Stelato Huawei-BAIC Dealer Network Begins Opening Stores

The choice to run Stelato inside the existing HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit channel rather than build a standalone network is the detail worth noting: it lets Huawei-backed retail capacity absorb a new vehicle brand without the cost and delay of a separate dealer build-out. That matters most for BAIC, which gains distribution reach without duplicating infrastructure, and for rival automakers competing for the same Huawei-linked showroom space. Whether this shared-channel model scales across other Huawei-partnered brands is the open question.
