On December 31, according to The China Securities Network, in response to the rumor that "Xilis is only a Foundry of Huawei Automobile", the official response of Xilis Automobile today: Xilis under Xiaokang Co., Ltd. is a long-term partner of Huawei, not a Foundry of Huawei, not a foundry.
In recent years, the electric vehicle industry has been on fire, and many companies such as Huawei, Apple, and Xiaomi have crossed into the automotive field. Xiaomi has confirmed that it will invest 50 billion yuan in research and development funds for car building, and Apple expects the first electric vehicle to be listed in 2025. Unlike them, Huawei stated that it will not build the whole vehicle, but only do a part of the automotive supply chain.
What Huawei has to do is the car machine system and ecology, and Cyris's latest work, AITO Q&I M5, is equipped with the Hongmeng intelligent cockpit. Huawei has entered the automotive industry so far, the better relationship partners seem to be only Xilisi, the recent Q&C M5 is personally released by Huawei CEO Yu Chengdong, which makes people think that Xilis is only Huawei's car foundry.
Xiao Lei believes that Xilis is not a Huawei car foundry. After the failure of Huawei's mobile phone business, it has shifted its goal to do Hongmeng Ecology and has reached cooperation with BAIC, GAC, Changan and other car companies.
In the process of cooperation, Huawei inevitably communicates with these car companies, if Huawei also builds cars, it is easy for these car companies to suspect that Huawei wants to steal their technology, and Huawei makes its own cars, and provides them with systems and parts, which may also make these car companies uneasy, unless Huawei separates the car department and the car system department into two parts.
This is like BYD cars and BYD batteries, if the two departments are not completely independent, car companies will certainly not be willing to purchase BYD batteries. Google's system and mobile phone department are also independent of each other, and the mobile phone does not go, so other mobile phone manufacturers will be willing to use the Android system.
The reason why Yu Chengdong will release the Q&A M5 may be to let other car companies see the benefits of cooperation with Huawei, and Huawei can take the initiative to help publicize it. As a giant in the communications and mobile phone industries, Huawei is extremely popular in China, and its every move will attract the attention of many netizens. Previously, Cyrus Huawei Smart Select SF5 used Huawei's popularity to order more than 2,000 units in 3 days.
Just released the Q&I M5, the data is also exaggerated, with more than 6,000 orders a week (there is news that more than 8,000 orders a week). With the popularity of Cyrus, it is almost impossible to have this achievement without the help of Huawei. If it is BAIC, GAC, Changan, a popular veteran car company that cooperates with Huawei, the initial order is estimated to be more than this.
In short, Xilis automobile has become a signboard of Huawei, and the cooperation between the two companies is relatively close, but this does not mean that Xilis is Huawei's foundry. The cooperation between the two is to show other car companies, and joining hands with Huawei can save a lot of advertising costs, and Huawei's brand is the best advertising.
