The 22nd China Automobile Industry Development (TEDA) International Forum (hereinafter referred to as "TEDA Automobile Forum"), jointly sponsored by China Automobile Technology Research Center Co., Ltd., China Automobile Engineering Society, China Automobile Industry Association, and China Automobile Newspaper, was held in Binhai New District, Tianjin from September 17 to September 20, 2026. This year's TEDA Automotive Forum will focus on the annual theme of "building a foundation of wisdom and green, ecological accumulation, and win-win cooperation", and invite key guests to conduct in-depth discussions. On September 19, Wang Chao, vice president of Huawei Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and president of Huawei Digital Energy Intelligent Electric Product Line, gave a speech entitled "Do the hard and right thing, innovate at the bottom of the sports field, and solve the dilemma of industrial homogeneity" in "High-end Insights: Intelligent Transformation, Green Promotion, and Building a New Ecology in the Automotive Industry". Wang Chao believes that the automobile industry has a large investment and high technology density. When the scale is not large-scale upward, it should focus on user value. Huawei Intelligent Engine has taken the task of accelerating electrification as its mission, focusing on the bottom-level innovation of the power domain and the sports domain, and has become the first in the independent Tier 1 industry, with a shipment share of more than 30% in more than 300,000 models. From 1.0 instinct safety, 2.0 instinct + redundancy safety to 3.0 global safety, the sports domain achieves millisecond-level precision safety through super components, super systems, near-end closed-loop and cross-domain fusion, and supports L3/L4 evolution. In terms of battery life, from "power-up and battery life" to motor efficiency improvement, to continuous breakthroughs of 10 kilometers, 12 kilometers, and 14 kilometers per unit of electricity to promote the upgrading of the pure electricity experience. He called on the industry to increase standardization and platformization, promote cross-car enterprise sharing platforms, adopt "common protocol + private protocol", unify high-voltage and low-voltage wiring harness interfaces, reduce internal coil development, build million-scale platforms, and enhance the global competitiveness of China's automobile industry chain. Wang Chao, Vice President of Huawei Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and President of Huawei Digital Energy Smart Electric Product Line, gave the following transcript of his speech: Thank you for the invitation of TEDA International Forum. Today, he shared Huawei's new thinking in the automotive sports field, entitled "Doing the hard and right thing". Why is it so hard? I don't know if people who are in the industry this year have felt this. "Difficult" is something that the automotive industry can feel at the beginning of its journey. The automotive industry is an industry with very large investment and high technology density. In the industry, we have also experienced some exploration. In the absence of large-scale volume upward, it may become very important to focus more and explore more user value. Since joining the automotive industry, Huawei Intelligent Engine has continued to achieve breakthroughs in accelerating the electrification of the automotive industry. In 2024 and 2025, it was fortunate to become the first in the independent Tier 1 industry. At the same time, it focuses on the high-end, with a share of more than 30% of shipments in more than 300,000 models. Continuing to think about how to build a high-end user experience in the big picture is something we've been exploring. In the process of exploration, we only do two things: First, the automotive industry electrification base - power domain to do better, this stage is called the era of basic electrification. In this era, we first introduced all-in-one in the industry, and now all-in-one assembly shipments have exceeded the industry's level of more than 60%. The second is the release of AI flash charging technology in 2021, when 750 volts was still rare in the industry, thanks to the increasing number of colleagues in the automotive industry who focused on high-voltage electrification. From the past few years, whether it is smart driving, smart cockpit, or smart sports, it is an area of continuous innovation in the automotive industry. In the smart sports domain industry, from the perspective of the global industry, the AI + body intelligence paradigm is exactly the same: the brain uses AI, the body has the ability to be intelligent, the ability to cross-domain integration, and the ability to continuously achieve trajectory changes, trajectory coping, and trajectory following in the XYZ space. Innovation in the smart sports domain is continuous and future-proof. In such a process, the horizontal cross-domain opening between the domains is very critical. In the process of electric vehicles moving forward, they have now moved from basic electrification to full electrification. The first thing to build is precise safety, from a hundred millisecond level of active safety to a millisecond level of active safety, so that the evolution from L2 to L3, and then to L4 autonomous driving has the possibility of exploring higher standards, and also makes safety more precise. To achieve "car with people", the vehicle first needs to have sufficient accuracy. With the continuous upgrading of intelligent trajectory and refinement, the ability of fusion perception to perceive the body environment continues to improve, and the fineness of the body sensor's motion control of the vehicle continues to increase, so the requirements for accuracy and safety continue to increase. It is desirable to evolve from the original basic driving to the ability to "drive smoothly", from single component independent control to fusion control of various components in the sports domain. This fusion is not only the physical fusion of parts together, but also the fusion of the hardware itself, the chip itself and the software architecture to ensure the silky upgrading of the actual driving function and the driving experience. In the process of comprehensive electrification, the past may only be a single motor electrification, and now and in the future, the drive, intelligent, steering, suspension and other aspects will be fully electrified, and the electrification capacity will also pull up the time domain control capacity of the electrified base and achieve unit unification. Originally, there were milliseconds, microseconds, 10 milliseconds, and 100 milliseconds. In the future, it will be unified into a millisecond exercise base. With the improvement of automatic driving ability, "what the brain thinks, the body can do" will be achieved, and the body can do it more accurately. From the perspective of electric automation itself, the past is single-motor intelligence, and the future is motion domain intelligence. The fusion of the intelligent focusing parts of the sports domain, focusing on the XYZ fusion, the fusion of the sports domain with the smart cabin domain and the smart driving domain will be further accelerated, and the XYZ fusion control will also promote the exploration of intelligent driving. Next year may be the L3 base year, and 2028 may be the L4 base year. We will follow the driving partners and cooperate with the upgrading of the sports base to achieve the fundamental goal of "moving with people and driving with wisdom". In the process of exploration, we constantly mention the integration of various components, but we must emphasize one premise, that is, super components: electric drives should have higher efficiency, smart motions should have shorter TPL, suspension should have greater lifting power and stronger filtering capacity, and actual steering should have better followability and directionality, so as to ensure that the super system composed of super components has the strongest base capacity. From supercomponent fusion to super system, fusion control and proximal closed loop are required. Why close the proximal loop of the supercomponent? Because car body perception is divided into perception of the environment, perception of sensors, and perception of the car body, the perception accuracy of the body is the most solid basis for real safety in the future. Based on these two points, it is necessary to continuously carry out the innovation of optimal time domain, optimal kinematics and optimal dynamics. With the continuous improvement of the single-wheel control cycle of the vehicle, the overall safety of the vehicle body is achieved under the condition of ensuring wheel safety, and with the improvement of the automatic driving ability and prediction ability, the active safety is taken to a new level. Based on the all-scene sports domain solution, create the optimal driving experience, and continuously improve from the sports domain 1.0 to the sports domain 2.0 and the sports domain 3.0. Among them, 1.0 constructs a distributed experience based on instinctive security and super components. Each component combines and cooperates with each other to achieve certain functions in a unified and coordinated manner. However, the time domain matching of each part itself and the ability to explore the maximum boundary of each part itself are limited, and the ability of super parts needs to be further evolved. In the 2.0 phase, redundant security is added in addition to instinctive security. In the process of driving, wise, turning, and suspending the respective distributed evolution, the distributed evolution itself adds redundancy to the guarantee of driving, wise, turning, and suspending the respective. Coupled with the proximal closed-loop capability, the second-generation supercomponents began to form the super system. The super-system itself will use the continuous model exploration of XYZ as a growth point, while applying predictive algorithms to upgrade version 2.0. AI continues to evolve in order to explore what the next token might be; while the sports domain continues to explore, it is actually exploring what the next movement trajectory is, which is the standard of exploration. After judging the possible direction of the next step trajectory, the advanced and sensitive of the actual control algorithm can be further improved, and its feed-forward capability can be deepened, so as to ensure that redundancy safety is raised to a new height in addition to instinctive safety. In the 3.0 stage of the motion domain, to explore global security, it is necessary to communicate with the smart driving domain and the cockpit domain in real time. Based on the car scene library, the subdivision control of each scene is carried out from L1 to L6. At the same time, the global near-end closed loop (of course, the component itself must also have a near-end closed loop capability) can achieve the optimal experience of the entire scene motion domain. In addition, contextualization, practical characterization, and scenario-based experientialization will be taken as the directions for continuous exploration. Just talking about the sports field, another direction for continuous exploration is the best endurance. The battery life 1.0 stage is repeatedly talking about "power up and battery life", is this a technology? In fact, it is also a technology, but in reality, cost optimization has not reached the best state. 2.0 stage, by constantly improving the efficiency of the motor to change the endurance. But is the endurance of a car only related to the motor? It is also closely related to low-pressure power consumption, wind resistance, roll resistance, weight, and actual drive energy consumption. We will continue to explore this path after building a systematic model. From the perspective of the development of smart electric vehicles, there is no end to the exploration of each kilowatt-hour mileage. Increasing battery density, increasing drive efficiency, lower and lower power consumption, lower and lower wind resistance and roll resistance will bring continuous improvement in endurance mileage. Stage 3.0 is from 2025 to now, China's cars on the road should be able to reach 10 kilometers per kilowatt-hour. It is very clear to everyone that whether it is extended range or hybrid, the occupancy rate is decreasing, and the proportion of pure electricity is increasing significantly. In the process of such improvement, the ultimate pure electricity has become the direction pursued by all automakers. As the degree of pure electrification continues to increase, we believe that the mileage per kilowatt-hour will continue to increase, and we also believe that 10 kilometers per kilowatt-hour is only a threshold in the process of improving the battery life. What has been explored? In 2023, when we realized that motor efficiency is the main factor, we launched the CLTC with a total efficiency of 92%. In 2024, we have a Ready capacity of 10 kilometers per unit of electricity, and in 2025, we have a Technology Ready capacity of 12 kilometers per unit of electricity. In 2026, a pure electric model of 12 kilometers per unit of electricity will be mass produced immediately; in 2027, a new round of exploration will be launched towards 14 kilometers per unit of electricity. Based on these explorations, it is important to promote the continuous development of electric vehicles, making them easy to use, durable, and economically available, as a very important indicator to promote their development. As the number of kilometers per unit of electricity increases, the use of bicycle batteries will decrease significantly, and the weight of bicycles will further decrease, thus ensuring that every Chinese electric vehicle on the road has a better energy efficiency utilization rate. We are willing to explore with various car companies to achieve a new level of actual mileage per kilowatt-hour. Based on the above two things we have been doing, we have made some appeals to the industry. In 2025, Huawei's smart engine electric drive shipped more than 1 million units, and by the end of this year, more than 3 million units were shipped. In January-July 2026, the actual number of all models of A00 to D-class cars was listed, with the largest number of A-class cars, reaching 2.58 million, but the actual powertrain models and sizes were particularly large. How to realize the platformization of internal components in the industry is very important, which means that under the premise of so many shipments, the actual shipments of Bev rear steering wheels still do not exceed 200,000. We call on the industry to further realize the platform standard, and achieve a wider range of common platforms for cross-car enterprises. We have always believed that the deep integration of the smart driving domain, the cockpit domain, and the sports domain has also been trying to achieve effective synergy between the various domains. There are very complex communication protocols, very complex state machines, and very complex dynamic interfaces between each car company and each domain. It is necessary to ensure maximum platform utilization and retain the differentiated capabilities of each car company. It is recommended to use the "general protocol + private protocol" method to make an effective distinction: the general protocol can reduce the adaptation of too many models, reduce the amount of useless work, and create an open ecosystem; the private protocol can be defined according to the competitiveness of the car manufacturer's own car and user experience to ensure the differentiated experience of the vehicle. In different scenarios, this will further accelerate the development of China's automobile industry. Electric vehicle wiring harnesses have very complex high- and low-voltage wiring harness interfaces and standards, and the amount of mold development every year is very large. We also hope to make breakthroughs in high-voltage wiring harness interfaces and low-voltage wiring harness interfaces: high-voltage wiring harnesses are mainly the basis for full electrification, and low-voltage wiring harnesses are the basis between various domains. Tesla has long declared its cables to be the shortest in the world and the lightest in weight. In the case of unified standards, whether from the mold development, interface adaptation, or from the cost reduction of the mold itself, it is conducive to the rapid development of the whole industry. Strengthen industry standardization, promote product platformization, promote cross-car enterprise product platformization, and reduce internal coil development, so that China's automobile industry chain has global competitiveness. We hope to make full use of production capacity through effective industrial cooperation division of labor; we hope to reduce ineffective development and increase value development through "common standards + private standards" in smart driving areas, cockpit areas, and sports areas; we hope to reduce customization losses through standardization, and push up the threshold of high-quality development of the industry. Finally, we will increase unification efforts, reduce internal roll development, and build a single-part million-scale platform to make China's automobile industry chain globally competitive. I hope to do the hard and right thing, and hope to be with the Chinese automobile industry, with a tomorrow and a future.
