Huawei’s car-making national team has added another friend, and Dongfeng Landmap and Huawei have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

On January 22nd, Huawei, a Lantu brand under Dongfeng Motor Group, signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will work together to create an excellent intelligent travel experience to meet the needs of modern consumers and promote the high-quality development of the automotive industry. This cooperation will deepen the application of intelligent technology in the automotive field and accelerate its commercialization process.

▲ Lantu Auto & Huawei official publicity cooperation

At the signing ceremony, DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Party Committee Standing Committee and Deputy General Manager You Zheng, CEO Lu Fang of Lantu Automobile, Vice Chairperson and Rotating Chairperson Xu Zhijun of Huawei, and CEO Jin Yuzhi of Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions Business Unit (BU) attended the ceremony.

It is worth noting that Yu Chengdong, chairperson of Automotive BU, who is responsible for Huawei’s smart car business (now Hongmeng Zhixing), did not appear at the signing site.

From the perspective of the two sides’ announcements, the main purpose of this cooperation is to promote the deployment of intelligent technologies, and it is worth noting that when Huawei and Changan jointly announced the establishment of a joint venture company, they also focused on the intelligent aspects of automobiles. It can be seen that the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei may be close to the cooperation model of Changan.

Huawei currently has three different automotive business models internally, one is the parts, the other is the HI model, and the last is the Hongmeng Zhixing model. Yu Chengdong is currently mainly promoting the Hongmeng Zhixing model, frequently serving as the platform of Hongmeng Zhixing, and even participating in product launches. Under the Hongmeng Zhixing model, Huawei will participate in all aspects from design to sales.

Based on this information, the cooperation between Dongfeng Landmap and Huawei should also be an HI model, and even Dongfeng Motor will participate in the joint venture between Huawei and Changan in the future.

First, Huawei Landmap officially joined hands to enhance the competitiveness of smart cars

According to the official news of Huawei Smart Car Solutions, during the signing period, the two sides conducted in-depth discussions on the development trend of intelligent connected vehicles.

▲ Main models of Lantu Automobile

From the perspective of the qualifications of both parties, Lantu Auto has an industry-leading position in vehicle safety and driving handling performance, particularly in terms of vehicle safety and driving performance, leveraging the 55-year experience of the central enterprise Dongfeng Company and the world’s leading new energy vehicle manufacturing technology.

Huawei has a deep accumulation in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and continues to make breakthroughs in intelligent technology. The cooperation between the two parties will enable Lantu Automobile to further improve and iterate in the field of intelligent new energy vehicles.

At the signing ceremony, DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Party Committee Standing Committee and Deputy General Manager You Zheng, CEO Lu Fang of Lantu Automobile, Huawei Vice Chairperson and Rotating Chairperson Xu Zhijun, and Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions Business Unit (BU) CEO Jin Yuzhi and other senior leaders attended to witness this important moment.

At the scene, Lantu Automotive COO Jiang Tao and Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU Vice President Chi Linchun signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.

Second, Lantu Huawei cooperation is implemented, or the HI model is adopted

At present, Huawei has three main models in the automotive field, namely the parts supplier model, the HUAWEI INSIDE (HI) model and the Hongmeng Zhixing model. The layout of the three business models currently formed by Huawei varies according to the depth of participation:

Well, first of all.Parts supplier modelThis means that Huawei, as a core supplier in the era of smart electric vehicles, provides automakers with a range of standardized components, such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, cameras, motors, and on-board lighting, which are closely related to electrification and intelligence.

Secondly, the solution model, namelyHUAWEI INSIDE (HI)To provide full-stack integrated solutions to car companies, while the car design, manufacturing and sales are still the responsibility of the car companies themselves. This plan is represented by BAIC’s Extreme Fox, and Avita and other brands. Later, Dongfeng Landmap may also adopt this model.

▲ HUAWEI INSIDE MODE

Finally, the Hongmeng Zhixing model involves Huawei’s in-depth participation, from product definition, user research, channel retail to marketing and other aspects. At present, Hongmeng Zhixing’s cooperative products mainly include Wenjie, which cooperates with Salis, and Zhijie, which cooperates with Chery. At the same time, Huawei’s Hongmeng Zhixing project with BAIC and JAC is also on the way.

In short, the first two models are mainly for enterprise customers (Huawei to B), while Hongmeng Zhixing is directly for consumers (Huawei to C).

In the past few years, with the popularity of the Wenjie brand, the outside world once believed that Huawei’s main energy in automobiles had shifted to the Hongmeng Zhixing model, and this model was officially upgraded to Hongmeng Zhixing this year, while the earliest proposed HI model always seemed tepid.

But at the beginning of this year, this model also underwent a new change.

Just last week, at the Changan Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, took the initiative to stand on the HI model.

Zhu Huarong pointed out that although the Hongmeng Zhixing model still has room for discussion in terms of following industrial laws, meeting policy requirements, and protecting user interests, the HUAWEI INSIDE (HI) model is undoubtedly fully consistent with these key factors.

The HI model has promoted the strong alliance between Changan and Huawei, achieving complementary advantages, fully stimulating the core competitiveness of both parties, and forming a close community of interests. This cooperation model not only conforms to the general trend of industrial development, but also brings higher-quality products and services to users, ensuring the fundamental interests of all parties.

At the same time, it is understood that Huawei and BAIC will also launch a HI model model again this year.

And Huawei’s cooperation with Lantu this time seems to have also moved towards the HI model.

From this perspective, the Huawei HI model is not going away, but will continue to be a very important automotive business model for Huawei.

However, slightly different from the previous HI, Huawei has announced that it will establish a joint venture with Changan Automobile to spin off the automotive intelligence-related business and operate it separately. Changan will become one of the shareholders, which also means that HI model companies may participate in the new joint venture. Lantu is also expected to become one of the shareholders of Huawei’s Changan joint venture in the future.

This cooperation reflects the complementarity of technologies and resources between the two parties, and is also the result of joint research and innovation between the two companies in the field of smart vehicles. Through this cooperation, Huawei and Dongfeng Motor are expected to jointly promote the advancement of smart vehicle technology and bring new product options to the market.

▲ Hongmeng Zhixing Model

On the other hand, Hongmeng Zhixing is still making great progress. After the launch of the new M7, it quickly set off a sales whirlwind. This year, it has surpassed its ideal for two consecutive weeks and become the best new car company in a single week.

After the launch of the M9, orders also exceeded 54,000 units.

At the same time, the Smart S7 jointly launched by Huawei and Chery has also begun mass production and delivery.

In addition, according to media reports, Huawei, BAIC and JAC will cooperate through Hongmeng Zhixing, and will also launch the "X world" brand. It is expected that new products will also be available to consumers this year.

Overall, Huawei’s automotive business is gradually becoming clearer, and many domestic auto brands are expected to usher in a comprehensive upgrade through cooperation with Huawei.

Conclusion: Huawei Landmap cooperation can be expected in the future

At the beginning of this year, Lantu Automobile announced last year’s sales results, reaching 50,552 units. It achieved its target of 50,000 units set in 2023. Compared with the previous year, Lantu Automobile achieved a significant increase in annual sales of 160%.

Today’s announcement of this strategic cooperation heralds the in-depth cooperation between Dongfeng Lantu and Huawei in the field of smart car technology, which will further promote the development of the smart car industry and bring consumers a smarter and safer travel experience.

In addition, this cooperation is also expected to play a positive role in Lantu’s influence and sales growth.

In terms of building high-end cars, the Xingtu brand is undoubtedly the leader from behind. Not only has it successfully established the high-end image of Chinese brands, but the market performance is also very awesome. The sales volume exceeded 68,800 in the first July of this year, an increase of 28.3% year-on-year.

In the face of a serious domestic market, the Xingtu brand has advanced hand in hand in the field of fuel vehicles and new energy, and its product strength has played an important role.

A few days ago, the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue was officially launched, and the price of 4 versions of the new car was 193,900 yuan – 233,900 yuan. Compared with the old models, the practicality and technological sense of the new car have been upgraded, which further enriches the product matrix of the Xingtu brand and helps the Xingtu brand continue to make efforts.

With the headlights of the styling series, it creates a good visual effect; the taillights adopt a through-type shape, and the exhaust layout of the two sides is double, which greatly increases the sporty atmosphere.

In addition to the stylish appearance, the 2025 Lanyue also adds a sky blue color scheme, the texture of the car paint looks more advanced, providing consumers with more choices. In addition, the car also adds a chassis guard to take care of the user’s car.

Interior upgrade, luxurious and practical

Entering the car, the 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, 15.6-inch multimedia screen, and 12.3-inch entertainment screen for the co-pilot bring a full sense of technology to the 2025 model.

At the same time, the new car’s million-dollar luxury interior is advanced to make people’s eyes shine.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4970 * 1940 * 1792mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, creating a good seven-seat space. In particular, the third row of space is the largest in the same class. From the data point of view: the sitting height is 274mm, the leg space is 804mm, and the head space is 961mm. Compared with some models’ nominal seven-seat cars, the third row of the 2025 Xingtu Lunar Range is not only wide in space, but also has electric adjustable seats. The large space really lives up to its name.

In terms of comfort, the Queen’s co-pilot + exclusive main driver is also a major attraction of the new car. The front seat cushions and backrests have functions such as heating and ventilation, as well as five massage modes, which greatly enhance the driving comfort.

In addition, compared to some current models that use touch keys for operation, the 2025 model has added physical buttons to the in-car control. For drivers, it is more convenient to operate blindly, and its practical effect is significantly enhanced.

Intelligent advanced, non-sensory interconnection

In terms of intelligence, the 2025 model is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car-grade chip, and the overall processing speed is also very fast. A variety of commonly used functions can be found at the bottom of the screen.

Secondly, the new car also upgraded the Hicar 4.0 system, bringing new intelligent experiences such as non-sensory interconnection and mobile phone ecology, making human-machine interaction smoother. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a 23-speaker sound system, bringing consumers the ultimate sound experience.

It has to be said that in terms of configuration, the 2025 Xingtu Luoyue fully demonstrates the more the better. Various industry-leading configurations are currently reflected in this car. For example, the front row dual 50W wireless charging function can meet the wireless charging of two mobile phones at the same time.

In terms of intelligent safety, the 2025 model is equipped with a high-end ADAS driver assistance system, including HWA highway driver assistance, NOC high-speed navigation driver assistance, advanced driver assistance, intelligent avoidance, HPA memory parking function, and MEB low-speed reversing emergency braking function, providing comprehensive protection in safe driving.

Coupled with master-class chassis tuning and Bogner’s 6th generation intelligent four-wheel drive system, it brings comprehensive advancements in power handling and further enhances the driving experience of the 2025 model.

In the opinion of "Car Circle": Why is the reputation of Xingtu Lanyue so good? That is the excellent product quality.

A car owner had an accident while driving across the desert. The vehicle rolled over more than seven times in a row, and the vehicle was not damaged much, and the people in the car were also unscathed. Out of great trust in the safety of Xingtu Lunar Landing, the owner soon bought a new Lunar Landing car.

Excellent product strength has created the high quality of the Xingtu brand, and also made everyone have a soft spot for Xingtu Lanyue. With the launch of the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue, the highlights of safety, comfort and intelligence have been blessed to consolidate the competitiveness of its products. I believe this car will definitely sell well in the end point market.

As an automaker with a deep brand heritage, FAW Toyota has established a good reputation in the hearts of consumers for many years with its reliable quality, advanced technology and excellent service. In the past three years, FAW Toyota’s annual retail sales of new cars have exceeded 800,000 units, with sales of 800,018 units in 2023, an increase of 4.1% year-on-year. It is the only car company that has achieved positive growth among mainstream Japanese joint venture car brands. In today’s highly competitive auto market, independent brands and joint venture brands, new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles are fighting, and FAW Toyota has always occupied an important position in the market with its own strength and continuous innovation spirit.

As a joint venture manufacturer, FAW Toyota’s three comprehensive strategies of "Comprehensive Response to National Policies, Comprehensive Intelligent Hybrid, and Comprehensive High-end" are important guidelines for its development. This not only reflects FAW Toyota’s sense of social responsibility and forward-looking, enabling it to provide consumers with more environmentally friendly and efficient travel options in the context of environmental protection and energy transformation, but also contributes to the sustainable development of the country. The comprehensive high-end strategy enables FAW Toyota to occupy a place in the high-end market.

With the release of the IT’S TiME 2.0 technology brand, it marks a major breakthrough for FAW Toyota in technological innovation. The full deployment of the third-order intelligent electric hybrid dual engine, Toyota Space smart space and Toyota Pilot high-end intelligent drive brings consumers a more intelligent, comfortable and safe driving experience.

The overall market performance trend is good, and the sales volume is stable and has exceeded 70,000 for 3 consecutive months. To be able to move forward steadily in such a highly invaded market environment is inseparable from FAW Toyota’s own strong car-making ability and product strength that consumers trust.

The intensity of competition in the 2024 automotive market is obvious to all, especially with the decline in the cost of new energy, "the same price of gasoline and electricity" is like a missile thrown at fuel vehicles, squeezing their market share. Coupled with the white-hot competition among brands and the intensifying price war, the survival environment of fuel vehicles can be described as even more difficult. Under the dual pressure of sales and profitability, FAW Toyota has not only maintained a stable growth trend, but also its market share of fuel vehicles has risen. The strong competitiveness is a strong demonstration of FAW Toyota’s continued influence in traditional fields.

According to the data released by FAW Toyota, the new August sales of 9,264 units, an increase of 178% compared with the previous month. The new Asian Dragon was launched in July this year, providing three power 9 configurations, priced from 178,800 yuan. Looking at the sales from January to August 2024, FAW Toyota sold 463,000 units, and the TNGA-K high-end models represented by the new Asian Dragon sold 235,000 units, accounting for 50.8%, an increase of 3.9% year-on-year.

This data fully demonstrates that FAW Toyota’s comprehensive high-end transformation achievements have accelerated and its brand diversification has entered a new level. This not only helps to enhance brand competitiveness, highlight brand characteristics, but also helps to form differentiated competition with other brands, attract more high-end consumers, and expand its market share. And for the product itself, the comprehensive high-end transformation has promoted product upgrades, improved product quality and performance, and improved consumers’ driving experience.

As a representative of Chinese luxury new energy brands, JK’s participation in the 2023 European Car Body Conference fully confirmed the absolute strength of Chinese cars to enter the world stage. JK 009’s large-scale integrated die-casting aluminum body became the only Chinese luxury pure electric MPV rear-end aluminum body on display at the conference by virtue of its innovative technology to subvert traditional MPVs. The audience showed great interest and conducted in-depth research and discussion on it.

Extreme Krypton 009 engineers shared the body structure and technical logic on the spot, deconstructing the innovative breakthrough of the integrated die-casting aluminum body from multiple dimensions. The integrated die-casting rear-end aluminum body displayed by Extreme Krypton 009 is by far the largest mass production in the automotive industry in the world, and has achieved full-stack self-research in terms of technology and materials. At the same time, the integrated die-casting aluminum body surpasses the current mainstream die-casting technology in terms of equipment, materials and structural design. Experts and professionals at the meeting responded strongly to this. Extreme Krypton 009 body technology is tantamount to a "technological revolution" in the automotive industry, which refreshes the international people’s understanding of China’s automotive body technology.

"The most versatile" body technology, redefining MPV safety standards

The "China Top Ten Body Selection" is highly professional and authoritative in the industry. The jury team is composed of senior experts in different fields, evaluating dimensions covering materials, processes, structures, designs, etc., and conducting a comprehensive review of safety, comfort and other indicators that consumers are concerned about. Extreme Krypton 009 uses a large number of 2000MPa high-strength rigid materials to ensure sufficient body strength and stiffness from the selection of materials. At the same time, through the optimization of the body structure and process, the top pressure when the vehicle is turned over is decomposed to protect the safety of the occupants. Among them, the TWB thermoforming soft and hard laser welding process welds materials of different strengths and the same thickness together in the A-pillar and B-pillar areas to meet the vehicle’s needs for different deformations of the same part; while the FDS flow drill screw technology forms a high connection strength with the high rotation speed and axial pressure generated by special equipment, making the connectors tighter and more stable, achieving the effect of smaller body deformation and better sealing. Extreme krypton 009’s excellence in body technology has reached a luxury that far exceeds the industry standard, and has been highly recognized by the jury.

With the support of top-level body technology and comprehensive R & D system, JK spent 1.30 billion forging the world’s largest 7200-ton giant die-casting machine in the automotive industry, thus creating an integrated die-casting rear-end aluminum body, 1.4m long and 1.6m wide, reducing nearly 800 welding points, reducing the amount of deformation by 16% when encountering impact, and improving the bending stiffness by 11%. Through the innovative four-stage collision partition strategy, a two-stage detachable buffer structure is set, which not only brings safer rear-end protection, but also helps users better reduce the maintenance cost after the collision.

As the world’s first native luxury pure electric MPV, Krypton 009 has created a 720 ° all-round "no dead angle" safety protection design based on the actual use of the user’s car. In addition to the integrated die-cast aluminum body at the rear end, it has also made great efforts at the top and bottom. The top of the body of Krypton 009 is protected by 128kN top pressure, and the roof can bear up to 13 tons. It can efficiently absorb and disperse collision energy from different directions, prevent cabin deformation, and protect the safety of occupants. It can be called the "top ceiling". The bottom is the first "ten grids" battery anti-collision structure, 133mm aluminum side anti-collision beam, with "ten grids" multi-layer energy absorption structure, which brings layers of collision buffer to the battery when it is hit, builds a great wall of battery safety, and realizes the industry’s highest battery safety requirements of "no heat spread and no fire". So far, all models of Extreme Krypton have been delivered for more than 170,000 units, and still maintain the industry’s only safety record of "zero battery fire", which is the best proof of the safety of Extreme Krypton batteries.

In addition, the Krypton 009 also achieved an amazing 36,450 N · m/deg torsional stiffness, casting a veritable "steel and iron bone", which reached more than 3 times that of the traditional luxury MPV. It not only improved the passive safety protection of the vehicle, but also improved the handling and NVH performance.

Within a month, it won both domestic and international recognition. The revolutionary body technology of "China Player" Krypton 009 not only conveys the forward-looking safety concept of China’s pure electric luxury MPV, but also a key technical endorsement for domestic brands to go global. In the future, Krypton will also increase automobile technology innovation, continuously promote the development and progress of the national automobile industry, and enhance the influence of Chinese automobiles on the international stage.
