TREE NEWS update: AITO will formally withdraw from HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit and Huawei-branded stores on January 1, 2027, multiple dealers were told by Huawei. Dealers will then choose independently whether to represent Huawei, HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit (the other four brands) or AITO, while AITO will keep its existing delivery centers to support vehicle delivery and after-sales service. Huawei had not responded as of publication.
AITO to exit HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit and Huawei stores on Jan 1, 2027
AI take
The split matters less as a technology story than as a channel story: AITO is trading a shared cockpit and retail footprint for independent dealer alignment, which puts the burden of maintaining showroom traffic and brand identity squarely on AITO itself. Dealers now face a genuine portfolio choice, and how they split between AITO and the remaining HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit brands will shape local coverage and service reach. Whether the retained delivery centers prove sufficient to hold customer experience together is the open question.
