Huawei is a giant in the global communication field, but it is not an old player in the automobile industry. It's only been half a year since Ren shouted the slogan "Huawei will never build a car". There are internal and external factors, but it only accelerates Huawei's entry into the automotive field.

In Huawei's organizational structure, BU is the first-level department alongside BG. Up to now, Huawei has three bgs: operator BG, enterprise BG and consumer BG, and two buses: Cloud &; Artificial intelligence products and services department and smart car solutions department. For Huawei, the original three supporting business operators BG, enterprise BG and consumer BG have matured. While increasing the three major business increments, Huawei is constantly looking for new business opportunities. The automobile field is undoubtedly a just choice.

In fact, it is not the first time that Huawei has met a car. In addition to entering the automobile supply chain earlier in the field of communication module, it has a very close relationship with OEM in recent years.

However, Huawei, which has been focusing on this industry, will not blindly transform the entire automobile industry chain, because any industry is professional, and Huawei will certainly start from its own areas of expertise and gradually polish and enhance its core competitiveness. Compared with the Internet giants with high-profile smart cars, Huawei, which is slow to move, may also interpret the familiar bridge of "latecomers come to the top".

The field centered on the electron flow must be cut off. " 65438+1October 17 Ren made this statement when interviewed by some domestic media at the Shenzhen headquarters.

The core of Huawei is communication. From standard setting to chip research and development, what Huawei does is to improve its competitiveness and hard power in the communication field. The same is true in the field of vehicles.
