Seres
+ FollowSeres Group (SHSE: 601127) is a Chinese automaker founded by Zhang Xinghai and headquartered in Chongqing. The company builds the Aito brand of premium EVs and extended-range vehicles in partnership with Huawei — the flagship of Huawei's HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) unit.
Huawei's smart-driving and cockpit technology defines the Aito lineup, but Seres owns the brand outright, having bought the Aito trademark from Huawei in 2024, and holds a 10% stake in Yinwang, Huawei's spun-off smart-car unit. Once a budget minivan maker known as Dongfeng Sokon (DFSK), Seres has become one of China's most profitable NEV makers on Aito's success.
