On September 18, it was reported by media that starting from September 16, 2026, the signatory of the "Authorized Distribution Partner Comprehensive Service Cooperation Agreement" for AITO will be changed from Huawei Device Co., Ltd. to an affiliate of Seres Automotive Co., Ltd., and the previous agreement will be automatically terminated. In response to rumors that 'AITO will be withdrawn from Huawei stores in 2027,' Seres explicitly denied them, stating that some stores will continue to sell AITO models. Seres further clarified that Huawei has not withdrawn from AITO, as AITO remains a member of Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, with Huawei's technological supply and equity ties still intact. Huawei's commercial supermarket stores will continue to sell AITO models, as these stores are primarily dominated by Huawei's digital channel partners, with Huawei retaining control over this aspect.
