Lectra and Volvo Technology: Does Lectra Automotive Technology originate from Volvo? What is the difference between the two?

* * Lectra and Volvo Technology: Does Lectra Automotive Technology originate from Volvo? What is the difference between the two? **

In recent years, the performance of China automobile brand Lexus in the automobile market has attracted wide attention. Many people are interested in its technical relationship with Swedish automaker Volvo. This paper will deeply discuss whether the Lexus automobile technology originated from Volvo and the difference between them.

* * The relationship between Lectra Automotive Technology and Volvo * *

Link Auto is a joint venture between China Geely Automobile Group and Volvo Car. In 2010, Geely acquired Volvo Cars, which laid the foundation for the development of Lectra automotive technology. Lectra adopts Volvo’s CMA(Compact Modular Architecture) platform, which is the core of the technical contact between Lectra and Volvo.

* * Similarities and differences at the technical level * *

Although Lectra adopts Volvo’s CMA platform, there are some differences between them in other technical aspects. The following are some key technical comparisons:

||| Lexus Auto | Volvo Car |
| — | — | — |
| * * Platform * *| Using CMA platform | Using CMA and SPA platform |
| * * Engine * * | Mainly adopts turbocharged engine | Provides a variety of engine options,Including turbo, hybrid and pure electric |
| * * Safety Technology * *| Adopt some safety technologies of Volvo | Have advanced safety technologies, such as urban safety system and driver assistance system |
| * * Interior design * *| Modern and scientific, but different from Volvo | Known for its Nordic minimalist style, it pays attention to materials and craftsmanship |
| * * Positioning * *| Pay more attention to cost performance and young consumers | Position high-end market, pay attention to brand and driving experience |

* * Market Positioning and Consumer Groups * *

The market positioning of Lexus is different from that of Volvo Cars. Link pays more attention to cost performance, and the target consumers are mainly young consumers. Volvo Cars is positioned in the high-end market, and its consumer groups pay more attention to brand value and driving experience.

* * Summary * *

Lectra automotive technology originated from Volvo to some extent, especially in the platform. However, there are obvious differences in engine, safety technology and interior design. In addition, the market positioning and consumer groups of Lectra and Volvo are also different, aiming at different market demands. Nevertheless, with its technical strength and innovative ability, Linklater has achieved certain success in the automobile market.

  It can be seen that the whole front face of the new car will still follow the design of the current models for sale, and the straight waterfall front grille has high recognition. At the same time, the L-shaped trim under the headlight group and the shape of the front enclosure will also be continued. However, it is worth mentioning that the new car seems to be adjusted for the headlight group, and the outline looks different from the models currently on sale.

  The rear part of the car will probably follow the design idea of the current model, and the through taillight group is expected to continue to appear on the new car. At the same time, the taillight group will extend to both sides of the car. The roof line also adopts a slightly sliding design, which can make the vehicle look younger.

  It can be seen that the interior of the new car is full of test lines, so the current state of the test car does not mean that it is consistent with the future production model, and it is only for reference. At present, the test car is equipped with an integrated large screen with arc edge design, which is visually larger than the screen size of the current model. In addition, the layout at the bottom of the screen and the layout in front of the front armrest box are expected to be adjusted.

  At present, we still don’t know the news about the power of the new car. For reference, the fuel version currently on sale is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 192kW and a peak torque of 400 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. (Text/car home Duandi)

Is BYD Han EV worth buying? I’ll tell you all the advantages and disadvantages without reservation. You can wait.

It’s my first time to drive a tram home for the New Year. BYD Han EV (parameter picture) is the top version, that is, the four-wheel drive accelerates for 3.9 seconds in 100 kilometers. First of all, one of the biggest experiences of driving it during this period is very cool, especially in our mountainous area, there are many kinds of uphill roads, including I went to Yangtian Lake and climbed steep slopes, including some sand roads.

Especially when I was going uphill, I used to drive an oil truck. When I was going uphill, I felt that I had to work hard before I went uphill. It didn’t feel this way at all. You wanted to go uphill, okay, and go. This feeling was particularly crisp and neat. This is why many friends went to drive an oil truck again after driving the tram, and they felt that this oil truck was old and boring.

The second problem that many friends will worry about is the endurance, because I ran more than 300 kilometers and 380 kilometers from Changsha and ran back to my hometown, and then I used the car in my hometown all this time. To be honest, after I just took this car, I fully charged it and then ran back to my hometown from Changsha. I was really anxious. In fact, I have been looking for this anxiety myself. Who gave me the anxiety because I usually made this piece of things myself?

In fact, I feel more anxious about the uncertainty of charging. For example, when I came back from Changsha, I took the Xuguang Expressway. I checked, basically, there are no charging piles in the service area from the Xuguang Expressway Changsha to my home. The entire high-speed service area in Hunan has the most comprehensive layout of charging piles, basically along the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, but there are many high-speed trucks in Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, and the road in Hunan is narrow, so basically I won’t choose that side.

Later, I had to check, and there was a charging place not far from Hengyang Expressway. At this time, my anxiety would be relatively better. When I first started driving it, it showed that the cruising range was more than 500 kilometers, that is, it was less than 400 kilometers from Changsha to my home, so I guess if I drive a little more cautiously and have a little cotton feet, I can make do with it.

Therefore, in the first half, it should be about 130 kilometers from Changsha to Hengyang’s slope weir service area. At this time, I really drove cautiously, and there was a traffic jam for an hour at that time. In addition, the temperature was very low at that time. When I was driving, in order to take care of my child’s illness, I adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to 28~30 degrees, which often expelled the fog. Moreover, due to the bad weather that day, I turned all the lights, including fog lights.

Plus, because it’s home for the New Year, the trunk is full of things, and things are still heavy, so it’s a fully loaded state. In this state, when I ran to the slope weir, I used 50% of the electricity. However, there are still more than 200 kilometers to my home, which I think is definitely not enough. Therefore, from this period, when I return, it is probably estimated that the endurance in this case should be about 60% off. This endurance is actually acceptable to me, because the conditions were really limited at that time. When I ran in the second half of Hengyang after charging, I was not anxious at all.

The third point is about charging anxiety, which I concluded later. The most anxiety actually comes from the uncertainty of charging. When I returned, because it was before the Chinese New Year, I didn’t know whether the charging pile should be lined up at that time, how many people should be lined up, and whether the environment of the charging pile was good, especially when it was raining, so I also thought about whether I would get soaked when charging, so these experiences of poor charging.

For finding a fast charging station, there are many experiences, charging time and queuing. These uncertain factors will cause car anxiety. I think if new energy vehicles want to develop better in charging, a big positive solution lies in charging service, which is why I can finally understand why some manufacturers, such as Tesla, want to introduce power exchange and build their own super charging piles.

Fourth, although this car, Han EV, has been on the market for such a long time, I still want to talk about the driving experience. If you want to talk about the power, we don’t have to talk about the acceleration. I want to talk about its shortcomings, especially when I drove it to Yangtian Lake this time, many of them were uphill, and they encountered sand roads and icy roads. At this time, I could obviously feel that the chassis of this car was adjusted, and

At present, BYD has made great progress in the three-electric technology and the whole car system, including the appearance, and in some technologies, it has achieved such a position that the industry is close to the head, but the chassis, as a very important part of the car, really cannot be ignored. Next, if BYD wants to go further and better, it should really make a good effort in the chassis.

In this way, this car will become more perfect. Besides, BYD’s whole driver assistance system is really backward at present, and its experience is worse than that of other new forces. Therefore, this piece still needs a good effort. Generally speaking, it has some shortcomings, but its advantages are also very obvious. It is like a young guy with many shortcomings and many advantages. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. In fact, it has been tested deeply.

Well, that’s all. During the Chinese New Year, Brother Miao drove a long distance to visit relatives, all of them drove it, and I really had some car experience. I also hope that my experience can give you some reference. Of course, if you also watch the hero EV, I suggest you wait a little longer, because the next generation will be more perfect. If you are considering buying a car, I will give it to a leader in the tram industry like BYD, and if I experience its products.

Be sure to make a decision according to the items I mentioned and your own actual situation. If you can’t meet these conditions, I suggest that you can still give priority to the oil car. If you have to buy a tram, unless it is the second car at home, it will be a little easier to use, so that you won’t be embarrassed when you encounter special circumstances.

LI submitted its papers in 2022: it lost 2.03 billion yuan, and its market share will double to 20% in 2023.

In the past 2022, China’s new energy vehicle market can be said to be surging. With the increasing penetration rate of new energy, the automobile market has become a scuffle. Independent, joint venture, luxury and new power brands have crossed their respective fiefs and encroached for market share. The boundary between fuel vehicles and new energy market has become increasingly blurred and the competition has become increasingly fierce. In addition, with the cancellation of state subsidies, superimposed economic expectations make consumers highly sensitive to prices, and the profit pressure of car companies is increasing. Especially for new power brands, it is a victory to minimize losses, and LI’s 2022 answer sheet can be said to be a staged victory.

A few days ago, LI released a financial report, showing that its revenue in the fourth quarter of last year was 17.65 billion yuan, making a single-quarter profit again, and its net profit reached 265 million yuan. Due to the unexpected revenue performance in the fourth quarter, LI rose more than 6% before the US stock market. However, in the face of increasingly fierce competition in the domestic new energy auto market, from the data of last year’s financial report, LI’s R&D, sales and other expenses increased by over 60% year-on-year, and its net loss increased to 2.03 billion yuan, more than six times higher than the 320 million yuan in 2021.

Revenue increased greatly and gross profit margin declined.

Last December, the ideal delivery volume exceeded 20,000, setting a new record for LI and China. Excellent sales volume is also reflected in the financial report data. LI turned losses into profits in the fourth quarter of last year, ending the loss trend of the previous three consecutive quarters, which, of course, is also the dream of the new domestic car-making forces. In addition, the annual revenue of 45.29 billion yuan also set a record for ideal revenue.

However, behind the excellent revenue performance, it is the decline in gross profit margin. In terms of gross profit margin, the gross profit margin of automobiles in LI in 2022 was 19.1%, while in 2021 it was 20.6%. Ideally, the decrease in gross profit margin of vehicles was mainly due to the loss of inventory preparation and purchasing commitment related to Li ONE models in 2022, which partially offset the higher vehicle profit margin delivered by the ideal L9 series from the third quarter of 2022.

Although it is slightly lower than itself, such gross profit margin still exists as a leader in the new energy market. For example, Weilai’s gross profit for bicycles in Q3 in 2022 is 16.4%, Tucki’s gross profit for bicycles in Q3 in 2022 is 11.6%, and Tesla’s gross profit for bicycles in 2022 is 28.5%.

Regarding the decline in gross profit margin, Li Tie, chief financial officer of LI, said that our gross profit margin is healthy. At present, most of the sales volume comes from L9 and L8, both of which are in the production climbing stage. It will take some time for our supply chain to complete the capacity climbing, and the gross profit margin and cost reduction will be announced in the next quarter. In the future, considering the monthly delivery of materials, the overall gross profit margin of our L series products will be around 25%.

In 2021, there was only ONE model of Li ONE in LI. In 2022, two models, L9 and L8, were delivered successively. At the beginning of this year, L7 was launched, and the introduction of three new cars undoubtedly further increased the investment in R&D. In this regard, LI believes that LI has always attached importance to the ratio of R&D investment to income, insisting that more than 10% of R&D investment is used to support the long-term self-developed technology development of enterprises.

Liu Qiang, an auto industry analyst, said that after the annual sales exceeded 100,000 vehicles, it was urgent for LI to further seize the market share and continue to improve the product layout, which also made its R&D investment only increase.

From the perspective of the whole year, the R&D expenditure in 2022 was 6.78 billion yuan, accounting for 15.0% of the annual expenditure, which doubled the R&D investment expenditure in 2021 and increased by 106.3% year-on-year. In terms of cost management, LI is as stingy as ever. LI’s sales, general and management expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were 1.63 billion yuan, accounting for 9.2% of the quarterly expenses, an increase of 44.8% compared with 1.13 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2021 and an increase of 8.1% compared with 1.51 billion yuan in the third quarter of 2022.

While new products are speeding up, LI continues to speed up the research and development of intelligent driving. Li Xiang said that LI plans to expand its navigation-assisted driving capability to urban scenes, and it is expected that in the fourth quarter of this year, the ideal AD Max will open the internal test of early bird users in NOA. In addition, LI plans to build a complete systematic capability in the field of artificial intelligence (software 2.0) by 2030.

Cui Dongshu believes that with the gradual popularization of expressway-assisted driving and the acceleration of urban-assisted driving, the market competition has also switched from functional popularization to interaction and user experience, and LI’s "make-up lessons" intelligently improved the delivery volume and finally made a profit.

The task this year is to grab the market.

Huge R&D investment has brought brand-new product matrix and technology, which also makes Li Xiang set new goals for LI:In 2023, LI will challenge the 20% market share of all luxury SUV markets in the price range of 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan.

Li Xiang said that in 2022, LI’s market share of 300,000-500,000 SUVs will be 9.5%, and our forecast for the market this year will probably be between 1.4 million and 1.5 million. Our requirement for ourselves is to double the market share. Based on this calculation, the ideal will hit the delivery target of 300,000 vehicles this year.

At the same time, Li would like to add that the market of 200,000-300,000 is relatively difficult for us, and we need to have a stronger scale effect before entering the price range of 200,000-300,000.

Li Xiang previously said on social media: "Without L8 Air and L7 Air, 25,000 vehicles/month will be guaranteed, and after Air starts to deliver, 30,000 vehicles/month will be guaranteed." At the conference call after the earnings report, Li wanted to reveal that the above-mentioned goals were to be achieved in the second quarter of this year.

LI said that the current sales volume of the ideal L7 will take some time to climb. As for the sales guidance in the first quarter, it is expected to include thousands of L7 vehicles, and more deliveries will mainly focus on L8 and L9. Although there are some orders for L7 Air models, the test drive has not yet entered the store, and many consumers will not place orders until after the test drive.

It is reported that the delivery volume of LI in January this year was 15,141 vehicles. After the L7 series and non-suspended versions of the Air were opened for delivery, the delivery volume of the L789 three vehicles should be stable at more than 20,000 vehicles. At the same time, facing the supply chain problem, LI said that with the gradual improvement of industrial maturity and upstream and downstream supply, he will maintain confidence in the supply of spare parts this year, and at the same time, he will further strengthen the perception and planning of supply strategy, risk management and cost management to actively respond to their potential supply challenges and risks.

According to LI’s financial report in 2022, LI’s ideal financial profit is classic and logical with its high gross profit of 20%, explosive strategy, efficient direct marketing system and extremely low proportion of marketing expenses.

And with the continuous investment in research and development, the new products and technologies it brings will also enter the harvest period in 2023, and its delivery data this year should also be very good. However, the ideal "big single product" strategy also has its limitations, the most obvious of which is the singleness of its product line. As the market rolls up, the first-Mover’s ideal is bound to face the challenges of many competitors. Whether consumers can maintain a continuous freshness and brand stickiness in the future will be more important than realizing profitability.

What should we pay attention to in community group buying?

  As a new consumption mode, community group buying has the characteristics of fast, convenient and cheap, and is favored by many consumers. But at the same time, there are also some problems in community group buying, such as "cheap things are not beautiful" and low after-sales service level. In this regard, Guangxi Consumer Council suggested:

  Improve the quality of goods and enhance consumer trust.

  Community group buying platform should not rely too much on price war, and the core key to the sustainable and healthy development of community group buying is to pursue the quality of goods and the reputation of consumers. It is suggested that the community group buying platform should pay attention to the selection of goods with qualified quality from the source, especially to strengthen the quality control of fresh goods; It is necessary to strengthen the publicity and quality supervision of goods in the platform, replace the propaganda photos that mislead consumers, and take off fake and shoddy goods and "fake goods" in time to provide consumers with an efficient, convenient and safe shopping experience.

  Improve the service standard of community group buying leaders and stimulate consumption potential.

  The role of "team leader" in community group buying is very important, providing consumers with the whole process of community group buying and shopping services, such as online recommendation of goods, offline storage and delivery, after-sales service and so on. The service level of "group leader" in community group buying determines the level of consumer satisfaction. It is suggested that the community group buying platform should organize regular training for "team leaders" to improve their comprehensive service ability; Improve the service standard of "group leader", build a demonstration site of "group leader" standard, expand the influence of "group leader" and enhance the reputation of community group buying platform.

  Improve the after-sales service level of community group purchase and optimize the consumption experience.

  The community group buying platform should provide a more friendly user interface and operational guidance for middle-aged and elderly people, and improve consumers’ experience. In view of the single after-sales service channel for consumers’ feedback, and the refusal to return goods and refund, it is suggested that the community group buying platform sort out the list of consumer feedback questions in after-sales service, strictly implement the after-sales service requirements of online goods, improve after-sales service consultation, and increase online manual customer service to provide effective after-sales service in time. It is necessary to improve the after-sales service norms of community group buying and introduce characteristic after-sales service commitments, such as introducing commitments higher than laws and regulations in the "return and exchange regulations". It is necessary to improve the after-sales service system, realize the seamless connection between online after-sales service and offline "team leader" service, and meet the after-sales needs of consumers.

  From "good quality and low price" to "reasonable quality and price", only buy the right one.

  Consumers are advised to choose a community group buying platform with high product quality, high credibility and good after-sales service for consumption. We should consume rationally, while enjoying the convenience brought by the new consumption format, we should change from pursuing "good quality and low price" to pursuing "appropriate quality and price" When consumers encounter commodity quality problems, they should not pursue them without thinking that the losses are not great. They should use legal means to protect their legitimate rights and interests and prevent more consumers from being infringed on their rights and interests, so as to urge community group buying platforms to improve the quality of goods and service levels, and constantly improve their sense of gain in consumption upgrading.

AITO asked why the new M7 delivered "vertical quantity" Huawei Cyrus model was successful.

  AITO asked the new M7 to break through 80,000 one month after its listing, and quickly became a strong dark horse in the new energy vehicle market. It is worth mentioning that in October, AITO series delivered 12,700 new cars, among which AITO series delivered 10,547 new cars, and the delivery of a single model exceeded 10,000 in a single month, reaching a record high. Recently, Celestial Auto executives said in an interview that Celestial Auto is making every effort to achieve "vertical quantity" in production and delivery from supply chain to manufacturing.

  Technology integration innovation behind the product craze

  As the first sample to explore the new model of the industry, the successful creation of AITO series can not be separated from the cooperation between Huawei and Cyrus, and both sides basically take care of the family’s "baby". 

  According to sources who understand the cooperation between Huawei and Celeste, Celeste has invested more than 20 billion yuan in the field of new energy vehicles in the past few years, and invested more than 12 billion yuan in AITO boundary projects alone; Huawei’s research and development of automobile-related technologies began as early as 2009, with an annual investment of about 10 billion yuan and over 7,000 direct R&D personnel.

  Especially in the aspect of extended range technology, compared with Huawei, which has its own aura, Celeste Automobile, which is not obvious in cooperation, applies its most advanced technology to the series of products. For example, the range extender, the core of the power system, has been developed to the third generation, with the highest oil-electricity conversion rate of 3.44kwh/L and thermal efficiency exceeding 41%. The intelligent extended-range control system pioneered by Cyrus in the industry can independently identify more than 900 kinds of travel scenes, accurately match them, realize the adaptability of the whole region in all seasons, and continuously upgrade OTA to improve the learning ability of AI, with a patent layout of 1,000+in the world.

  Since 2016, Celestial Automobile has made great efforts to lay out multiple technical routes, pioneered the pure electric range extension technology, and developed the super electric drive intelligent technology platform (DE-i), realizing a multi-technical route solution for pure electric and range extension, laying a pioneer and leader position in the range extension route of new energy vehicles.

  In terms of vehicle design, taking AITO Wenjie New M7 as an example, Cyrus and Huawei invested 500 million yuan to upgrade. Sailis re-matched the car body, opened the mold, and rebuilt the welding production line. The high-strength steel and aluminum alloy accounted for 80.6% of the whole car, and the submarine-grade thermoformed steel accounted for 24.4%, far exceeding the industry level. In the development process, a total of 100+ vehicle safety tests, 10,000+simulation analysis times and 1,000,000+simulation analysis core hours were invested, which truly realized the leading safety structure at the same level.

  At the earlier AITO M5, both parties made bold technological innovations, and the products adopted all-aluminum chassis, reaching the level of millions of luxury cars. Compared with the traditional steel chassis, it can bring the light weight effect of the whole vehicle, at the same time, it has greater rigidity and strength, more stable and safe handling performance, and enhance driving confidence and ride comfort.

  Later, in the process of developing the M5 intelligent driving version of AITO, various components such as laser radar need to be added. With the improvement of vehicle design, the industry-leading achievements such as no increase in vehicle weight, endurance improvement and NVH improvement have been achieved. When the M5 standard edition of AITO was released, it caused quite a stir in the industry. The intelligent extended range technology jointly created by the two engines made the cruising range of this model increase again, reaching an astonishing 1,455 kilometers, far exceeding other competing products in the industry.

  Process innovation to create high-quality products

  The deep integration of Cyrus and Huawei has innovatively created a set of intelligent development, intelligent manufacturing and testing systems. From the beginning of research and development, we strengthened the test standards, increased the sample size of the test and extended the test time, which was four times that of the industry. In addition to the off-site three-high test, it also simulates various climatic environments in the field to do function, performance and durability tests.

AITO asks why the new M7 delivers the "vertical quantity" Huawei Sailis model successfully _fororder_image005

  In terms of supplier’s ex-factory inspection, the power core components such as power battery and range extender are specially controlled, and every component of the supplier’s ex-factory must undergo 100% automatic inspection, and the test data is transmitted to Saili Automobile Smart Factory in real time to ensure that every component shipped to Sailis 100% qualified, and the whole process is automated to remove human factors.

  After the whole vehicle rolled off the assembly line, it achieved 100% full inspection of the vehicle, and conducted a comprehensive physical examination of each vehicle through independent research and development of automatic detection technology. Through the whole body "CT scan", more than 400 functions and more than 4,000 signal interactions of the whole vehicle are automatically tested, and the test data are uploaded to the cloud in real time to realize the "one car and one physical examination report", ensuring that every car leaving the factory is 100% qualified.

  In addition, Celestial Auto has also completed the construction of an integrated platform of end and cloud, covering the whole product life cycle. With the blessing of "digital intelligence productivity", the end-cloud integrated platform runs through the processes of research, production, supply, sales and service, and opens up the "artery" of networked ecology to cover the whole life week, and continues to use technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to upgrade the intelligent networked ecosystem, helping all models to land with high quality and empower smart travel.

  Huawei’s industry-leading technology is seamlessly connected with the vehicle structure and various electronic and electrical architectures, and it is quickly introduced to the market. In fact, the soft power of Sailis has been ignored by the industry for a long time.

  Fully trust each other and consolidate the foundation of cooperation

  Analysts believe that as Huawei’s earliest cooperative partner, with the most complete channels, the richest product lines and the largest investment, the smart car selection model initiated by Celeste Automobile and Huawei fully verifies the correctness of the cooperation model and the leading position of cooperation efficiency through the success of AITO’s products.

  The intelligent car selection model is different from any previous model, which requires enterprises with super product understanding, super execution and super struggle spirit, full mutual trust and close cooperation. From the beginning of research and development, AITO Jiejie series has comprehensively covered the extended range and pure electric technology routes, creating a differentiated matrix of high-end smart luxury products.

  An unknown detail is that the bosses of Huawei and Cyrus often call in the middle of the night to discuss the product details, and the R&D personnel of both sides can hand over the product improvement plan to the management desk the next day. Research and development, products, services and other aspects, communication seminars at all levels between the two sides are also held regularly and irregularly. Before the new products went on the market, the teams of the two sides jointly tested the performance of new cars and tried to present the best products.

AITO asked why the new M7 delivered the "vertical quantity" Huawei Sailis model successfully _fororder_image007

  With the leading edge in their respective technical fields, Cyrus and Huawei launched three AITO series models in just one year. After the new M7 of AITO Questionnaire explodes the market, the M9 of AITO Questionnaire, which integrates the latest technological achievements of both parties, will be officially unveiled, which has aroused more expectations from users. At the same time, the "AITO Joint Working Group on Marketing and Service" established by Celestial Automobile and Huawei is fully responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service and channels. This mechanism further improves the management of sales, channels and services in the world and enhances the user experience.

  From product definition to after-sales service, the cooperation of the whole process has created the first explosion of intelligent car selection business. Huawei’s intelligent advantages and the strength of Celestial vehicles make the smart car selection model a phenomenal topic in the new energy vehicle industry, which has been repeatedly discussed, and Celestial’s market value has been rising all the way, ranking among the top three new energy vehicle enterprises in China. With explosive products to promote the growth of enterprises, the cooperation between the two sides is also expected to create more new industry records in the future.

  At present, Celestial Automobile and Huawei have formed a long-term, stable and solid cooperative relationship. Under the broader vision of mutual empowerment, the persistent exploration and resilience demonstrated by both sides will promote the cooperation to continue to make new breakthroughs.
