Chinese automaker Chery Auto995 Archivesworking with Huawei in “an all-round way” to ramp up production of their first joint model, the Luxeed S7, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday, denying that there has been conflict between the two companies in a production-constrained situation. The state-owned manufacturer also denied rumors that a deputy general manager blasted Huawei for a lack of coordination before quitting his job recently, which comes after reports saying multiple customers were frustrated over unexplained and months-long delivery delays of the S7 electric sedan. The two companies on Jan. 11 announced compensation for those who had experienced delivery delays of more than six weeks for the car, launched in late November and featuring Huawei’s in-car software with a starting price of RMB 258,000 ($35,381). The Chinese technology giant has been partnering with several other automakers including Changan, Seres, and BAIC. [CLS, in Chinese]
