Thread: European and Ameristani Car Manufacturers Increase their Chinese Investments.

^Do they have a majority position or are they one of many with a % that requires "assistance", from others, to become the majority position in a boardroom vote?

One wonders how the international majors in any industry reached their market dominance. Not their financial power by any chance.

Think what a polluted shithole that will turn into. Like the chinkies need another one.

How about we change the title of this thread to Eurostani and American cars?

Better to change it to "Ohoh's incessant chinky brown nosing".

Sometimes I get the impression English is not your first language.

What is it, chinky?

Huawei drives ahead with smart car unit

"Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co has recently established a smart car solutions business unit, as part of its larger goal of driving a connected and smart future. "The automotive market is undergoing a profound information and communications technology-driven transformation," Huawei said in an internal document.

"Huawei will not make cars. Focusing on developing ICT technologies, Huawei will enable car manufacturers to build better smart vehicles. Having accumulated 30 years of experience in offering ICT technologies, Huawei will be an ICT component supplier for smart cars."

The newly formed business unit will offer end-to-end smart vehicle solutions including ICT components and solutions for car manufacturers, according to the document.

"As a leading provider of ICT products and solutions, Huawei needs to gear up its expansion into various industries, including the smart vehicle sector," said Raymond Wang, partner of global consultancy Roland Berger.

"Carmakers are accelerating the push for making a major foray into connected and intelligent cars. With advantages in areas like 5G technologies, in-vehicle computing platforms and cloud services, Huawei will be an enabler that helps carmakers to offer next-generation smart products."

The new move came as Huawei faces stiff headwinds from the US government's decision to put it on a blacklist.
The US administration accuses Huawei of posing risks to its national security. Huawei has repeatedly denied the accusations, claiming the charges were not supported by any factual evidence.

Against this backdrop, Huawei plans to sell its majority share in an undersea cable unit. The company will sell its 51 percent of Huawei Marine Networks, a global submarine network provider and a joint venture between Huawei and United Kingdom-based undersea cable company Global Marine Systems.

James Yan, research director at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, said considering the political headwinds, Huawei may need to shrink some businesses and focus its investment on key products and services offerings, such as the operating system, supply chain products, 5G and the smart vehicle business.

"The ban may hamper Huawei's short-term development, especially its overseas business. In the long run, Huawei may experience a low point in the near future. With a key focus in developing its operating system, Huawei will gain strong momentum in the domestic market. And it will also gear up its expansion in emerging markets globally," Yan said.

Yan noted that Huawei's new move in setting up the smart car business unit is an important aspect of Huawei's overall growth strategy.

"The smart vehicle will be a key portal that brings consumers intelligent experiences, in a move to better tap into the consumer internet of things sector. As China will soon issue licenses for the commercialization of 5G, the newly formed business unit will help Huawei to integrate its resources and become a key supplier of smart automobile electronics," Yan added.

Huawei's Business Group announced in March an all-scenario ecosystem strategy to bring consumers intelligent experiences, with the mobile phone as the main device, while other support portals include offerings such as connected vehicles, AI speakers, tablets, PCs and wearables."

^I suspect the "roof module" makes the KPL shite, affects the 0-60 time and causes overturning on bends.

But Porsche owners have had to be exceptional for many years.

Sales soar in June as Audi bucks current market performance




"Audi's China sales jumped 22.5 percent year-on-year in June to 58,788 units, helping the German premium carmaker to consolidate its position in the world's largest automotive market.
With the latest surge, Audi had delivered 311,871 vehicles from January to June in China, up 2.1 percent from the same period in 2018, according to figures released last week.

Two other major premium vehicle brands－Mercedes-Benz and BMW－haven't released China sales for June.

Audi's strong growth in June was thanks to the improved sales performance of models locally produced at FAW-Volkswagen, a Chinese joint venture which manufactures and sells Volkswagen and Audi-branded vehicles, the company said.

Statistics show that sales of China-made Audi cars in the month, which accounted for 85 percent of the total, went up 14.2 percent from June 2018.

Among others, FAW-Volkswagen delivered 14,194 of its Q5L model in June, up 64.7 percent year-on-year, consolidating its position in the popular SUV segment.
Sales of the A4L sedan in June stood at 14,256, making the model the best-selling car in its segment. Its monthly sales averaged more than 14,000 in the first half of 2019.

The Q2L SUV, which is targeted at young customers, is gaining in popularity as well, with its sales in the month up more than a third.
The brand's imported vehicles' sales grew even faster in June, with sales soaring 109 percent to 8,700, according to FAW-Volkswagen.
Of them, it delivered 2,413 Q7 SUVs, up 85.4 percent year-on-year. Audi's flagship sedan A8L saw its June sales go up 42.7 percent from the same month last year. The combined deliveries of its three high performance cars including the R8 totaled 1,957.
FAW-Volkswagen said it expects the sales momentum to continue into the second half of the year, with sales of the models released in Q1 and Q2 growing, and a number of new models, the e-tron and the Q8, becoming available later this year.

The e-tron will be Audi's first ever electric SUV. It will be manufactured in China starting from 2020.
Audi said it will develop more high-end new energy vehicles for Chinese customers as the country is one of the fastest-evolving car markets in the world.
Liu Yigong, general manager of FAW-Volkswagen, said he expects Audi to become a leading player in China's new energy vehicle market by 2025, with 30 percent of its total sales in the country being such vehicles
.
Audi has been the best-selling premium vehicle brand in China for the past three decades."

Stupid cuntos really. Short term gain for long term pain. It won't be long before the chinkies are bashing out the Q8 ripoffs like they did with the A6:
