Huawei HIMA Deliveries Rise 26.5% in First Five Months as New Models Drive Growth

Huawei HIMA Deliveries continued to gain momentum as the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance recorded stronger vehicle shipments in May, reflecting improving market demand and the contribution of recently launched models. The alliance delivered 46,122 vehicles during the month, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.77% and a month-on-month rise of 40.79% compared with April. This performance marked the second consecutive month of sequential growth after deliveries increased significantly in April, indicating a recovery from the softer industry conditions experienced at the beginning of the year.

From January through May, the alliance delivered approximately 192,000 vehicles, representing a 26.5% increase compared with the same period last year. The improvement was largely supported by the introduction of several new products and the gradual ramp-up of volume deliveries. Huawei’s collaborative approach with established automotive manufacturers continues to expand its presence in China's competitive intelligent vehicle market.

Among the major contributors to the growth was the new-generation Aito M9 SUV, launched on May 27 through the partnership between Huawei and Seres Group. The vehicle entered the market with a starting price of 479,800 yuan and attracted more than 20,000 confirmed orders within 24 hours of launch. The strong initial demand highlighted continued consumer interest in premium intelligent vehicles equipped with advanced technology features.

The Luxeed V9 MPV, jointly developed by Huawei and Chery, also achieved a strong market response following its launch on May 15. Priced from 389,800 yuan, the model exceeded 10,500 confirmed orders within 48 hours. The rapid order intake demonstrated growing acceptance of smart mobility products across multiple vehicle segments and strengthened the alliance’s overall sales performance.

Another important contributor was the Aito M6, introduced on April 22. The model surpassed 20,000 delivered units within its first month on the market, reflecting healthy customer demand. Meanwhile, the Shangjie Z7 series, jointly developed by Huawei and SAIC Motor, began deliveries at the end of May and recorded more than 2,000 delivered units within two days of customer handovers commencing.

Key Brands Under Huawei HIMA Alliance

The alliance currently consists of five automotive brands developed through strategic partnerships with traditional manufacturers. These include Stelato with BAIC Group, Aito with Seres Group, Luxeed with Chery, Maextro with Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group, and Shangjie with SAIC Motor. Each partnership reflects Huawei’s strategy of combining intelligent vehicle technologies with established manufacturing capabilities to accelerate product development and market penetration.

HIMA also used the 2026 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Auto Show to showcase its growing product portfolio. The alliance displayed 13 models and expanded its exhibition area to a record 5,000 square meters. The increase highlights the rapid growth of the business, particularly when compared with the 1,050-square-meter exhibition space it occupied in 2023. Featured vehicles included the Aito and Luxeed lineups alongside the Stelato S9, Maextro S800 Grand Design, and Shangjie H5.

Huawei’s role within the alliance centers on supplying intelligent driving technologies, software platforms, and connected vehicle capabilities to partner manufacturers. This technology-focused strategy has enabled traditional automakers to strengthen their competitiveness in the China automotive market, where competition remains intense from major domestic vehicle producers. By integrating advanced software and smart driving functions into partner vehicles, Huawei continues to expand the influence of the HIMA ecosystem and support its partners in addressing evolving consumer demand.
