Amidst the buzz of the Chengdu Motor Show, GWM’s Chongqing Yongchuan Factory opened its doors to an international audience for the very first time. Around 90 visitors from countries like Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, and Thailand gathered at the cutting-edge "GWM Global Off-Road Factory."
This isn’t just any factory. It’s where off-road legends like the TANK 300, HAVAL H9, and POER come to life. The Yongchuan facility shows off GWM’s impressive skills in advanced manufacturing. Attendees got an up-close look at the factory, watching as robots handled everything—from stamping to welding, painting to assembly. No humans involved, just smooth, automated processes, all driven by precision and tech. It’s a major shift in the “Made in China” story, showing how far manufacturing has come.
Visitors were in awe. Not just at how efficient the factory is, but at the high level of technology on display. Their admiration extended beyond GWM to the entire Chinese automotive industry, which is now seen as a global leader in smart manufacturing. With GWM continuing to pour resources into its Yongchuan base, it’s building a strong supply chain and cementing its place on the world stage. This progress is boosting GWM’s global ambitions, giving the brand a new level of confidence.
But the visit wasn’t just about touring the factory. Participants got behind the wheel and hit the rugged terrain to test drive GWM’s off-road heroes—the TANK 300, HAVAL H9, and POER. The vehicles handled the rough landscapes like a dream, delivering power and comfort. A Saudi visitor, clearly impressed after the drive, said, “GWM blew me away with its off-road performance. I’m excited about the future of smart driving.”
That kind of feedback shows just how committed GWM is to pushing the limits of automotive innovation.
This trip wasn’t just a look at how vehicles are made—it was a glimpse into the future of driving. GWM is changing the way the world sees Chinese manufacturing, setting a new path for the industry and showcasing what Chinese innovation can really do.
