Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications

       
Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd.
Intelligent Automotive Solution Business
Core technologies like AI, new energy, 5G, and cloud services are being integrated into the traditional automotive 
industry at an increasing speed and electric vehicles are becoming more intelligent. They are set to change our 
lives more quickly and profoundly than we could ever have imagined.
Industry Development Trends
■
 
There is an industry-wide consensus that 
vehicles will be intelligent and electric.
Almost all car OEMs and industry partners agree 
that intelligent electric vehicles are the way 
forward. Most car OEMs have committed to this 
future vision and begun taking concrete action, like 
making clear transformation plans and increasing 
investment into these fields.

Technology and user experience are two key 
drivers behind the rapid growth of the global 
new energy vehicle market.
In 2020, sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) 
continued to shine despite the slump in global car 
sales caused by the pandemic. NEV sales in China 
reached 1,367,000 units, a 10.9% year-on-year 
increase, while NEV sales in Europe rose by 45% 
year-on-year to 1,250,000 units.
This rapid growth can be attributed to the heavy 
investments NEV companies have made into R&D 
and their closer analyses of user requirements. 
This has set the tone for medium- and long-term 
development trends.
■
 
Data and software are transforming 
traditional vehicles into intelligent and 
software-defined vehicles.
Data and software can support faster iteration of 
vehicle functions, which allow vehicles to deliver an 
experience that exceeds consumers’ expectations. 
New, continuously iterated functions and services 
are also providing stable revenue streams for car 
OEMs, driving a shift in the industry from product-
centered operations to user-centered operations.
■
 
The meaning of “building better vehicles” has 
changed significantly for car OEMs in an era 
of intelligent electric vehicles.
When it comes to vehicles, consumers are no 
longer primarily focused on mechanical attributes 
and instead are shifting their attention to 
intelligent and electric attributes. To make great 
intelligent electric vehicles, car OEMs need to 
use digital platforms to achieve faster vehicle 
development and improve efficiency at lower cost. 
They also need to enable fast software iteration, 
ensure vehicle safety and security, and address 
other challenges that consumers might face.
Main Achievements in 2020
■
 
Standards development
Huawei actively participated in the formulation 
of standards for intelligent connected vehicles 
both at home and abroad to ensure the safety 
of autonomous driving vehicles. Huawei also 
promoted technological innovation in in-vehicle 
operating systems, vehicle-mounted sensors, 
and vehicle-mounted communications systems. 
By working with industry partners to push for 
legislation on intelligent connected vehicles, we are 
laying a solid foundation for industry development.
■
 
Ecosystem development
Huawei carried out joint innovations on 
intelligent driving, intelligent cockpits, 
intelligent connectivity, and the “computing + 
communications architecture” (CCA), with upstream 
and downstream partners along the relevant 
value chains. These efforts have accelerated the 
transition to intelligent electric vehicles. We actively 
promoted the development of talent specializing 
in intelligent driving, launched talent cultivation 
programs at multiple universities, and established
