TREE NEWS update: HIMA announced on September 15 that Seres will lead Aito’s product definition, product design, brand marketing, channel retail and service system, with Huawei’s terminal unit participating in an enabling role. Aito was jointly designed and built by Huawei and Seres, the statement said. The two partners described the arrangement as an important outcome of cross-industry integration and industrial upgrading.
Huawei’s HIMA hands Aito product, sales and service operations to Seres
This is a notable handover of operational control from Huawei's HIMA to Seres, with Huawei stepping back into an enabling role. It matters because Aito was presented as a joint creation, so shifting product, brand and retail leadership to the automaker changes who owns the customer relationship and the commercial risk. The open question is whether Huawei's terminal unit can remain as influential in practice as it has been in name, and how this division of labour shapes the next Aito models.
