GM Reboots CarPlay; Maserati Taps Huawei and JAC for EV Production

GM Reboots CarPlay; Maserati Taps Huawei and JAC for EV Production

In September 2026, General Motors announced it would reintegrate Apple CarPlay, with the new split-screen interface to be used first in the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. In the same period, Maserati plans to partner with Huawei and JAC, adopting the HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility platform, intelligent driving and electric drive technologies, and JAC manufacturing to restart its pure electric models through SKD final assembly in Italy. In 2025, Maserati's global shipments were less than 8,000 units, with an adjusted loss of 198 million euros and a negative profit margin of 27.3%. The two cases show that the reverse export of Chinese automotive technology is accelerating, but the results remain to be tested.

Renault-Geely Expand Brazil Investment as Maserati Weighs Huawei, JAC Tie-Up

In September 2025, Renault and Geely announced an additional EUR 319 million investment in Brazil through a joint venture, with their total investment in Brazil from 2025 to 2027 reaching EUR 899 million, giving Geely access to Renault's existing plants and dealer network. In the same period, reports said Maserati planned to cooperate with Huawei and JAC to develop two electric vehicles, adopting an SKD model with body-in-white from Hefei and assembly in Italy; the brand's global shipments in 2025 were less than 8,000 units, with an adjusted operating loss of EUR 198 million. Both paths point to a combination of technology export and localized production capacity.

HIMA Adjusts AITO Partnership: Seres Takes Lead, Huawei Returns as Tech Supplier

HIMA Adjusts AITO Partnership: Seres Takes Lead, Huawei Returns as Tech Supplier

On September 16, 2026, HIMA adjusted the AITO cooperation model: Seres took over product definition, design, production, marketing, channels, and after-sales, while Huawei returned to being a technology supplier. The adjustment is limited to AITO; Luxeed and other brands remain led by Huawei. The context is that Seres expects its profit in the first half of 2026 to drop by about 60%, and a third party said Huawei's old agreement took a commission of about 50,000 yuan per vehicle. The new arrangement may ease profit pressure and create two collaboration paths within HIMA, providing a reference for cooperation in the auto industry and the division of responsibilities for going overseas.
