Observation： Many models have been equipped with Huawei’s intelligent driving ＂Gankun＂ and the circle of friends has been expanding.

[Global Network Technology Reporter Zhang Yang] Recently, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of terminal BG and chairman of smart car solution BU, officially released the new car Zhijie R7 of HarmonyOS Zhixing at the new product launch conference of Huawei in autumn. When the reporter watched Yu Chengdong on the stage and proudly introduced the various features and performance indicators of the new car, he was deeply moved.

Things have changed, who would have thought that in just over two years, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China automobile market has exceeded 50%. In August this year, the latest data released by china automobile dealers association Passenger Car Market Information Joint Branch showed that in July, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy passenger cars reached 51.1%; There were 840,000 retail sales of conventional fuel passenger cars and 878,000 retail sales of new energy passenger cars. The smart car selection mode of Huawei and Celestial has also been upgraded to HarmonyOS Zhixing, and its models have also been expanded from the series of cars in the world to the "Four Worlds". According to the data released by HarmonyOS Zhixing, from January to August this year, HarmonyOS Zhixing delivered a total of 272,136 vehicles, and delivered 33,699 vehicles in August alone. According to this development trend, Yu Chengdong’s "cowhide" with an annual sales of 300,000 vehicles will come true again.

The reason why HarmonyOS Zhixing’s various models can only achieve such excellent results, among which Huawei’s leading technology of dating is undoubtedly an important consideration for consumers when buying a car. From a series of cooperation trends in September, we can easily find that Huawei’s "friend circle" is not limited to HarmonyOS Zhixing, but is expanding at an unprecedented speed, and its influence has penetrated into the entire intelligent networked automobile industry.

On September 10th, the five-seat version of the M9 was launched. This high-end SUV with deep cooperation with Huawei, with its excellent performance and intelligent configuration, continues to impact and lead the high-end SUV market. Then, on September 14th, Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS 3.0 version began its first large-scale upgrade, which brought more human-like intelligent driving experience to many old car owners. This series of actions not only demonstrated Huawei’s continuous innovation in intelligent driving technology, but also further consolidated its leading position in the industry.

Subsequently, the listing of the brand-new Dongfeng Lantu Dreamer pushed the influence of Huawei BU to a new height. As the world’s first MPV equipped with Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving and HarmonyOS Cockpit, Lantu Dreamer not only has excellent intelligent driving ability, but also realizes the seamless connection between mobile phone and car, bringing unprecedented intelligent travel experience to users. The listing of Changan Deep Blue L07 further broadens the market coverage of Huawei BU. As the only car under 200,000 equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia Basic Edition, its high cost performance will undoubtedly attract more consumers’ attention.

In addition, the cooperation between Dongfeng Group and Huawei BU has been further deepened. At the opening ceremony of Dongfeng Technology Week, Dongfeng Group released a new generation of Tianyuan architecture, and announced that it would set up a joint R&D center with Huawei’s vehicle control platform to jointly overcome difficulties in automotive core technologies. Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi announced that Chuanqi series models will be fully equipped with Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 technology in the future, and the Gankun family has welcomed a new partner.

On September 26th, Aouita 07 went on the market, which is also the third strategic cooperation vehicle of Aouita brand under the blessing of Huawei Gankun Zhijia and HarmonyOS cockpit. With the blessing of Huawei Gankun Zhijia and HarmonyOS cockpit, the sales volume of this car has also achieved good results, with a large quantity exceeding 11,000 units in 20 hours.

In April 2024, Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei Smart Car Solution BU, released a brand-new smart car solution brand with smart driving as the core-Huawei Gankun.

I don’t know if I don’t know, but I was shocked at first sight. Just as domestic new energy vehicles are constantly involved in madness, Huawei’s smart car solution, which is about to be established, is step by step, slowly and steadily. A few days ago, Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, was interviewed by the media and made a public response to some issues of "looking forward" for the first time.

Xu Zhijun said, "Huawei hopes to make Yinwang a platform for car companies to participate in the opening up and become a closely integrated interest community with car companies. Huawei’s exploration in the field of smart cars is also a microcosm of the transformation of China’s automobile industry. The exploration of Huawei’s Gankun smart car solution for many years has not only reconstructed the relationship between the OEM and the component factory in China’s new energy automobile industry, but also reconstructed the business model between them-from the buying and selling model to the value sharing relationship. "

Xu Zhijun predicted that in the future, cars will no longer be traditional mechanical products centered on manufacturing, but high-tech products defined by technological innovation and software. The related R&D investment is very large, but after the technology is successful, the product competitiveness will be very strong. From the market point of view, China’s automobile market will be continuously integrated. At present, many automobile brands may be merged, acquired and integrated, eventually forming a few groups.

"Looking at the world, behind the period of prosperity and development, any industry will gradually precipitate, leaving only a few core players. With the continuous expansion of Huawei’s circle of friends in Gankun, more and more car companies are involved. Perhaps in the near future, we will see that there are more and more cars equipped with Huawei’s Gankun Zhijia, and they will go global and become a crucial camp in the field of intelligent networked vehicles in China. " Xu Zhijun thinks so.

Huawei’s ability to gain so many cooperation opportunities and market recognition in a short period of time is inseparable from its continuous investment and innovation in technology. From chips, hardware, software to software tool chains, Huawei’s layout in the field of intelligent networked vehicles can be described as comprehensive and in-depth. Especially in terms of AI computing power, Huawei BU has shown an amazing growth rate. From 2.8E FLOPS in December 2023 to 7.5E FLOPS in September this year, the computing power has been greatly improved in just a few months, which is behind Huawei’s huge investment and unremitting efforts in technology research and development.

At the same time, Huawei Gankun Zhijia also attaches great importance to the safety and reliability of intelligent driving technology. According to Yu Chengdong at Huawei’s autumn new product launch conference, "As of September this year, the omni-directional anti-collision system of all models of HarmonyOS Zhixing has avoided 630,000 possible collisions." If this data is extended to all models of Gankun Zhijia, by the end of August, this data has risen to 720,000 times.

With the continuous progress of technology and the increasing number of partners, Huawei BU is expected to become an important player in the field of intelligent networked vehicles in China and even the world. What Huawei BU pursues is not only the technological leadership, but also the contribution to the development of the whole industry. By building an open cooperation platform, Huawei Gankun Zhijia is expected to further expand its circle of friends and explore the future of intelligent networked vehicles with more car companies to jointly promote the transformation and upgrading of China’s automobile industry.
