Huawei Launches New Smart EV Brand "Zhiqing"; Multiple Models to Debut at 2026 Beijing Auto Show

On April 12, 2026, the High-Level Forum on Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development was held in Beijing, focusing on the intelligent, green, integrated, and international advancement of new energy vehicles. At the event, Chen Wei, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power’s Intelligent Electric Product Line, announced that Huawei Intelligent Electric will launch a new brand—“Huawei Zhiqing”—with its official debut scheduled for April 22. Chen stated that the era of comprehensive intelligence has created conditions for introducing small models into the motion domain. Huawei has improved vehicle-wide control response time from the hundred-millisecond level to the millisecond level, significantly enhancing ride smoothness and range performance. The company is shifting from single-component control to fused, precise motion-domain control and plans deeper integration with the intelligent driving domain in the future, enabling an end-to-end closed-loop system from perception to execution. The Huawei Zhiqing brand has already been deployed in mass-produced vehicles. For example, all variants of the GAC Toyota bZ7, launched in March 2026, are equipped with Huawei Zhiqing’s highly integrated multi-in-one electric drive system, which achieves a motor efficiency of 97.5% and supports a platform speed of up to 22,000 RPM. Since the launch of its first drive unit in 2020, Huawei DriveONE has partnered with more than ten automakers, supporting over 50 new energy vehicle models and shipping more than 2.4 million drive units cumulatively. The 2026 Beijing Auto Show will take place from April 24 to May 3. Multiple new models deeply empowered by Huawei under its “Five Jie, Three Jing” ecosystem—including the Aito M6, Shangjie Z7 family, Zhijie V9, Huajing S, Qijing GT7, and Yijing SUV—will make their collective debut at the event.
