TREE NEWS update: Seres on September 17 denied reports that its AITO brand will be pulled from Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Mobility and Huawei retail stores starting January 1 next year, calling the claim untrue. People familiar with the matter said Seres and Huawei will deepen cooperation and move AITO toward dedicated, exclusive retailing, with AITO remaining inside the HarmonyOS Smart Mobility system. From January 1, 2027, Huawei stores will split into AITO-only outlets and those selling Zunjie, Xiangjie, Zhijie and Shangjie, the division to be completed on that date.
Seres Denies AITO Will Leave Huawei Stores
AI take
The denial matters less than the reported direction of travel: AITO moving toward exclusive retailing while staying inside HarmonyOS Smart Mobility suggests Huawei is reorganizing how its automotive partners share shelf space, not exiting the business. That distinction affects Seres, the other branded lines named in the split, and Huawei's channel partners, who face a reallocation of showroom capacity. Whether the exclusive-retail shift and the January 1, 2027 division are executed as described, and how the other brands are positioned, is the open question.
