Huawei Yinwang clarifies 'Jing' vs 'Jie' roles: complementary, not competitive

Yinwang reaffirms its 'electronic screw' strategic positioning, avoiding conflict with vehicle manufacturing. Jin Yuzhi first explains the relationship between 'Jing' and 'Jie': HarmonyOS Smart Mobility ('Jie') builds full-stack showcases for vehicles above 300k RMB, while models below that also need showcases, leading to 'Jing'. The two are complementary—'Jie' focuses on vehicles above 300k, 'Jing' on those below, with minor overlap but a shared goal of implementing the 'electronic screw' strategy. To popularize smart driving, Huawei has launched authorized experience centers. Currently, Qijing is the first brand to join, with more expected. Jin also reveals that Yinwang's R&D investment in 2026 will reach 18 billion RMB, with 7-8 billion dedicated to computing power alone, requiring another 70-80 billion over five years. This clear segmentation reduces cooperation costs for automakers: high-end models can adopt HarmonyOS for full solutions, while cost-effective models use 'Jing' for accessible smart driving. For the 50+ cooperating models, this complementary model will accelerate smart driving technology's penetration into broader markets.
