Frequent purchase of new energy vehicle parts means Huawei is planning to build cars? Huawei officially announced: No plans!

There have been media reports recently that Huawei has purchased new energy vehicle reducers and other components from multiple manufacturers, leading to widespread speculation that Huawei is about to enter the car manufacturing field.

In response to this, a person from Huawei's brand department officially responded that Huawei has no plans to build complete vehicles, and is still verifying information internally regarding the purchase of parts from the outside world.

Another person familiar with the matter also said that Huawei should not have plans to build complete vehicles, and the procurement of parts should be for the purpose of cooperating with related companies in the three-electric fields (batteries, motors, and electronic controls) of new energy vehicles.

In response to similar speculation, Huawei has repeatedly reiterated that it will not build cars directly, but will use its own technology to help automakers build "5G cars."

In early May, Huawei officially announced that it would work with 18 automobile companies to establish a "5G automotive ecosystem" to accelerate the application of 5G technology in the automotive industry.

The 18 automobile companies are: FAW Group, Changan Automobile, Dongfeng Group, SAIC Group, GAC Group, BAIC Group, BYD, Great Wall Motor, Chery Holdings, JAC Motors, Yutong Bus, SERES, Nanjing Iveco, and T3 Mobility.

Huawei believes that 5G cars have become a strategic direction for the development of the automotive industry. The high bandwidth, low latency and high stability of 5G network technology can provide new possibilities for application scenarios such as Internet of Vehicles, intelligent transportation, and autonomous driving. Brand-new driving experience, entertainment experience, and consumer-friendly experience such as the linkage of car, home, and people will be the focus of future automotive innovation. Huawei said it will work together with many automakers towards this goal.

It is reported that since April 2019, Huawei has successively provided products and technologies such as 5G car module MH5000 and 5G vehicle-mounted terminal T-BOX to partners in the automotive ecosystem, continuously helping to improve the 5G car and 5G-C-V2X intelligent network ecosystem.
