| Huawei expands smart car partnership Chongqing Changan Automobile will use its semi-conductors China’s Huawei Technologies is expanding its smart car partnership with state-owned Chongqing Changan Automobile Co Ltd to include the design and development of auto-use semiconductors. The two companies, which unveiled their smart car tie-up in November, have been working together informally on chips for the last few months, two of the sources said. A third source said they might soon form a joint venture for chip development. Huawei moved to electric vehicles after US sanctions hammered its global smartphone business. In addition to the deal with Changan to develop smart cars under a joint as yet unnamed brand, Huawei is also planning EVs and is in talks to take control of a small domestic automaker’s EV unit, sources have said. Huawei’s new chip partnership with Changan would come amidst a global semiconductor shortage that has hit automakers particularly hard. https://fudzilla.com/news/automotive...ar-partnership |
