Changan made public the details of its joint venture with Huawei, and the HI model of Avita 12 had the last laugh!
On January 16, at the 2024 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong, Chairperson of Changan Automobile, responded to and shared the establishment of a joint venture with Huawei, the 2024 sales target, and recent personnel changes.
"The new joint venture between Changan and Huawei is tentatively named’Newcool ‘." According to Zhu Huarong, since August last year, the two sides have carried out multiple rounds of exchanges on the establishment of the new company. The two sides are very compatible in terms of industrial judgment, development concepts, and cooperation ideas. Therefore, in less than three months, Changan and Huawei reached a cooperation intention and signed an "Investment Cooperation Memorandum" at the end of November last year.
It is reported that the two sides are conducting transactions and cooperation agreement negotiations, and all related work is progressing smoothly as planned. The new company is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production, sales and service of automotive intelligence systems and component solutions. The business scope includes seven major fields such as automotive intelligent driving solutions, automotive intelligent cockpit, intelligent vehicle digital platform, intelligent vehicle cloud, AR-HUD and intelligent lights. Zhu Huarong also mentioned that during the cooperation process, Huawei promised not to engage in the whole vehicle business; not to engage in the new company business; for the smart selection business, the two sides have also done good research and discussion.
In addition to the cooperation form mentioned above, Avita, a brand of Changan Automobile, and Huawei adopt the HI model (Huawei provides full-stack integrated solutions), which is also the only one among the mainstream car companies. In this regard, Zhu Huarong explained that doing so (adopting the HI model) is in line with the laws of the industry and meets the requirements of industrial policies, so that the interests of users can be fundamentally guaranteed. We and Huawei’s innovative model, strong alliances, complementary advantages, maximize their respective advantages, and form a bundle of interests. From another perspective, this is also the best result of the CHN model.
In 2023, Avita 11 and Avita 12 will be launched on the market, of which Avita 12 will make its world debut at the Munich Motor Show, and will break through 20,000 cars in the first month of listing. Avita 12 is equipped with HarmonyOS 4.0. At the same time, Avita 12 is also equipped with Huawei’s high-end intelligent driving system ADS2.0, which reduces dependence on high-precision maps and realizes a very "smart" driving experience covering all scenarios such as high-speed sections, urban sections and parking links.
As the second product of Avita and an important phased achievement of the mid-term goal of "four-year four-car", Avita 12 adheres to the product concept of "forward-looking design" and "warm technology", and will also open up a new market in the luxury coupe field, creating a unique and futuristic travel and life experience for users.
Changan and Huawei’s new company is named "Newcool". The first reaction to seeing this news is that Avita 12 is going to take off in situ. With the deep blessing of these two dads, future cutting-edge technologies should give Avita 12 priority. Looking forward to living in the family!
