Last month, GWM officially completed the transfer of the ownership of the former Mercedes-Benz factory in Iracemapolis, Brazil, starting upgrading. Brazil will be its fulcrum to cover the entire South American market.
GWM earlier opened a subsidiary in Munich, Germany, and set up European headquarters. It also has new developments in south Asia and North Africa, entering “a new stage of globalisation”.
A big investment in technology research and development is another core factor contributing to GWM’s revenue growth. The company spent CNY20bn on intelligent platforms, including the L.E.M.O.N., Tank and Coffee Intelligence, which have brought to customers a large number of new vehicles, such as the Haval Shenshou(for China) , Wey Latte DHT(for China) and Haval Dargo to start a new product cycle globally.
