HONOR Announces Strategic Partnership with BYD, the Global Leader in New-Energy Vehicles

Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR today announced a strategic partnership with BYD, the world's leading new-energy vehicle manufacturer. The collaboration integrates HONOR’s vehicle connectivity solution with BYD’s next-generation DiLink smart ecosystem to deliver human-centric, AI-powered mobility experiences for consumers.

The agreement was signed at a ceremony witnessed by James Li, CEO of HONOR, and Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Group. Fang Fei, President of Products at HONOR, and Yang Dongsheng, Senior Vice President of BYD and President of the Automotive New Technology Research Institute, signed on behalf of their companies, marking the start of deeper cooperation in intelligent mobility.

 This strategic partnership is not only a deep collaboration in technology and ecosystem between two industry leaders, but also a forward-looking commitment to the future of intelligent mobility.

 The partnership will progress along three pillars:

• Core technology and features: Joint innovation in cross-device ecosystem integration, AI agent integration, and high-precision Bluetooth-based car key.
• Channel ecosystem and user benefits: establishing a collaborative channel model that leverages HONOR’s connected vehicle capabilities and BYD’s intelligent ecosystem to maximize interoperability between platforms.
• Joint communications and user engagement: Collaborative marketing, joint launches and user engagement around key launch milestones.

 HONOR and BYD first collaborated in 2023, introducing smartphone NFC car keys that let BYD owners lock and unlock vehicles with HONOR smartphones. In 2024, the partnership extended to in-vehicle fast charging. In 2025, building on phone-to-car connectivity, the partners deepened cooperation: DENZA became the first brand to adopt HONOR Car Connect, with coverage expanding across additional BYD brands to enable seamless cross-device interaction and service continuity.

 “At HONOR, we have always believed that the key to maximizing human potential lies in the combination of a human-centric focus and technology. Our partnership with BYD is a comprehensive collaboration for the AI era, with smart mobility as the key strategic focus at this stage. Together, we will advance joint technology development, complement each other’s strengths, and co-create an ecosystem of seamless and intelligent mobility experiences that enrich every journey and help usher in a new paradigm of smart living,” said James Li, CEO of HONOR.

 This strategic cooperation represents both a deep integration of technology and resources and a significant innovation in intelligent mobility. Looking ahead, both companies will continue to be user-centric and AI-driven, accelerating development and rollout of phone-to-car connectivity, digital keys, and other features while enhancing safety and convenience across smart mobility scenarios.

 The upcoming 2025 HONOR Global Developers Conference and AI Device Ecosystem Conference on October 23rd will also showcase the collaborative achievements of both parties. HONOR will also highlight the HONOR AI Connect platform and its role in building human-centric, scenario-based AI ecosystem solutions during the conference.
