quarter. In addition, Yu Chengdong also said at the scene that the price of models in cooperation with Jianghuai will reach the level of one million. "Huawei has limited resources and currently only builds products of these four brands," Yu said. "

At present, there are four car brands related to Hongmeng implementation, among which the Mengjie brand created in cooperation with Selis is the main sales responsibility. Since 2024, MJ has topped the list of new power sales with 58100 vehicles, of which the best-selling model is the M7, which accounts for 51100 vehicles, accounting for 88%.

It is worth mentioning that BU, the smart car solution, has been losing money since its inception. In the first half of 2023, Huawei reported that the fifth-largest segment, the car BU business, had revenue of 1 billion yuan (about 0.3 per cent of total revenue), making it the only lossmaking sector. Yu Chengdong said that due to the big sales of mid-and high-end models created by partners, which can achieve our goal of turning losses into profits this year, Huawei's smart car selection business has completed a turnaround in the first three months of this year, and the car BU is close to the edge of break-even. It is expected that it should be able to turn losses into profits and achieve benign positive development from April.

While the smart car model is speeding up, the new joint venture between Huawei and Changan is also actively opening its shares to other main engine factories.
