It is reported that Huawei, which does not build cars, has already established a car BU, focusing on ICT technology to help car companies build good cars. Recently, it has joined forces with Changan Automobile and CATL to build a new high-end smart car brand. But the strange thing is, why does Huawei integrate its automobile business with its mobile phone business, or is it led by Yu Chengdong?
First of all, Huawei's automotive ICT technical solutions are still based on in-vehicle 5G, Hongmeng operating system and other technologies, which are applied to scenarios such as smart driving, smart cockpit, and smart networking. Therefore, mobile phone developers come to develop a familiar road. Secondly, with the divestiture of Honor, there will be a blank period in Huawei's mobile phone business. Yu Chengdong has shown strength in the mobile phone business, and it makes sense that he will be responsible for the automotive business with huge future potential. As Huawei’s rotating chairman Xu Zhijun said: “Maybe the auto industry in ten years, Huawei will be awesome, just like the current mobile phone.”
Although Huawei's mobile phone market share in the fourth quarter has declined significantly, and the U.S. cut-off of chips makes its future mobile phone market worrying, it does not mean that Huawei only relies on mobile phones, and Huawei 5G is not only used in mobile phones. Now Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, announced that Changan Automobile will work with Huawei and CATL to jointly create a new high-end smart car brand, and its high-tech high-end smart products will be launched soon. In the previous BYD Han and Huawei Hi-Car conferences that Huawei and BYD cooperated, Huawei still has great prospects in automobiles. Moreover, Huawei previously announced that it would change lanes and overtake, not waiting for photolithography machines to develop screen chips.
Huawei has invested more than 600 billion yuan in research and development in the past ten years, not just for fun. Although the current mobile phone market is bleak, other aspects are still shining. As Yu Chengdong said before, no one can extinguish the sky full of stars, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.
