Huawei has reiterated many times that it does not build cars, and indeed according to Huawei's logic, until now Huawei has not had more actions in the basic manufacturing industry, and the traditional car-making idea Huawei does not want to carry out.
Car manufacturing and entering the automobile industry are two completely different concepts.
The traditional car-making industry has several obvious characteristics: capital-intensive, talent-intensive and labor-intensive, which is an industry that needs to solve the problem of basic employment, high-end research and development, and large-scale capital.
China's manufacturing industry no longer needs additional vehicle manufacturers, the reason is that our entry industry structure has been enough, and the work of beating screws really does not require too many enterprises to enter.
The transformation of low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing is the future trend, and it is possible for Chinese industries to truly narrow the gap with Europe and the United States.
Huawei has always been one of the core enterprises in the high-end manufacturing industry, from chip design to manufacturing, the research and development, design and debugging of the product system ecosystem is really an industry that we have never been involved in before.
In recent years, Huawei needs industrial transformation for some reasons, and new energy vehicles are a good sector.
The new four modernizations of automobiles are a topic that has been talked about for a long time, one of the core directions is "intelligence", Huawei can not build cars, because the company is not willing to put more energy on trivial, anyone can do the basic manufacturing industry.
How to play smart, Huawei is very technical and experienced.
The current intelligent cockpit composition is basically composed of LCD dashboards, central control large screens, intelligent voice system underlying architecture, cameras, radar, indeed more than 100,000 domestic cars have done a good job of intelligence.
But Huawei thinks it can do better.
The essence of all intelligence is the smoothness, matching and interconnection brought by the underlying operating system, which hongmeng system has indeed achieved good mutual glue between PC and mobile terminals after its appearance, if this system is placed on the car machine system, and targeted in the radar, camera, and intelligent car required by the electric drive to continue to integrate, it will inevitably become a very competitive supplier.
So now we are in the world of M5, we see the real sense of equipped with Huawei intelligent operating system, electric drive products, to experience the M5, just from the intelligent feeling, better than many models currently on sale.
What is QCI M5?
Strictly speaking, he is not a product produced by Huawei, but an electric vehicle produced by Xiaokang with the participation of Huawei Technology, and in essence, the enterprise that carries the production and benefits is Xiaokang rather than Huawei, and Huawei only forms a strategic cooperation as a supplier.
Yu Chengdong once said that he would sell "Huawei cars" to 300,000 units.
There is a misunderstanding in the market, in fact, it is not a Huawei car in essence, but equipped with Huawei intelligent system, the overall volume of cars with Huawei's participation is sold to 300,000, at present, GAC, Changan, BAIC, and Xiaokang are all car companies with strategic agreements with Huawei, and it is not difficult to sell all the models of these car companies to 300,000 annual sales in the next few years.
It can be seen that Huawei does not want to be a manufacturer, it wants to be a supplier, a company that solves supporting solutions for enterprises.
Last year, the public opinion on Huawei's car was very noisy, some people think that at the Huawei press conference unveiled the Q&I M5, Huawei began to build cars, in fact, the essence is not so, the reason why the M5 M5 is involved, is because the M5 car has a Hongmeng system that Huawei has done everything to build.
The main body is still well-off, and the polar fox that also has Huawei's participation has also appeared, and there is also Huawei's painstaking injection.
Huawei's territory is very large, and it must be an integrated technology supplier for the whole industry, providing a drive system with higher integration, stronger driving capability, and better performance, and a Hongmeng system with a better sense of technology and a clearer underlying logic of the Internet of Everything.
Therefore, in the future, you will also see more enterprises equipped with Huawei's Hongmeng system, far more than the companies I mentioned above, it is possible that Great Wall, Geely, BYD and even Mercedes-Benz and GM will use it.
Xiaokang, Jihu these enterprises, brands are more like the early stage of in-depth cooperation with Huawei enterprises, on the one hand, these companies are seeking endorsement, want to find a new way to enhance the sense of science and technology, Huawei needs to land the technology, both sides shot.
In my opinion, these are the needs of the early stage of the enterprise, is the strategic cooperation is also a stopgap measure, for Huawei, the direction of not building cars is still adhered to, and in this car manufacturing gradually towards the trend of low-end manufacturing, Huawei began to develop and design systems, chips, core technologies, bright.
