Stellantis is reportedly in talks with Huawei and JAC Motors about a long-term industrial partnership involving Maserati, according to people familiar with the discussions cited by multiple outlets. The talks center on jointly developing a vehicle using Huawei’s automotive technology, with production possibly starting by the end of 2027.
The proposed arrangement is described as a China-focused tie-up that could include selling a vehicle based on the same platform or technology developed through the collaboration. One outlet reports the companies are considering the structure and timeline of the project, while another similarly frames the discussions as exploratory and contingent on further negotiations.
Neither report provides confirmed details on investment amounts, specific technologies to be used, or final commercial terms. The reporting also does not indicate whether Stellantis would market the resulting model under the Maserati brand exclusively in China or share broader licensing or production rights outside the country. Huawei and JAC’s reported role appears to be tied to technology and manufacturing cooperation, respectively.
Overall, the outlets agree that talks are ongoing and that the key elements are a Huawei technology contribution, a JAC manufacturing or industrial partnership component, and a Maserati vehicle development effort with a potential late-2027 production target.
