Huawei, Audi sign MoU for intelligent connected vehicles
DHAKA, July 11, 2018 (BSS) – ICT solutions provider Huawei has partnered
with German automobile manufacturer Audi for the development of intelligent
connected vehicles.
To this end, Huawei and Audi signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for
a strategic cooperation on Tuesday. The agreement forms a broad partnership
between the companies in the two countries initiated by Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said a press release today.
Veni Shone, president of LTE Solution, Huawei said, “We are entering a new
era of intelligent vehicles that will see the emergence of new technological
synergies between information and communications technology and the
automotive industries.”
“With increased innovation in mobile connectivity, Huawei is committed to
transforming the driving experience,” Shone added.
The cooperation between Huawei and Audi is intended to facilitate the
advancement of intelligent driving and the digitalization of services in the
vehicle environment.
The companies have agreed to jointly develop training programmes in order
to strengthen the skills of technology experts in both of these areas.
Intelligent connected vehicles allow relevant information to be exchanged
between the vehicle and the surrounding environment. To achieve this, cars
need a high-quality, stable data connection.

intensifying our joint research with Huawei in the area of intelligent
connected vehicles. Our aim is to improve safety and optimize traffic flows
