Chinese automaker Great Wall Automobile will become the latest automaker to show its cars to Europe, reports Automotive News Europe. The maker of pickups and SUVs will exhibit at the Bologna motor show in Italy in December.


Great Wall currently sells vehicles in Russia and the Middle East and plans to expand into new markets.


In 2004, the automaker built a combined 27,540 pickups and SUVs at its sole plant in Baoding City, in the Hebei province in eastern China. The plant has an installed capacity of 150,000 units. Great Wall plans to add passenger cars and minivans to its lineup and in July began building a 200,000-unit plant to produce four new passenger models.
