Huawei and GAC Launch 'Qijing' AI Car Brand

Huawei and GAC Debut Qijing Brand on March 17

Huawei and GAC Group unveiled their latest collaboration in the automotive space, launching a new intelligent vehicle brand named Qijing on March 17. The event featured the official debut of the brand's first model, the GT7. This vehicle represents the third generation of automobiles jointly developed by the two companies, explicitly targeting the artificial intelligence era and signaling a deeper strategic alignment.

Partnership Enters Third Generation to Target Smart Vehicle Sector

The launch of the GT7 marks a significant milestone, cementing a multi-year partnership focused on integrating advanced technology into vehicle manufacturing. By combining Huawei's Qiankun intelligent driving systems with GAC's automotive production experience, the Qijing brand is positioned to challenge competitors in the increasingly crowded smart car market. Despite the forward-looking announcement, GAC GROUP's stock (02238.HK) experienced a minor downturn on the day, closing down 1.705% with short-selling volume reaching $9.19 million, suggesting the market is waiting for concrete sales and performance data before fully pricing in the venture's potential.
