Hello everyone, I'm Yuzai. The new energy vehicle industry is ushering in a new revolution, and electrification and intelligence have become hot topics at present. Many domestic automakers are actively exploring this field, and BYD and Huawei are attracting much attention.
People are looking forward to the two leaders, BYD and Huawei, joining forces to jointly create a dual leadership in electric and intelligent vehicles. As early as 2022, it was reported that BYD plans to launch a high-end brand called "Interstellar", using Huawei's MDC computing platform and dual lidar technology. However, despite the high expectations of this cooperation plan, it is regrettable that it did not come to fruition.
Although there are already some models on the market that have both BYD and Huawei elements, such as the Cialis Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition, this is still a long way from people's expectations.
What people want to see most is that BYD's vehicles can be equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving system, or that they have both BYD's three-electric system and Huawei's intelligent driving solution.
However, due to the strong style of both parties and the tendency of most domestic car companies to independently develop, it is quite difficult to cooperate directly. The cooperation between the two sides is limited to some superficial cooperation, and there is great difficulty in integrating key technologies.
However, Toyota, as the world's largest automobile manufacturer, is responding positively to this change. Although Toyota is gradually being hit by new energy vehicles in the Chinese market, they are beginning to realize the importance of electrification. As early as 2019, Toyota announced cooperation with BYD and others to accelerate the development of new energy vehicles. In 2020, Toyota and BYD established a joint venture to further deepen their cooperation.
Although Toyota's current sales of electric vehicles are not satisfactory, they realize that if they want to get out of the decline, they also need the support of intelligence. Therefore, there are rumors that Toyota will cooperate with Huawei and Momenta to launch intelligent driving solutions, which may be a turning point.
In fact, Toyota is just a microcosm, and other joint venture car companies are also interested in BYD and Huawei's technology. With the rise of China's new energy vehicle technology, more and more overseas car companies have begun to extend olive branches to domestic technology.
Toyota's choice to cooperate with BYD and Huawei is obviously to reverse the decline of the electric car business. This may be a signal for other car companies to follow suit.
In short, with the favor of domestic technology by joint venture car companies, China's new energy vehicle industry is ushering in new development opportunities.
