Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA, 鸿蒙智行) is collaboration automotive brand initiated by Chinese technology company Huawei. Under the HIMA brand, Huawei participates in product definition, design, marketing, user experience, quality control and provides intelligent vehicle software and hardware for traditional automobile manufacturers.

The members of the alliance include AITO (Seres Group), Luxeed (Chery), BAIC Motor, and JAC Motors.[1][2]

Although the English names of each alliance brand are not closely related, their Chinese names are all named after the Chinese character "界", such as 问界(AITO) and 智界 (Luxeed). Due to the different ownership rights of the English name and Chinese name of the alliance brands, the English trademarks belong to the alliance manufacturers, while the Chinese trademarks belong to Huawei.[3][4]

History

In December 2021, Huawei announced the launch of AITO brand and unveiled its first vehicle AITO M5, the first vehicle Huawei developed with Seres Group. The hardware of the car was based on Seres SF5 SUV.[5]

In June 2023, Huawei acquired the AITO trademark in Chinese language (问界/Wenjie) from Seres Group.[3]

In November 2023, Huawei announced the foundation of Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance on the news press of Luxeed S7, the first model Huawei collaborates with Chery.[1]

Operation

According to Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG and CEO of Smart Car Solution BU, that, Huawei will not directly manufacture cars while dedicated to helping car companies sell their vehicles through product design, supply chain management, quality control, software ecosystem, user experience management, brand marketing, and sales channels.[6][7]

Under the alliance, each Huawei's partner manufacturer will specialize in certain vehicle category and class and each manufacturer's product lineup is non-overlapping, and will all be combined under the Huawei's comprehensive solution.[7]

Technology

The HarmonyOS Cockpit is Huawei's solution for electric and autonomous cars powered by its Kirin line of a system-on-chip (SoC), augmented reality head-up displays (AR-HUD) and smart instrument cluster. Huawei opened up the APIs of HarmonyOS Cockpit to help automobile OEMs, suppliers and ecosystem partners in developing different features.[8][9]

AITO vehicles are equipped with ADS (Autonomous Driving System) developed by Huawei. For the current ADS 2.0, it is composite of 128 LiDARs, 11 HD cameras, 3 MMW radars, and 12 ultra sonic radars and Huawei self-developed chipset.

The ADS is trained on real-world driving data and can achieved Level 2+ autonomous driving. It can perform human-like judgment and operation such as accurate turning, giving way to pedestrians, recognizing and avoiding irregular obstacles, as well as detecting and avoiding animals. It can also perform automatic and valet parking.

According to Huawei, the ADS 2.0 was priced at 36,000 RMB (~US$5200) per vehicle when sold to partner manufacturer.[10]

Huawei's partnership with automobile manufacturers

Huawei's partnership with automobile manufacturers has taken the form of three models, the standardized parts supply model, the "Huawei Inside" (HI) model, and the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA). [2][4]

  • Tier 1 Standardized parts supply - Huawei provides automobile parts and components like Lidar, electric motor, cameras and power management to car manufacturers, the most basic model.
  • Tier 2 Huawei Inside (HI) - Huawei provide full-stack smart car solution and Huawei's smart cockpit to car manufacturers. In this mode, Huawei empowers vehicle intelligence through the supply of both software and hardware, but does not participate in the design, development, and marketing of the vehicles. Arcfox (BAIC) and Avatr (Changan) are taking this model currently.
  • Tier 3 Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA) - Huawei provides a complete set of vehicle solutions and participates in product definition, design, marketing, user experience, quality control and delivery. While the manufacturers are responsible for vehicle manufacturing.
