Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 23, Dongfeng Motor Corporation ("Dongfeng Motor") and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei") officially signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement in Wuhan, pledging to deepen collaboration across intelligent vehicle technologies, enterprise digitalization, and ecosystem co-development.
Under the agreement, the two companies will leverage their respective strengths in industrial resources and core technologies to advance joint innovation. Dongfeng Motor will draw on its robust experience in vehicle R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, sales, and services, along with its comprehensive industrial footprint, to collaborate with Huawei in key areas such as intelligent driving assistance, smart cockpit systems, vehicle control, connectivity, and electric components. Huawei, in turn, will bring its expertise in cloud computing, AI, big data, and the industrial Internet of Things to support Dongfeng Motor in digitizing and upgrading its entire value chain—from R&D and manufacturing to supply chain management.
The partnership also includes plans to establish a joint innovation lab focused on developing in-car software platforms, ADAS technologies, and AI applications for various scenarios.
In addition, the two sides will work with Dongfeng Motor's sub-brands—including VOYAH, MHERO, eπ, and Dongfeng Nissan—to build a diversified portfolio of intelligent vehicles tailored to different market segments and global consumer needs. They also aim to expand the collaboration into the commercial vehicle sector, co-creating an open, win-win ecosystem for intelligent mobility.
This expanded cooperation marks a new milestone in the long-standing partnership between Dongfeng Motor and Huawei. Since first signing a strategic agreement in 2018, the two companies have proactively prepared for the shift toward electrification and connectivity, laying the groundwork for next-generation smart new energy vehicle technologies.
