based on the best practices of the past few years, huawei cloud provides five key capabilities and solutions for the automotive industry. it is committed to building an industry-leading automotive cloud infrastructure, accelerating the implementation of automotive intelligent scenarios, supporting the global layout of automotive companies, and better supporting the rapid innovation and efficient operation of automotive business.
globalization: huawei cloud group's one cloud solution supports the global business layout of automobile companies
based on global infrastructure, huawei cloud automotive group's one cloud solution provides a variety of services from compliance consulting to operation and maintenance, covering more than 170 countries and regions around the world, supporting the global deployment of automotive business. among them, huawei cloud's global storage and computing network kooverse provides customers with computing, storage, network, security and other infrastructure services with a globally consistent experience. it has covered 33 geographical regions and 93 availability zones, with domestic latency less than 30ms and overseas latency less than 50ms. the strong service team can provide multi-language support, respond in a timely manner without time difference, and ensure efficient operation of user business. huawei cloud has 30 years of global business experience and has in-depth cooperation with more than 50 partners in europe, asia pacific, latin america and other regions to provide comprehensive support for the implementation of overseas business of automotive companies.
as more and more automakers plan to build factories overseas, problems such as long procurement cycles, difficulty in building local operation and maintenance teams, and increased security threats have gradually emerged. huawei cloud's distributed automotive factory solution shortens the delivery cycle from 3 months to 1 month by deploying cloudpond intelligent edge stations in overseas automobile manufacturing factories, and provides localized operation and maintenance services to save automakers' operation and maintenance costs.
in 2023, chery's overseas sales will increase by 101.1% year-on-year, ranking first in the export growth rate of chinese brand passenger cars. currently, chery's overseas internet of vehicles businesses in mexico, asia pacific and other regions are deployed on huawei cloud, which supports chery's overseas business expansion and operations.
connectivity: distributed internet of vehicles 2.0 solution leads the upgrade of the architecture of internet of vehicles for tens of millions of users
the penetration rate of intelligent connected vehicles has entered a period of rapid growth. in order to support the upgrade of the internet of vehicles architecture of tens of millions of automobile companies, huawei cloud distributed internet of vehicles 2.0 solution has achieved three major capability upgrades, including global distributed access, digital fusion analysis platform and all serverless architecture.
to help a certain car company conduct compliance business in vietnam, the two parties cooperated to build a car networking system. based on huawei cloud cloudpond, the cloud service deployment was completed within 1 month. compared with the traditional self-built idc model, it greatly saved manpower investment and shortened the construction period. in terms of data analysis, taking a leading domestic car company as an example, huawei cloud optimized the query efficiency from 60s to 12.5s through the optimization of the lake warehouse integrated architecture and expert diagnosis of business processes. in addition, in a car networking project of an international car company, the idle time resource reduction was achieved by 40%, and the development efficiency was improved by 30%.
huang jin introduced that currently there are more than 5 million connected vehicles from many automobile companies running on huawei cloud. in the next 1-2 years, we will usher in an era of tens of millions of smart connected vehicles. huawei cloud will continue to support the rapid development of smart connected vehicles.
intelligence: huawei cloud automotive zone, surge computing power, octopus cloud services, accelerating the intelligent upgrade of automotive
today, intelligent driving is accelerating its mass production and becoming popular, but the r&d data of autonomous driving is highly confidential, and industry regulations have high requirements for data transmission, storage, and use. automakers still face core challenges such as the long cycle of building their own compliance infrastructure and complex certification. in response, huawei cloud has worked closely with qualified map vendors to launch the ulanqab auto zone to meet compliance requirements, support enterprise intelligent driving resources to be ready for use, and calmly face the surge in intelligent driving car mass production data. since the service was launched in july last year, more than 10 companies have settled in, including faw, dongfeng, baic, and huawei intelligent driving solutions bu.
secondly, in the process of autonomous driving research and development, the data closed-loop process is long and complex. huawei cloud has created octopus, a one-stop autonomous driving cloud service, which has helped faw, dongfeng, changan and other companies deliver r&d platforms that took six months to build in one week. at the same time, based on the accumulation of multiple actual projects, huawei cloud can provide car companies with a library of 200,000+ simulation scenarios to accelerate the process of customer simulation business. at the same time, relying on the upgrade of pangu big model 5.0, huawei cloud autonomous driving has further enhanced the stcg spatiotemporal controllable generation capability in the field of multimodal generation. taking the autonomous driving scenario as an example, pangu big model 5.0 can not only generate scenes of normal car driving, but also generate random, accidental and adversarial scenes, which greatly reduces the dependence of intelligent driving training on massive road data mining.
in addition, the development and iteration of intelligent driving requires massive, stable, and cost-effective computing power. huawei ascend cloud service provides automakers with affordable and cost-effective ai computing power based on a full stack of independent and reliable technologies. at present, the adaptation of more than 20 typical algorithms for autonomous driving, including visual perception and point cloud perception, has been completed. after optimization, the average training acceleration of some algorithms can be as high as 40%.
changan automobile and huawei have made significant progress in product development, digital transformation, talent training, etc. since they started their strategic cooperation in 2014. recently, the two parties signed the "comprehensive upgrade strategic cooperation agreement" to enter a new stage of cooperation, and will fully increase investment in intelligent r&d, covering ai infrastructure, large models, data platforms and other fields.
software: apply modern solutions to help automakers build an application platform with stable operation and efficient operation and maintenance
as the automotive industry grows rapidly, the scale of software development of automakers has expanded, and rapid iteration of automotive software has become the new normal of competition. huawei cloud's application modernization solution, including professional consulting services and the independently innovative development tool chain codearts, can help automakers develop agilely and build a stable and efficient application platform to quickly respond to market changes and improve product competitiveness.
for example, huawei cloud has teamed up with changan automobile to create a low-code joint innovation laboratory, enabling changan automobile to build an independent and controllable service platform, helping changan automobile to shorten its application development cycle from 3 months to 9 days, greatly improving efficiency.
through automated testing and smooth microservice transformation, huawei cloud helped an international automobile company identify hidden dangers and eliminate risks, drive r&d improvements, and build standard process specifications, achieving a 20% performance improvement and significantly enhancing system stability.
digitalization: digital solutions for automotive r&d, working with partners to help automakers improve efficiency and activate innovation
in the past, the r&d cycle of a single vehicle model for automakers was often 4-5 years, but now it has been shortened to about 18 months. the industry's high requirements for r&d efficiency have driven automakers to improve the digital capabilities of their r&d systems.
based on huawei's r&d experience, huawei cloud has created a digital solution for automotive industry products, and has joined forces with many partners in the industry to achieve "end-to-end demand, project, bom, and process" capabilities. through collaborative development of software and hardware, it supports the digital transformation and upgrading of automobile companies' r&d systems, helping automobile companies improve r&d efficiency and activate innovation. it has been implemented in multiple r&d scenarios of gac and jac.
since its establishment, huawei cloud has been working with customers and partners in the automotive industry. so far, huawei cloud has worked with more than 50 partners in the industry to serve more than 300 automotive industry customers. according to this year's idc report, huawei cloud has won the first place in china's automotive cloud market share, and has won many firsts in internet of vehicles cloud services and autonomous driving cloud services. huang jin said: "based on five major innovations, huawei cloud supports the development of globalization, networking, intelligence, software, and digitalization of automotive companies. we will continue to increase investment to help automotive companies and partners build technological resilience in the new era, and upgrade to the cloud together to move forward steadily and wisely."
