Taklimakan Rally 2026: GWM Through the Inferno, Talk of Champions
<p>May 2026 — SS5 was 281 kilometers of terrain where past rallies lost more than eighty percent of their starters. SS6 added another 198 through the Andir River basin — a place where sand textures shift without warning, dune faces reach five meters, and the difference between a clean run and a stuck vehicle is decided by powertrain consistency, thermal management, and uninterrupted torque delivery. Here, the GWM TANK 700 Hi4‑T’s Hi4‑T platform showed exactly what it was built for: sustained, reliable performance when conditions break everything else.</p><p>By the time the two stages were done, the Taklimakan had done what it always does: reveal who came to compete and who came to hope.</p><p>GWM came to compete.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/QMDU0YjNqlfOqfBZnztCFUnAgIL2/1780371193150-0.png" /></p><p>#251 Nicolas Cavigliasso and co-driver Valentina Pertegarini in the GWM TANK 700 Hi4‑T crossed the SS6 finish line in 3 hours 26 minutes 47 seconds — one minute forty‑one seconds ahead of their teammate #252 Pau Navarro and Jan Rosa, who completed the same stage in 3:28:28. The margin between first and second on SS6 was thinner than most people realize. The margin between a GWM TANK and everything else in that stage was wider.</p><p>The Hi4‑T platform’s integrated thermal management system kept engine coolant temperatures within design specifications through both stages, despite ambient cockpit temperatures exceeding 50°C. The 3.0T V6 biturbo hybrid engine delivered uninterrupted torque through the 9HAT automatic transmission to all four wheels across every soft sand transition and riverbed crossing. The intelligent four‑wheel‑drive torque vectoring system adjusted front‑to‑rear torque distribution in milliseconds as surface conditions changed beneath the tires.</p><p>This is not lab data. This is desert data — measured in kilometers that broke most of the field.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/QMDU0YjNqlfOqfBZnztCFUnAgIL2/1780371212839-0.png" /></p><p>What makes the Hi4‑T platform truly remarkable is not any single component, but how the whole system works together. When the desert demands maximum torque for a steep dune climb, the hybrid system instantly supplies the electric boost while the 3.0T V6 holds the line. When soft sand threatens to overheat the powertrain, the thermal management circuit automatically sheds heat without a single input from the driver. When one wheel loses traction on a riverbed crossing, torque vectoring shifts power to the wheels that still grip. The driver simply steers and accelerates. The platform handles the rest.</p><p>The results that matter most are not the stage wins. They are in the overall standings through SS6: Nicolas Cavigliasso leads the T2.E category with a combined time of 22h 43m 22s. These leads were built not on a single strong day, but on consistency across six straight stages — including the two that broke everything else the Taklimakan has seen in years.</p><p>What SS5 and SS6 confirmed is not that GWM TANK is fast. Any off‑road vehicle can be fast for a day. What they confirmed is that the Hi4‑T platform — the same platform customers drive on real roads in real weather with real loads — is built for exactly the kind of abuse the Taklimakan delivers. It performs without drama, without retirement, without apology.</p><p>Through the inferno. Talk of champions. That is what these two stages produced.</p>

GWM Rejects Price Wars and AI Hype, Betting on ‘Boring’ Integrity for Global Expansion
<p>As China’s auto show floor buzzes with AI promises and aggressive discounting, one of the country’s largest automakers is taking a conspicuously unfashionable stance: competing on trust, not hype.</p><p>At the Auto China 2026, executives from GWM used a dealer conference and media interviews to publicly reject industry trends – including price wars, brand proliferation, and over-the-top claims about intelligence – arguing that integrity and reliability will ultimately determine who wins globally.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/89190689-1777894987-1.jpg"></p><p>“We will never engage in price wars at the expense of product safety and long-term quality,” said Jack Wey, GWM’s chairman, in a keynote address to overseas distributors. “Integrity is the rarest currency in business. Once it is lost, it cannot be bought back.”</p><p>The Chinese auto market is enduring a brutal price battle. Nearly every electric vehicle brand has been forced into steep discounts. But GWM’s international president, Parker Shi, called that dynamic “a race to the bottom.”</p><p>“Frequent price cuts erode residual value,” Shi said in a media interview at the show. “Customers who bought at full price feel betrayed. After one year, a new model arrives and the old one is worth half. That is not a healthy business model.”</p><p>Shi also pushed back against the industry’s obsession with software-defined features. “Ten years ago, cars had no intelligent features, and people drove just fine,” he said. “Intelligence is a plus. Safety is the zero before the one.”</p><p>GWM is in the midst of a major global push, flying in 1,500 overseas dealers and media to Beijing. It unveiled new off-road hybrids, a luxury six-seat SUV, and even a large-displacement motorcycle. But executives repeatedly stressed that brand trust cannot be harvested like wheat.</p><p>“You would never buy a Rolex from a convenience store,” Shi said, expressing caution toward competitors that launch multiple brands for short-term share gains, only to disappear when the market turns.Chairman Wey articulated a three-layer integrity strategy: toward users, partners and the global market. He noted that for 21 years, GWM has held weekly vehicle evaluation meetings – more than 1,000 to date – open to users and media. “We would rather lose a business opportunity than compromise our credibility,” he said.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/89190689-1777894988-2.jpg"></p><p>On global expansion, Wey and Shi both warned against treating exports as a shipping exercise. “Localisation is not a checkbox,” Shi said. “It is survival.”</p><p>GWM’s message is quietly contrarian. “The next era of global auto competition will not belong to the loudest,” Shi said. “It will belong to the most trustworthy.”</p>

GWM Unveils World-Class Safety & Testing Facilities: Safety Built on Data, Not Hype
<p>During the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, GWM hosted a Tech Day event, opening its global safety and testing complex to hundreds of international journalists and overseas dealers, who engaged in in-depth exchanges with engineers. No staged demos, no polished pitches—only real engineering: black electromagnetic absorbers, a 120-ton rotating crash barrier, and an ORA 5 undergoing a 60 km/h side impact in full view of witnesses.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/1777726696603-0.png" /></p><p><strong>Frontier Tech in Focus: Global Media Eagerly Inquire About Rollout Timelines</strong></p><p>During the Tech Day event, technical experts from GWM delivered in-depth technical analyses on all-scenario intelligent driving, next-generation smart cockpits, and the Hi4 powertrain family. The smart cockpit, powered by the Coffee OS 3 system, stood out with its five defining qualities – " Good-looking, Easy to Use, Fun to Use, Pleasant to Hear, and Highly Intelligent." GWM's driver assistance system also earned strong acclaim for its forward-looking design and broad adaptability, particularly its thorough consideration of global regulations, local driving habits, scenario adaptability, and data localization strategies–a clear reflection of GWM's global R&D vision. Meanwhile, the Hi4 powertrain family impressed attendees with its all-scenario capability and exceptional performance. Throughout the event, media representatives from various countries and regions eagerly inquired about the local rollout plans and timelines for these cutting-edge technologies.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/1777726727004-0.png" /></p><p><strong>A Foundation of Self-Reliance: Power and Validation Built In-House</strong></p><p>Technical confidence starts with self‑developed power. Based on its Forest Ecosystem architecture, GWM has independently created 4.0T V8 and 3.0T V6 engines plus advanced diesel hybrid systems. To prove safety rather than just claim it, GWM built China’s first independent comprehensive proving ground, high‑altitude simulation lab, and climatic wind tunnel, forming a full‑life‑cycle validation system for global markets.</p><p>Launched in 2025, the GWM Safety Lab represents a 510‑million‑yuan investment across 57,000 square meters, serving as the core of a nearly 10‑billion‑yuan testing ecosystem. Global media experienced the facility with no guided script, seeing authentic validation rather than curated showcases.</p><p><strong>Core Labs: Engineering Excellence Behind Every Detail</strong></p><p>Inside the EMC Chamber, full shielding and wave‑absorbing materials enable 360‑degree testing with all electronic systems active. GWM’s internal standard limits electromagnetic radiation to less than one‑fifth of the national legal requirement. The 30‑million‑yuan NVH anechoic chamber uses a double‑layer room‑in‑room structure to reach 20 dB.</p><p>The 300‑million‑yuan climatic wind tunnel covers 2,800 square meters, simulating ‑40°C to 60°C, 5%–95% humidity, and winds up to 250 km/h. “To use the same calibration in the Middle East and Northern Europe without validation is gambling, not engineering,” a senior engineer noted,”Every GWM vehicle passes extreme cold, heat, and humidity tests before market launch. “</p><p><strong>Crash Test Center: Where Every Millisecond Defines Safety</strong></p><p>GWM’s crash lab supports Euro NCAP, C‑NCAP, and FMVSS standards. In the Multi‑Angle Crash Zone, the high-speed camera captures 4,000 frames per second, allowing it to clearly record the trajectory of a bullet's movement. In this way, engineers can split the 0.1-second crash into hundreds of parts and observe and analyze them frame by frame. Below the track, a glass‑covered camera pit captures underbody deformation in real time.</p><p>The 120-ton moving deformable barrier withstands a 3.5‑ton vehicle crashing at 80 km/h. In the laboratory. It is possible to simulate vehicle collisions with guardrails on both sides of the highway, as well as full-scenario drop and rollover conditions for both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles. “Rollover risk is deadly, so we test more rigorously than any other brand,” an engineer explained.</p><p>The AEB pre‑collision track simulates real‑world “brake then crash” conditions to ensure restraints and airbags work in sync. The New Energy Safety Zone manages thermal runaway with automated submergence in 30 seconds and AI firefighting for severe cases. GWM’s 34 high‑precision crash dummies include $1.7‑million THOR units and $1.1‑million WorldSID side‑impact units. “Dummies are not props—they define life‑saving boundaries,” engineers stressed.</p><p><strong>ORA 5 Euro NCAP Test: Five-Star Safety Ready for Europe</strong></p><p>In the on-site side impact test referencing Euro NCAP, the ORA 5 destined for Europe was struck at 60 km/h with one adult and two child dummies. The vehicle moved 5 meters, activated hazard lights, showed zero fuel leakage, and kept doors closed for occupant protection.</p><p>With 75% high‑strength steel, 2,000‑MPa submarine‑grade A‑pillars, 1,500‑MPa door beams, full‑coverage airbags, and adaptive seatbelts, the ORA 5 is on track for a Euro NCAP five‑star safety rating.</p><p><strong>Strategic Vision: Trust, Safety and Tech Sovereignty</strong></p><p>By opening its labs transparently, GWM builds global trust with tangible engineering rather than marketing. Safety validation clears regional barriers for Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America, enabling synchronized global launches.</p><p>Full‑stack self‑developed systems, industry‑first rotating barriers, and exclusive rollover testing mark GWM’s shift from adopting global tools to defining global standards.</p><p>As one senior dealer commented: “This is exactly what we needed to see.”</p><p>GWM’s global safety promise is clear: safety built on data, proven in labs, trusted worldwide.</p>

It aligns perfectly with evolving consumer expectations today.”</p><p>The event featured multiple dedicated modules, including track driving, off-road terrain challenges, and intelligent driving assistance scenarios—each designed to replicate typical usage conditions across global markets.</p><p>During the dealer test drives, a representative from Australia noted: “Overseas customers have high expectations for all-wheel-drive capability and off-road performance. The Hi4 system left a strong impression on me—especially its torque vectoring response, which is much quicker than I anticipated. It inspires great confidence when cornering.”</p><p>A participant from Southeast Asia highlighted another perspective: “Traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur and flooded roads during heavy rain in Bangkok are among the most common concerns from our customers. The Hi4 system’s smoothness under frequent stop-and-go conditions, as well as its vehicle stability on waterlogged roads, exceeded my previous expectations of Chinese brands.”</p><p><strong>Intelligent Driving, Ready to Adapt to Local Markets</strong></p><p>Among the most closely watched elements of the event was the urban NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) system featured on the WEY G9 and WEY V9X.</p><p>The test took place on real urban roads in China, including construction detours, mixed traffic with electric two-wheelers, complex intersections, and unprotected left turns—some of the most challenging everyday driving scenarios.</p><p>One international automotive content creator completed the entire urban NOA route without manual intervention and remarked: “This is incredible. We’re not talking about a controlled test track—the city environment is extremely complex, with a wide range of road users. The system’s ability to recognize and predict their behavior exceeded my expectations.”</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/1777726993019-0.png" /></p><p>Another journalist observed: “The core concern among overseas consumers is whether Chinese intelligent driving technologies can truly function in foreign markets. This real-world test showed that the system already covers pretty much every scenario you can think of, so we can easily roll it out in our local market.”</p><p>In a lighter moment, media representatives from Morocco used the WEY G9’s intelligent cockpit audio system to perform Adele’s <em>“Someone Like You.”</em> The clear high notes and rich vocal reproduction quickly drew a crowd—offering a vivid demonstration of the vehicle’s product quality through sound.</p><p><strong>Dealers: Long-Term Commitment Matters Most</strong></p><p>Alongside the test drives, GWM organized in-depth exchanges between dealers and media, underscoring its openness to feedback and commitment to listening.</p><p>A dealer representative commented: “European consumers are beginning to take notice of GWM, but their main concern is whether the brand will have a long-term presence in Europe. This event helped me find my own answer. Customers don’t just want products; they want to know the company’s technical ability and adaptability. What I’ve seen today gives me real confidence in GWM’s ‘integrity’ — or in other words, their work ethic and long-term global strategy.”</p><p>This was not a one-way narrative of a Chinese brand showcasing its products to the world, but a genuine two-way validation.</p><p>As the event concluded, GWM summarized its intent with a clear message: “We didn’t invite you here simply to demonstrate our product strength or to ask for praise. We invited you to give us honest feedback—so we can build better products for consumers in your local markets.”</p>

Breaking the Mold with First Principles, GWM Group Launches "GWM ONE" Platform, Defining a New Era for All-Powertrain Vehicles
<p> On January 16th (China time), GWM Group globally unveiled its native AI all-powertrain vehicle platform, "GWM ONE." Reportedly, the "GWM ONE" platform is a core achievement of GWM Group' adherence to "first principles," breaking traditional automotive boundaries with its innovative logic of "one vehicle, multiple powertrains; one vehicle, multiple categories; one vehicle, multiple configurations; one vehicle, multiple markets." It provides optimal solutions for the diverse mobility needs of global users.</p><p> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/fxMuSnFxFqNVoUf31s8eUqECvCp2/1768989251559-0.png" /></p><p> <strong>GWM ONE Interpretation and Industry Breakthrough: Returning to the Essence, Solving Core Pain Points</strong></p><p> The name "GWM ONE" carries profound significance. It originates from the Chinese cultural concept of Guiyuan, which conveys the idea of tracing back to the origin of all things. This is a concrete manifestation of GWM Group' "first principles" philosophy—abandoning redundant concepts, simplifying complex technologies, and delivering innovative value directly to users.</p><p> Currently, the automotive industry is trapped in the dual dilemma of fragmented demand and high costs. Mass production often fails to meet personalized needs, while pursuing top-tier performance tends to compromise efficiency—a pressing challenge for the entire industry. GWM Group has long pondered this question: Can we build a platform that truly balances scalability, top-tier performance, and personalized experiences? The GWM ONE platform is the answer.</p><p> The innovative inspiration for the GWM ONE platform stems from movable type printing, one of China's Four Great Inventions of ancient times. Just as movable type printing, with its reusable individual character modules, broke the limitations of woodblock printing's "one plate, one content" model—enabling efficient, flexible large-scale dissemination—the GWM ONE platform takes its fully self-developed core technologies as the "movable type." It decomposes powertrains, hardware functions, and software services into standardized modules, achieving diverse adaptability through flexible combinations. Thus, it becomes a perfect integration of traditional wisdom and modern technology.</p><p> <strong>Full Powertrain Compatibility: A Unique Global Revolution in Vehicle Propulsion</strong></p><p> The launch of the GWM ONE Platform enables compatibility with five major powertrain types: plug-in hybrid, hybrid, pure electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and gasoline. This is GWM Group’s way of “Returning to Origin”.</p><p> The Super Hi4 features an 800V high-voltage architecture, delivering a WLTC combined range of 1393 km and a pure electric range of 363 km for a D-segment SUV. With a fuel consumption of 6.3 L/100 km when the battery is depleted, it also achieves dual 4-second acceleration. The Hi4 Super Intelligent Hybrid HEV further realizes a “electric-first” transformation, offering 5-second acceleration comparable to a PHEV, a 14.4% reduction in fuel consumption, and intelligent features such as vehicle-to-load (V2L) external power discharge. The pure electric model adopts a 900V high-voltage architecture, providing a range of over 660 km and the ability to charge from 0% to 80% in 10 minutes.</p><p> The platform also introduces the automotive industry’s first native AI intelligent agent, integrating the Coffee EEA 4.0 electrical/electronic architecture, AI OS, and dual VLA large models. The Intelligent Driving VLA can predict blind-spot risks and “slow down before exploring the road,” while the Spatial VLA coordinates with lighting and seats to deliver “romantic” scenario-based experiences. The world’s first bionic motion control system breaks through data silos, simultaneously adjusting suspension, steering, and braking during emergency avoidance with remarkably subtle, almost instinctive responsiveness.</p><p> In terms of safety, the platform blurs the boundaries between active and passive safety by developing the world’s first integrated active-passive safety dummy, enabling full-process verification of the “prediction-intervention-protection” chain. Leveraging the platform’s high commonality rate, GWM Group plans to launch more than 50 models across 5 powertrain types and 7 product categories, ensuring that both gasoline and new energy vehicle users can enjoy the same level of intelligent experience.</p><p> At the launch event, the CEO of GWM Group, Mu Feng, explained that the GWM ONE Platform was born from the company’s robust ecosystem. By mastering a full-stack of core technologies through independent R&D, GWM Group has broken through technological barriers and ecological boundaries. For many years, the company has maintained multi-billion-yuan R&D investment, built world-class laboratories, and assembled a team of over 23,000 engineers, forming a powerful capability for systemic innovation.</p><p> Jack Wey, Chairman of GWM Group, stated that the essence of the GWM ONE Platform is “returning to the source.” By focusing on the fundamental purpose of automobiles as a means of transportation and a service to users, technology can return to its inherent goodness. Its greatest advantage lies in using high platform commonality to significantly expand market coverage, meeting the diverse needs of users in different countries, regions, and scenarios worldwide—achieving “All things manifest from a single origin..” Increased production volume and ownership will further reduce overall vehicle and maintenance costs, ultimately allowing users to “buy with confidence, use with peace of mind, and enjoy strong resale value.”</p><p> The GWM ONE Platform is not just a philosophy of car manufacturing; it is also GWM Group’s way of understanding the world. These models will be guided by “Chinese R&D, global synchronization,” entering core markets across Eurasia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific, and Africa, and allowing global users to experience the strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing.</p>

<p> On January 6 (US time), GWM made a significant debut at the 2026 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) by releasing its <em>Global Technology Investment White Paper</em>. The document systematically elaborates the core of the "Technology GWM" strategy: the ultimate goal of all technological investments is to reshape the relationship between humans and vehicles, creating profound user value.</p><p> <strong>From "Efficiency First" to "Relationship First": A Paradigm Shift in Technology Investment </strong></p><p> The technological race in the automotive industry has long focused on performance metrics. The concept proposed by GWM at CES marks a fundamental shift: from pursuing the absolute efficiency of machines to building machines that understand and care for people. Nicole Wu, CTO of GWM, raised a fundamental question in her speech: "Can a car have a soul? Can it understand you and perceive your needs?" The <em>Global Technology Investment White Paper</em> provides the answer: through systematic, user-centric investments in technological architecture, cars will evolve into partners that listen, learn, and empathize. </p><p> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/fxMuSnFxFqNVoUf31s8eUqECvCp2/1768214361179-0.png" /></p><p> To realize this vision, GWM has made systematic foundational investments. Its next-generation Electronic and Electrical Architecture (EEA) 4.0 serves as the "nervous system" of smart vehicles, featuring a "central computing + zonal control" design that breaks down functional barriers and enables global perception and millisecond-level coordination. The large model-driven AIOS acts as the "brain," achieving end-to-end AI capability integration. Built upon this foundation, the ASL marks the deepening of intelligence into interactive experiences. "From this moment on, human-machine interaction is evolving. You no longer need to adapt to the car; instead, the car proactively adapts to you," said Nicole Wu. </p><p> <strong>Hi4: One Technology, Infinite Scenarios, Addressing Core Global Needs </strong></p><p> The essence of Hi4 lies in its profound understanding and intelligent integration of power sources. "Electric motors respond swiftly with instant power, while engines offer endurance and lasting stamina. Hi4 combines them to achieve faster starts, lower fuel consumption, stronger power, and longer range," explained Nicole Wu. Based on this, GWM has developed three differentiated systems: Hi4, tailored for urban SUVs to achieve energy efficiency balance for daily commutes; Hi4-Z, enhanced for weekend adventures with improved off-road capability and economy; and Hi4-T, designed for hardcore off-roading, providing professional-grade reliable four-wheel-drive performance.</p><p> Among these, Hi4-Z stands out for its ingenuity, inspired by the 2,300-year-old Chinese Dujiangyan irrigation system. "The design of Dujiangyan is not about fighting against nature but following the flow of water," shared Nicole Wu. The power-split system of Hi4-Z functions like Dujiangyan's "Fish Mouth," intelligently dividing the engine's energy flow into two paths: one directly drives the wheels for efficiency, while the other drives a generator on demand to achieve powerful electric four-wheel drive or energy storage. This intelligent distribution enables the vehicle to unleash continuous strong power with 0-100 km/h acceleration in the 4-second range when needed, while maintaining extreme efficiency during cruising, resolving the conflict between performance and energy consumption.</p><p> Furthermore, AI deeply empowers Hi4. By integrating navigation data, learning user habits, and continuously reinforcing learning in cloud-based digital twin models, the Hi4 system can achieve optimal energy consumption planning before trips and millisecond-level precise control during driving. This AI-powered Intelligent Energy Management System can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15%, balancing strong power with green mobility.</p><p> <strong>Technology Implementation and Global Ecosystem: From Product Globalization to System Globalization</strong></p><p> At the CES booth, multiple models equipped with Hi4 technology became the center of attention, concretely showcasing the tangible outcomes of technology investments: the all-new GWM TANK 500 Hi4-T, balancing hardcore off-roading with zero-carbon urban mobility; the GWM WEY G9, designed for efficient family travel; and the GWM WEY 07, the first model equipped with the VLA large model. These products not only reflect GWM's "All Scenarios, All Powertrains" product layout strategy but also demonstrate the solid progress of its "globalization" strategy.</p><p> GWM's globalization goes far beyond product exports. Nicole Wu emphasized in her speech: "We are practicing technology globalization and ecosystem globalization. 'Technology GWM' is not just a label; it is our action to share value and create the future with global partners." By continuously hosting Tech Day technology roadshows worldwide, GWM has brought core technologies like Hi4 to regions including Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific, Australia, the Middle East, and Latin America, engaging in deep dialogue with global users, media, and investors. </p><p> More importantly, GWM's globalization involves the integrated ecosystem of "R&D, production, sales, and service." Supported by a global R&D system, stringent manufacturing standards ensure globally reliable product quality, while localized sales and service networks bring the brand closer to users, ensuring that every user can find the most suitable GWM product for their lifestyle. Whether it's efficient urban commuting, exploratory weekend journeys, or professional off-road challenges, GWM's modular, intelligent, and globalized technology system ensures that "there is always a product for you." </p><p> <strong>Investing in the Future: Creating Sustainable Mobility Value </strong></p><p> "Rather than chasing 'trends,' we prefer to cultivate 'fertile ground,'" concluded Nicole Wu. "Stages may change, and industries may evolve, but our commitment to technology remains uncompromising." Through the <em>Global Technology Investment White Paper</em>, GWM conveys a steadfast belief in long-termism: through continuous, systematic, and user-centric technology investments, technology will truly become a reliable partner empowering human freedom and expanding the boundaries of life.</p><p> The ultimate mission of "Technology GWM" is to build a smarter, more sustainable, and more user-understanding global mobility future on this foundation. The showcase at CES is not only a feast of technology but also a solemn declaration of value, responsibility, and vision presented to the world by GWM as a global hi-tech mobility enterprise.</p>

GWM Global Technology Investment White Paper: Focusing on Cutting-Edge Intelligent New Energy Innovation
<p> GWM CTO Nicole Wu delivered a keynote speech and released the Global Technology Investment White Paper<strong>,</strong> comprehensively showcasing GWM’s technology roadmap and cutting-edge achievements. The original excerpt is as follows: </p><p> For 140 years, cars got faster, stronger, safer... but colder. Today, that's changing. At GWM, we asked a simple, crazy question: Can a car understand you, feel your needs, become more than metal and code — like a horse with spirit? </p><p> One year ago, right here on this CES stage, we unveiled ASL — Agent of Space & Language. An intelligent agent that sees the world in 3D — inside and outside the car — just like a human. It reads text, speaks naturally, and communicates easily. Not just a smarter machine. A vehicle that listens, learns, and connects.</p><p> Today, ASL is real. Human-machine interaction just evolved. You don't have to adapt to the car anymore. The car adapts to you. A living companion has been born — not just transportation, but a true friend. A Family member on wheels.</p><p> Inspired by living organisms in nature, GWM developed EEA 4.0, our next-gen electronic & electrical architecture.</p><p> Central compute, the brain: deeper thinking, lightning-fast decisions.</p><p> Regional controllers, reflexes: instant, local, ultra-precise.</p><p> High-speed network, everything connected, with a millisecond-level response.</p><p> Thinking. Sensing. Acting. All as one.</p><p> Cockpit, chassis, powertrain - all collaborating together.</p><p> In an intelligent vehicle, the OS enables everything to be in sync. Today, that OS takes a leap forward. With large-model AI baked in, it becomes AI-powered. This AIOS is driven by a central intelligence. It works end to end — from core hardware, to the EEA architecture, to communication, to the OS itself. AIOS — giving the vehicle intelligence of its own. </p><p> Let me introduce you our Intelligent Drive Agent—powered by VLA and a world model. It doesn’t just see objects. It reads the story behind them. Not just sensing and responding - but thinking, reasoning, and deciding before the road decides for you. </p><p> In future, Wey agent will become Wey Agents—more skills, smarter collaboration, every situation will be handled by a dedicated agent.</p><p> Our leadership extends beyond smart cockpit and ADAS to encompass core innovations in powertrain and chassis. Our strategy is unequivocal: All Scenarios, All Powertrains, All Users— covering ICE, hybrid, electric, and hydrogen.</p><p> Hi4, our intelligent hybrid 4WD, masterfully combines instant e-motor torque with enduring engine strength for exhilarating launches, reduced fuel consumption, and extended range. We developed three distinct variants:</p><p> Hi4: Optimized for urban efficiency</p><p> Hi4-Z: Engineered for elevated capability</p><p> Hi4-T: Built for hardcore off-road adventure</p><p> Our Hi4-Z power-split system — with its three-speed front drive — takes its cue from Dujiangyan. Just like that ancient design, Hi4-Z splits one force into two smart paths. One flow runs through the ring gear, into the transmission, straight to the wheels. The other moves through the sun gear, into a generator. When engine output runs high, that second flow powers the generator—driving the rear e-motor for true all-wheel-drive, and even storing extra energy for later use. Modern technology echoing wisdom that's lasted for millennia.</p><p> AI empowers Hi4 to think across domains—balancing electric flow, data flow, and heat flow, all at once. Using navigation and map data, it predicts roads, traffic, and speed, planning fuel and electric use before. At the same time, it learns how you drive, fine-tuning throttle response to our personal style. On the move, decisions happen in milliseconds: saving energy before it’s ever wasted. Fuel consumption drops by up to 15%.</p><p> We relentlessly advance ICE technology, offering engines from 1.5L to 4.0L, paired with our in-house engineered 9DCT, 9AT, and 9HAT transmissions. Our gas powered 3.0T V6, featuring the in-house high-temperature dual VGT turbo, handling up to 980 degrees Celsius, with a redesigned combustion chamber delivering industry-leading thermal efficiency. The 4.0T V8 gives big-engine lovers even more choice. And we’re not stopping here. GWM will keep pushing ICE forward, creating more value for drivers worldwide.</p><p> In the field of new energy, GWM pioneers key technologies in-house— encompassing e-drive systems, batteries, power electronics, fuel cell stacks, and Type-IV hydrogen tanks.</p><p> We used AI to make off-roading easier—inspiring driver’s confidence. Powered by GWM’s deep off-road heritage, Hi4 brings intelligent all-terrain recognition and control. It reads the road— with over 99% accuracy, in real time. Once the terrain is identified, powertrain, 4WD, suspension, and braking move as one. The vehicle adapts in seconds — hands-free, worry-free. The system thinks ahead — so you don’t have to. With AI on board, even first-timers can go further with confidence.</p><p> At CES, we proudly showcase tangible products:</p><p> The all-new WEY 07 Intelligent Advanced Edition, empowered by GWM’s VLA large model.</p><p> The flagship WEY G9 MPV, elegantly blending Eastern aesthetics with Hi4 efficiency.</p><p> The rugged TANK 500 Hi4-T Intelligent Edition, crafted for the toughest terrain with 100 km pure electric range.</p><p> And the groundbreaking GWM S2000 CL motorcycle, showcasing the world’s first 2.0L flat-eight engine.</p><p> These aren't merely products — they are a testament to boundless curiosity, unwavering courage, and relentless innovation.</p><p> At GWM, we don't chase fleeting hype. We build enduring substance. Technology isn't the final destination — it's the vital force propelling humanity forward.</p><p> Centuries ago, figures in the Dunhuang murals reached boldly for light and the future. That very same indomitable spirit lives within what we create today.</p><p> GWM doesn't just follow the rhythm of the times. We compose it.</p><p> Let's move forward, together — forging a smarter tomorrow.</p><p> Finally — being a CTO: half visionary superhero, half stand-up comedian… still patiently explaining how to reconnect your Wi-Fi. And yes, I truly enjoy this job.</p><p> Thank you. </p>

GWM Hi4 Series: Globally Launched with a Revitalized Look, Empowering Hybrid 4WD Technology with Millennia-Old Wisdom
<p>At the GWM Hi4 Technology Global Launch Event on August 27, 2025, Jack Wey, Chairman of GWM, took the timeless "working in harmony with nature" wisdom of Dujiangyan, a world cultural heritage site, as a starting point to in-depth interpret the engineering philosophy and innovative value of GWM Hi4 technology, which resonated widely across the industry. He opened by highlighting the extraordinary nature of Dujiangyan: "The greatness of Dujiangyan lies in its ability to cope with all situations throughout the year, whether it is drought or flood, high water or low water. It turns the threat of water into a benefit for water conservancy and safeguards people's livelihoods." </p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/mmstudio-images/gallery/F8mzp8jWKeWkjCVGU0J4n1j4tZV2/89168961-1757038739-1.jpg"></p><p>These words perfectly embody the spiritual core of Hi4 technology R&D — GWM's Hi4 system draws inspiration from this magnificent water conservancy project with a history of over 2,000 years. Therefore, the brand specially chose this location for the global technology launch event, allowing millennia-old wisdom and modern technology to converge here. The innovation of GWM Hi4 technology shares profound common wisdom with Dujiangyan's water diversion technique: just as the "Fish Mouth" water-dividing dike of Dujiangyan automatically diverts water into the Inner River and Outer River according to water volume, GWM Hi4 can intelligently distribute power between the engine and dual motors to achieve precise power splitting. Specifically, through its power-splitting system, Hi4 intelligently "diverts" the vehicle's power: one part is directly used to drive the wheels, converted into traction to support driving; the other part is converted into electrical energy for storage or supply to other vehicle systems, ensuring optimal energy utilization and battery status at all times. This design not only guarantees strong power output but also significantly improves energy efficiency and driving stability. The core wisdom shared by both lies in the "rational allocation and utilization of resources", guiding power and energy to flow to the most appropriate places, and ultimately forming a more energy-saving and efficient power system. </p><p>Jack Wey further emphasized: "We build cars for the users. To put it in a phrase we often use, it is 'user-centric'. We must approach car manufacturing with the same rigor as water conservancy projects, leaving no room for negligence. That's why we need to consider extreme weather conditions to make driving safer. Many dangerous scenarios may be like once-in-a-century floods — most people will never encounter them, but if they do, the consequences are catastrophic." The safety advantage of 4WD vehicles has long been proven. According to statistics from authoritative foreign institutions, the fatality rate of 2WD vehicle accidents is nearly twice that of 4WD vehicles. Therefore, the R&D of Hi4 technology not only covers daily driving scenarios — urban commuting, highway driving, mountainous road conditions, long-distance travel, etc. — but also focuses on "those 1% of extreme situations". He bluntly stated: "I tell our engineers that developing products is not about piling up technologies; we must keep users in mind. We should build cars the way Dujiangyan was constructed — covering all working conditions, ensuring reliable quality, and standing the test of time!" </p><p>As the world's first intelligent 4WD hybrid technology, Hi4 breaks the convention that "4WD performance must come with high energy consumption" through the aforementioned core design, achieving "4WD experience with 2WD energy consumption". The hybrid-dedicated engine with 41.5% thermal efficiency and maximum 340kW system power further enhance its energy efficiency and safety advantages. Hi4-equipped models like HAVAL H6, WEY G9, and GWM TANK 300/500/700 are now launching in Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and more markets to come. Our goal is to make 4WD vehicles accessible to every family. Jack Wey expressed that Dujiangyan Irrigation System is not just a great engineering project; it steeped in profound cultural heritage and embodies an "ecological philosophy" that respects the laws of nature, as well as philosophy of long-termism built on steady progress. GWM consistently prioritizes quality and safety, delivering high-value, highly reliable technologies and products to the global market.</p>

GWM Drives Homegrown Innovation to Build a Stronger Chinese Automotive Brand with High-Quality Development
<p>The 2025 GWM Smart Factory Half Marathon started shooting at GWM Xushui Smart Factory in Baoding, Hebei Province. Over 10,000 runners set off on a unique race, ran through the stamping, welding, and assembly workshops, and led to the high-speed loop track.</p><p> <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd9PZYcP54gCrZJTIwXMGUQCdnFMHTU9WwJvOCqD2ywferDcI42FS04jTgYsgKW0aOnT1hfFb6ItgDvp_d9mL1yW3p8cC7aA0fEjxVSQIYbWTECeH8Kd5NjyAsR1mr8J6N2IUng0w?key=Mgu-oyLwUkEr7ZCBw1MbYw" /></p><p> Inside the workshops, robotic arms moved rhythmically along both sides of the path, while autonomous transport vehicles zipped through the lines with precision……together forming a striking industrial panorama shaped by automation and intelligence.</p><p> “I was falling behind and running alone,” recalled one GWM employee who joined the race. “Then a robotic arm detected me and flashed ‘You can do it!’ on its screen. It was a small moment, but it gave me real motivation.”</p><p> Today, GWM’s smart production systems seamlessly integrate automation into every step of the manufacturing process. Robotic arms now handle everything from body welding and materials handling to adhesive application and part transfers with speed and precision. Backed by continuous independent innovation, GWM has achieved in-house R&D and production of key components including engines, transmissions, and power batteries.</p><p><strong>Relentless Pursuit of Core Technologies, GWM Accelerates Self-Reliant Innovation</strong></p><p> GWM employs a formidable engineering workforce of 23,000 professionals, meaning one in every four employees is an engineer.</p><p> At the company’s Environmental Wind Tunnel Laboratory, new vehicle prototypes are put through rigorous simulations: searing sunlight, extreme heat, heavy rainfall, and hurricane-force winds. Inside the sealed chamber, these vehicles rotate through intense climate scenarios. Outside, technicians closely monitor real-time data on massive digital dashboards—precision and performance.</p><p> “Our Environmental Wind Tunnel is one of the most advanced in the industry, comprising 35 subsystems, including high-powered air blowers, chassis dynamometers, temperature and humidity controls, solar simulation, and centralized control systems,” said Li Can, Head of Environmental Simulation Testing Department of GWM Technical Center. “It can recreate temperatures from -40°C to +60°C, with wind speeds up to 250km/h—enabling us to simulate extreme climate conditions from around the world and ensure our vehicles meet global standards from day one.”</p><p> This facility is just one piece of GWM’s expansive innovation ecosystem demonstrating our commitment to technology. The company has invested nearly RMB 10 billion to establish a world-class testing complex, with more than 2,000 testing capabilities across new energy, thermal management, as well as dedicated facilities for crash safety, and comprehensive proving ground.</p><p> “Electrification and artificial intelligence have opened a new frontier for the automotive industry,” said Jack Wey, Chairman of GWM. We are leaning in—with a full-stack approach to intelligent vehicle technology, including our proprietary end-to-end intelligent driving models, next-generation AI data intelligence architecture, and the in-house Jiuzhou Supercomputing Center. Our next-generation advanced driver assistance system, developed entirely in-house, enabled real-world driving scenarios—from dense city streets to open highways, from rural roads to precision parking. We believe technology is not just a tool—it is the engine that drives our future,” Jack Wey added. “That’s why we are unwavering in our commitment to R&D and innovation.”</p><p><strong>Driven as One, GWM Strengthens its Automotive Supply Chain Through Vertical Integration </strong></p><p> In the 1990s, GWM was still a small manufacturer focused on pickup trucks, relying heavily on external suppliers for core components like engines and transmissions. To change that, the company established its own engine and component subsidiaries, gradually integrating its supply chain to enhance in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities.</p><p> But such success also brought new challenges. These newly formed component subsidiaries depended almost entirely on internal orders from GWM, leaving them with little incentive for innovation. As a result, their costs exceeded those of third-party suppliers, and product competitiveness lagged behind.</p><p> In 2018, GWM made a bold move—all of its component subsidiaries were spun off as fully independent companies. Initially, this came at a cost. Without guaranteed orders from GWM, many struggled to survive. “That was one of the toughest periods we’ve been through,” recalled Zhang Dehui, Chairman of Nobo Automotive Systems. “We had to compete head-to-head with international suppliers for GWM’s business.</p><p>GWM was among the first Chinese automakers to pursue vertical integration. Over the past 35 years, GWM has built a comprehensive and fully integrated supply chain ecosystem—one in which each part supports the others, and resources are circulated with maximum efficiency. “To build a globally competitive automotive brand, strength on the production and technology side is only part of the equation,” said Jack Wey, Chairman of GWM. “We must also develop unique advantages on our channels and customer touchpoints. Our suppliers and dealers are not just partners, they’re our teammates, standing shoulder to shoulder with us.” “In the future,” he added, “We must fully harness the power of digital technology to enable seamless collaboration across the entire ecosystem, future competition won’t just be about supply chains—it will be about industrial ecosystems.”</p><p><strong>Driving Global Ambition, Spotlighting Chinese Brands</strong></p><p>“This EV offers a 200km range on a single charge, with fuel consumption as low as 7L/100km in hybrid mode. It features surround-sound audio, a built-in AI large language model, and even a 12.5L independent refrigerator that cools down to 0°C…” This May, international delegates inspected our new models including the WEY G9, GWM TANK 300 Hi4-T, and HAVAL H9, each equipped with cutting-edge technologies designed for global consumers</p><p>Jack Wey shared that the new plant in São Paulo, Brazil—set to begin operations mid-year—will have an annual production capacity of 50,000 new energy vehicles and create 2,000 local jobs. The plant will adopt intelligent, digitalized production systems and produce a range of powertrains including BEVs and hybrids, all equipped with advanced intelligent connectivity features.</p><p>GWM’s “Ecological Globalization” strategy has drawn increasing attention for its “ecosystem-based” approach. The company believes that internationalization is not just about shipping products overseas—it’s about brand globalization and industrial capability transfer. What began as simple product exports has now evolved into a comprehensive strategy of establishing fully integrated manufacturing bases abroad. GWM’s overseas operations now span the full value chain—R&D, production, supply, sales, and service—marking a true shift from product-driven globalization to full-scale “Ecological Globalization.”</p><p>Today, at GWM’s Rayong NEV Plant in Thailand, locally produced EV – ORA03 EV is steadily rolling off production line with over 50% local content.</p><p>This facility is GWM’s second full-production vehicle manufacturing base outside China—and the first overseas plant dedicated to new energy vehicles. Spanning 658,800 square meters, the plant is set to produce 80,000 units annually during the first phase. Designed to the highest global manufacturing standards, the plant incorporates advanced systems for production, quality management, environmental protection, and digital technologies. With fully upgraded intelligent equipment and technologies, the plant sets a new benchmark for intelligent, sustainable manufacturing upgrade in Southeast Asia.</p><p>Wayne Zhou, Marketing General Manager of GWM Thailand, emphasized: “Every Chinese automaker’s global expansion represents Chinese manufacturing excellence - we're China's calling card. Chinese NEV brands are accelerating Thailand's transition to the future of new energy mobility, bringing more NEVs to more Thai consumers.”</p><p>GWM’s global footprint continues to grow at pace. Its international sales network now covers over 170 countries and regions, supported by more than 1,400 overseas dealerships. The company has sold more than 2 million vehicles outside China, with a global user base exceeding 15 million. In 2024 alone, GWM recorded overseas sales of 450,000 units.</p>
