CNBC AI News – Shenzhen, China – Huawei’s consumer electronics chief, Richard Yu, didn’t mince words at the 2025 Future Automotive Pioneers Conference in Shenzhen this week, laying bare the stark realities of quality control in the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market. The two-day event, which concluded on June 1st, served as a prime stage for Yu to deliver a pointed critique of industry standards.
Speaking with the frankness that has become his trademark, Yu, a Huawei Executive Director and Chairman of the Terminal BG, made a striking claim: “Based on Huawei’s quality standards, some automakers wouldn’t be able to ship a single vehicle.”
His statement underscored a fundamental principle for his company. Yu emphasized, “Quality is our lifeline. It is the ultimate luxury. Excellence itself is the highest form of opulence.”
Beyond specific assessments, Yu displayed a firm commitment to consumer safety, calling for stern measures against companies engaging in deceptive advertising, specifically those overstating their vehicles’ capabilities.
He further urged the industry to avoid setting its benchmark at the lowest common denominator, stating, “We cannot allow the performance of the worst-performing companies to restrict the entire industry’s progress or define the standards. We must encourage innovation; otherwise, we will stagnate.”
