Huawei’s news about “cars” is not new. In November last year, Changan Automobile announced that it would join hands with Huawei and CATL to create a new high-end intelligent automobile brand, while at the end of February this year, Reuters exclusively reported that Huawei plans to launch its own electric vehicle brand and is expected to launch some models this year. Huawei has always said that they don’t make cars, but they want to help car companies make good cars. Currently, there are still many companies hoping to “make good cars” with Huawei.
