Seres, Huawei renew 5-year pact; AITO plant driverless tests rely on ADS

KEY FACTS

  • Seres and Huawei reached a new five-year cooperation agreement in October, keeping their partnership stable.
  • At the AITO plant, every step from final assembly roll-off to road testing uses Huawei ADS for driverless testing.
  • Dozens of AITO M9 vehicles completed loop and highway tests fully unmanned on closed roads inside the plant.
  • The new AITO M8 has arrived in stores, with Seres handling AITO marketing and most channel operations.
  • Seres has developed its range extender to the fifth generation, and the M9 Ultimate carries a 2.0T high-output range extender.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Huawei ADS has extended from production vehicles to the plant's roll-off and road-test stages, showing the partnership has reached deep into the manufacturing process rather than stopping at intelligent-driving supply. Seres keeps the marketing channels, in-house range extenders and chassis, using Huawei technology while holding on to its own product-definition authority. Whether this division of labor can be replicated by other HIMA partners is worth watching.
