Arcfox showcases EV ambition powered by Huawei

Arcfox is showcasing its latest lineup at the Shanghai show, with the Huawei Inside version of its Alpha S sedan hogging the limelight at the biennial event.

The Huawei Inside version is the first vehicle globally to sport Huawei's Harmony operating system and its autonomous driving solutions.

Huawei said it can navigate itself through urban traffic for 1,000 kilometers without human intervention.

The premium electric brand of BAIC Group is presenting the variants of its mass-produced Alpha S sedan and the Alpha T SUV at the event that runs until April 28.

The Alpha S sedan has a driving range up to 708 kilometers and can accelerate from zero to 100 km/hour in 4.2 seconds.

Arcfox signed deals with eight investors at the auto show to expand its dealership network.

The brand is not limiting its ambition in China. Wang Qiufeng, vice-president of Arcfox, said the brand will further push back frontiers and go to explore the overseas markets, especially Europe, where the EV sector is booming.

Starting with Europe, the brand said it is planning to launch at least eight models in the global market in five years.
