2 Min Read

Xiang Xingchu, Chairman of JAC, has said the first car from the new brand developed between JAC and Huawei is planned to roll off the assembly line by the end of the year and will be launched in the first half of 2025. Speaking at the China Auto Forum, which runs July 11-13, Xiang mentioned that the car has now entered the vehicle verification stage.

The first model in the new brand between JAC and Huawei is codenamed X6 and is an MPV. Huawei works with several Chinese auto producers to varying degrees. The company has three basic business models. Cooperation with JAC is based on the all-encompassing HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) level where Huawei not only provides an intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving solution but is also involved with elements including the design, production, sales, after-sales and other stages of the vehicle but stops short of actually producing the car.

This business model is the same as with Seres for the Aito brand, Chery for Luxeed, and BAIC for Stelato. The as yet unnamed brand with JAC is being positioned as ultra high-end and will be priced at around a million yuan (138,000 USD).

Currently, the first model has entered the software and hardware verification stage. Under the cooperation agreement, JAC is responsible for the overall product development of the joint models and for building a production base to achieve the delivery of them. Xiang revealed that the JAC smart factory that will be used for the production is basically complete.
