Recently, Zhao Ming, the former CEO of Honor, delivered his inaugural public remarks following his transition to Qianli Tech, offering insights into his shift from the mobile phone industry to the automotive intelligent driving sector. He emphasized that the essence of both the mobile phone and automotive industries revolves around the enhancement of fundamental technologies. Presently, Qianli Tech has entered into a strategic partnership with Stepfun, paving the way for an end-to-end intelligent driving technology framework. This collaboration is poised to expedite product innovation cycles, with Zhao Ming confidently asserting that they "are not afraid of competition." Over the past year or so, Qianli Tech's intelligent driving solutions have witnessed remarkable progress. Having personally experienced Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, Zhao Ming harbors ambitions for Qianli Tech to attain a comparable level of excellence. After testing the Zeekr 8X, which is equipped with Qianli Tech's intelligent driving system, his confidence surged. He proclaimed that its intelligent driving capabilities are unparalleled in the industry, even daring Tesla to "surpass them." Zhao Ming commenced his career at Huawei in 1998 and held diverse leadership roles at Honor before departing in January 2025. He joined Qianli Tech in February 2026 and was appointed as its co-chairman in March. Qianli Tech, previously recognized as Lifan Technology, is dedicated to the "AI + Vehicle" strategy, with Geely serving as a major stakeholder.
