Huawei HMS for Car smart cockpit expands global reach at Bangkok Motor Show 2026

Returning to the Bangkok International Motor Show for the third consecutive year, Huawei highlighted its HMS for Car platform as a scalable smart cockpit solution aimed at accelerating automakers’ international growth. The platform focuses on delivering localized digital services, intelligent navigation, and integrated connectivity features tailored to regional market needs, reinforcing its role in the evolving Connected Vehicles ecosystem.

Seamless charging ecosystem introduced with localized integration

A major highlight was the introduction of a seamless charging experience developed in collaboration with Voltality. The system enables drivers to locate nearby charging stations through Petal Maps and complete payments directly inside the vehicle using QR-based transactions. This integrated approach aligns with the growing demand for EV Charging Infrastructure solutions and supports a unified “vehicle–network–charger–payment” ecosystem tailored for Thailand, improving convenience and user experience for electric vehicle owners.

Customized smart cockpit features for partner vehicle models

The HMS for Car platform demonstrated its adaptability across multiple automaker partnerships by offering customized services for different vehicle brands. For Chery’s Omoda and Jaecoo lineup, including electric variants, the system provides advanced functionalities such as service area planning, battery monitoring, and lane-level navigation suited for both city and off-road conditions. These capabilities enhance operational efficiency while supporting intelligent route planning.

Enhanced navigation and energy management across EV and PHEV models

For Great Wall Motor’s vehicle portfolio, including WEY, ORA, and HAVAL models, the platform enables simplified navigation with integrated route planning for both fuel and electric powertrains. Plug-in hybrid models benefit from optimized fuel and charging strategies, while fully electric vehicles receive charger-centric routing guidance. Meanwhile, Changan’s AVATR models leverage real-time range tracking, route optimization, and charging alerts, ensuring a seamless urban driving experience supported by intelligent energy management systems.

Four core technology modules power the platform

The HMS for Car ecosystem is built on four foundational components—MAP BOX, Service Box, AI BOX, and Net BOX. These modules collectively enable global navigation capabilities, localized digital services, multilingual AI interaction, and continuous vehicle connectivity. By integrating these technologies, Huawei enhances system scalability and supports automakers in deploying advanced cockpit solutions across diverse markets.

Strategic focus on localized smart mobility expansion

Through continued collaboration with global automakers and regional partners, Huawei aims to strengthen localized smart mobility services. Its presence at the Bangkok Motor Show underscores a broader strategy to expand intelligent cockpit solutions and connected services, positioning HMS for Car as a key enabler in the next phase of automotive digital transformation.
