Tencent Intelligent Mobility announces upgraded strategy

Tencent unveiled on Friday its latest Vehicle-Cloud Integration strategy to improve mobility experience.

The suite of new services announced by Tencent Intelligent Mobility included Tencent Intelligent Automobile Cloud, a one-stop cloud solution tailored for the intelligent auto industry, and Tencent Integrated Automobile Safety Solution, which covers all aspects of cloud management.

"Tencent perseveres not to be an automaker, but to support automakers to manufacture quality vehicles, and boost marketing and enterprise management efficiency and improve mobility experience," said Dowson Tong, senior executive vice-president and CEO of the cloud and smart industry group, during a virtual conference.

For vehicles, Tencent has launched products and capabilities such as intelligent cockpit TAI, intelligent driving map, high-definition map, intelligent scene engine and in-vehicle mini programs to make vehicles more intelligent.

Tencent also promised to leverage its social media tools WeChat and Enterprise WeChat, and a new "Tencent Mobility Service" mini program to form a seamless connection between mobile phones and vehicles.

Tencent has launched industry cloud solutions spanning the entire chain of automobile R&D, manufacturing, marketing, operation and after-market services.

Currently, more than 100 auto companies and mobility technology companies have chosen Tencent Intelligent Automobile Cloud service, and over 35 auto companies are using Tencent intelligent cockpit products. Some 600 industry partners are collaborating with Tencent in coming up with innovative solutions.
