Wang Jun starts to serve as COO of Huawei’s auto BU

Beijing (Gasgoo)- HUAWEI’s Intelligent Automotive Solution Business Unit (hereinafter referred to as the BU) released a notice of personnel adjustments recently. 

According to the notice, Richard （Chengdong）Yu, CEO of the BU, remains in his position.

Ex-president of the BU, Wang Jun, took on the position as COO of the BU and president of Huawei’s intelligent driving solution’s production line.

Bian Honglin will serve as the CTO of the BU and the head of the BU’s research and development sector.

The change, which cut the post of the president but brought no change to the BU’s core team members, was just a normal adjustment to better develop Huawei’s intelligent vehicle solutions business, the company said. It created a more straightforward structure of the sector’s organization, with Wang Jun and Bian Honglin directly reporting to Richard (Chengdong) Yu.

Currently, Richard (Chengdong) Yu is also the CEO of HUAWEI’s Consumer Business Group. HUAWEI has been facilitating the synergy between the two major units. Bian Honglin once served as the president of HUAWEI’s Consumer BG Hardware Engineering and Product Development Management Group and the CTO of Consumer BG. Bian’s transfer to the auto BU indicated the human resources integration between the two operations in HUAWEI. 

In July, Su Jing, then-head of Huawei’s intelligent driving product department, was dismissed from his position due to his improper remarks about Tesla. The position has been temporarily taken on by Bian Honglin.
