The brand operates under Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), a collaboration between BAIC BluePark and Huawei.
In December 2023, Huawei, through its automotive business Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), registered a third car brand named Stelato.
This brand was created in collaboration with BAIC Group's subsidiary, BAIC BluePark, which committed to producing a jointly developed model at its Beijing factory.

The S9 was officially launched in April 2024 at the Beijing Auto Show.
