Yu Chengdong: It is Huawei's only loss-making business to recommend that pure fuel vehicles be eliminated as soon as possible

On July 7th, the 14th China Automotive Blue Book Forum was held in Wuhan China Chegu.According to Sina Technology, Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, CEO of Terminal BG, and CEO of Smart Car Solutions BU, spoke at the forum today, saying that the extended range is very suitable as the first car in the family, and it is recommended to eliminate pure fuel vehicles as soon as possible. Using gasoline to generate electricity is more fuel-efficient than fuel vehicles, saving about half of the fuel, which really brings about an improvement in energy efficiency.

Yu Chengdong also said that Huawei has invested a lot in automobiles, spending more than one billion US dollars a year. Automobiles are Huawei's only loss-making business. It directly invests 7,000 people and indirectly invests more than 10,000 people. It is definitely a money-burning business. Difficult business.In addition, when talking about Wenjie M7, Yu Chengdong said that the order volume has exceeded 50,000.

On July 4, Yu Chengdong released the new AITO M7 luxury and intelligent large electric SUV at the summer launch of Huawei's nova10 series and full-scenario new products.After the press conference, Yu Chengdong said in an interview with the media that there is a view that the extended-range electric vehicle is only a transitional route. It is nonsense. If the extended-range engine is removed, it is a pure electric vehicle.The pure electric car has added a range-extending engine, is it backward?Yu Chengdong said that even if the battery of the pure electric car is made larger, it still needs to be charged. What if there is no place to charge it when it is used up?Large batteries have also become a burden, and battery energy density is also a bottleneck.In Yu Chengdong's view, the use of oil for power generation in extended-range vehicles is more fuel-efficient than fuel vehicles, because fuel vehicles often keep clutching and shifting on the road, and the engine has been working inefficiently.Although the extended-range vehicle generates electricity, the electricity can be recovered, which is much more efficient than the fuel vehicle.

On the afternoon of July 6, Yu Chengdong pointed out on social media that the improvement and popularization ofcharging pileswill take time, and the extended-range mode is currently the most suitable new energy vehicle mode.Wenjie M7 pure electric drive, extreme performance, pure electric can run about 200 kilometers, enough to meet daily needs, oil can be used when there is no electricity, even if it is not charged, it is completely used as a gasoline vehicle, and the fuel consumption is only the same level of traditional fuel vehicles. Less than half.
