Transfers Huawei’s Automotive Business to Consumer Business
Huawei Consumer BG and Smart Car Solutions BU are being integrated, and the car BU will be assigned to the Consumer BG Management Committee, with Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s senior vice president and CEO of consumer business, as the overall head.
In terms of organizational structure, Huawei has three major BGs: carrier BG, enterprise BG and consumer BG, as well as two BUs: Huawei cloud business and smart car solutions business.
The Smart Car Solutions BU was established in May 2019 and is managed by Huawei’s ICT Management Committee, which is headed by Huawei’s rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun. The division is positioned to provide incremental components for smart grid-connected vehicles, such as smart driving, smart cabin, smart electric, smart networking, and cloud services.
Zhijun Xu once said that every business of smart car solutions is related to Huawei’s traditional ICT (information and communication technology) business, and that smart car solutions may seem like many businesses, but they are all extensions of an existing industry in order to meet the smart grid-connected car scene.
Huawei’s Consumer Business BG has its own independent management committee, headed by Yu Chengdong. Recently, Yu Chengdong has begun to participate in external public activities on behalf of Huawei’s smart car business.
The news said that the above two departments have been merged at the investment level, personnel and business has not yet changed, the structure and business logic level is likely to have been in the planning.
In September this year, Xu Zhijun said publicly that this year will invest more than $500 million to promote the development of Huawei’s smart car solutions business, and do not consider profit in the short term.

On the other hand, the integration of the auto business with the consumer business and the further enhancement of its to C attributes, combined with its comprehensive layout in the field of smart car technology, has once again triggered Huawei’s car-building speculation. Xu Zhijun once proudly said that Huawei will be as powerful in the automotive industry as it is in the mobile phone industry ten years from now. ……
