Huawei and BAIC launching the first Fuel SUV equipped with HarmonyOS
At Beijing Automotives ( AKA BAIC) shared a preview of the first fuel SUV model that will incorporate the in-vehicle Huawei HarmonyOS system. It’s the first time when Huawei is working on a fuel car and featuring it with Huawei smart car solution instead of intelligent electric cars.
BAIC released the preview with the tagline” All things interconnected, wisdom and enlightenment” informing the arrival of the world’s first fuel SUV equipped with Huawei smart car system. We may expect the car to come with other exclusive technology of the tech firm Huawei, such as in-vehicle Kirin chip, HiLink solution, and more.
Another report revealed that there are two models of BAIC- Beijing X5 and Beijing X7 Plus that are scheduled to launch in the future. Adding to this, the first model will come with L2+ driving guidance technology.
However, it’s still unclear that which one model will have the HarmonyOS. We have to wait for the next announcement from the company to share more details of the model with us.
Huawei HarmonyOS:
Early in June, Huawei introduced HarmonyOS 2.0 for smartphones with all-new distributive capabilities to provide one-stop solutions and smart cross-platform connections.
The second level of self-developed kernel architecture in HarmonyOS establishes a smart connection between smartphones, laptops, smart accessories, tablets, even smart vehicles too.
Huawei and BAIC Collaboration:
In April this year, Huawei and BAIC jointly launched the ArcFox Alpha S Smart car series consisting of four models. This whole series features Huawei fast charging technology, HarmonyOS smart car cockpit, Kirin 990A chipset, and 9 radars + 9 camera autonomous driving system.
At present, the roadmap inbuild in the system covers major cities likes Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in China. But the company is working to expand it soon. As for the price, the basic version is priced at 251,900 CNY and HI version started at 388,900 CNY.
China’s well-known car manufacturer, Changan Automobile has denied rumors of changing its collaboration car brand name from Avita to “Huawei Avita”.
The carmaker said that Avita technology is building an international high-end SEV (Smart Electric Vehicle) brand. This firm is led by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL.
These companies empower different parts of the Avita technologies including vehicle R&D, smart manufacturing, smart car solutions, and smart power ecosystem.
The firms are working in synergy to create a new generation of smart electric vehicle technology called CHN. It has a new architecture, strong computing, and high-voltage charging.
According to the information, AVITA or AVATR is jointly created by Huawei, Changan Auto, and CATL. These companies built battery solutions and vehicle manufacturing done by Changan Auto.
Also, Huawei has no shares in Avita but it supplies important hardware including electric motors and software for smart driving, connectivity, and infotainment system powered by the HarmonyOS operating system.
Avita is looking to unveil the new Avita 11 later this year, while the company has successfully completed a large number of delivery in 2022.
Last week, Avita announced the Avita 11 single motor vehicle, which is a new version of 2022’s Avita 11 dual-motor four-wheel drive.
Huawei is working with its car partner to build better EVs and smart cars in China. However, the company’s recent leak of a 600kW Huawei charger station shows that it’s far ahead of the competition such as Tesla.
Recently, some live images of Huawei’s exclusive 600kW supercharging station leaked online. The charging station is located in the open in a Chinese industrial area. The shape is square, and there is a cooling device at the bottom.
The specs details on the charger reveal “Huawei Digital Power Technology Co. LTD” as the manufacturer. While this new unit is manufactured in December last year.
The size dimensions are 295 x 340 x 1700 mm and it’s very tall and painted in red Huawei color.
The model number of this charger is DT600L1-CNA1 and it supports China’s national standard 2015 DC fast charging, single-gun output, and the output voltage range is 200-1000V. On the other hand, the maximum output current is 600A, and the maximum output power is 600kW.
While searching, we found that this is called “FusionCharger” and it’s a liquid-cooled charger. It has a charging hub that ranges up to 3.5 meters, which reason it’s using a thick body.
Some industry experts say that Huawei planned to rollout these chargers in 2035 but the company is already giving a test drive for the limited users in advance. We could also take it as an advance move to cover the upcoming Huawei AITO Wenji M9 model, which will launch later this year.
Similar superchargers are designed with two charging ports and a rated voltage of 1000V. The rated total output power is 360kW. The output power of a single charging cable is 180kW, and the maximum output current is 250A.
Faster than Tesla:
In comparison, Tesla’s current generation of V3 chargers can only provide 250kW power. Also, the upcoming V4 supercharger is expected to take it up to 350 kW. Still, the current exposure of the Huawei charger keeps it faster than Tesla.
But we need to wait for the final release to know more about the specs of this 600kW Huawei EV charger.

Car maker, AVATR (Avita) announced a new single-motor version of the Avita 11 smart car that will launch on March 19 and it will be packed with Huawei Hi smart car solutions.
Avatr is a joint venture between Changan Automobile, lithium-ion battery provider CATL, and Huawei, the Avatr 11 is underpinned by the EP1 platform.
Huawei has no shares in Avatr but it supplies important hardware including electric motors and software for smart driving, connectivity, and infotainment system powered by the HarmonyOS operating system.
Huawei said, “Avita 11 single-motor version will make its public debut as a marathon pilot car, leading a new challenge with smart driving!”
Avita 11:
Last year, Huawei launched Avita 11 series which has dual-motor four-wheel drive. Talking about the specifications, the respective car surfs on the new-generation electric vehicle technology.
Further, it has a capacity of accelerating a range of 680/555 kilometers with a maximum external power of 425 kilowatts. The agile vehicle also brings along the fastest zero-to-hundred acceleration, which is 3.98 seconds.
Additionally, Avita 11 packs an ultra-long battery life version. Alternatively, this high-voltage battery provides a lifespan of 116kWh. Moreover, it supports fast charging of 750 V with a maximum fast charging speed of 240 kW.
