Facing 2020, a year full of uncertainties, GWM will win the war in the future with thorough self-reform. Under the guidance of the goal of transforming to a global mobility technology company, GWM's global development has "blossomed in many places", forming a "12+5" global production layout and a "seven countries and ten places" research and development layout.
Global Sales of GWM POER Started Officially and HAVAL Expanded New Territory
From January to November 2020, GWM sold 961,489 new models worldwide, with an overseas export sales increase by 2.77% year-on-year to 61,563, helping the annual sales volume of GWM pickup trucks to exceed 200,000. The steady increase in overseas sales originates from GWM's opening up of new overseas markets and deep cultivation of existing international markets.
During the global tour in 2020, the global sales of GWM POER Pickup Truck officially started in November, which subverted consumers' traditional perception of pickup trucks, opened up overseas markets such as Australia, New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Iraq and Jordan, and embarked on a new journey of overseas expansion of Chinese pickup trucks through the construction of new concepts of pickup trucks online and offline.
Especially in the Chilean market, GWM POER became hot before sales, with an intended order reaching 235 units, setting a record of customers in China's pickup truck industry, and making a successful debut of the POER pickup truck for sale in South America. GWM POER was snapped up within 22 hours of pre-sale for the local user market, setting the fastest pre-sale record in the history of pickup trucks and featuring on the diamond MT cover. In the Iraqi market, GWM POER made its high-profile debut, pursuing dreams and exploring unknown pioneer images with the new era trend pioneer and boosting the Iraqi pickup truck industry into the era of intelligent riding.
HAVAL officially landed in Kuwait market in 2020 and cooperated with dealers in Qatar, Jordan and other international markets, to further improve GWM's business segment in the Middle East market. With excellent products and good reputation accumulated over the years, HAVAL defended the challenges of the pandemic in Australia, Ukraine, Iraq and other places, overcame many difficulties in production, logistics, delivery, customer sources and other links, and achieved a rise against the trend, fully demonstrating the strength of GWM’s whole system.
It is worth mentioning that, at the beginning of the year, facing the problem of production and supply being blocked due to the pandemic, GWM overcame difficulties and cooperated with relevant departments in many parts of the country. After the four-place cross-regional coordination in 12 days, GWM ensured the normal production of new cars for export with high efficiency and high quality, and completed the first batch of export orders since the resumption of work of this year as scheduled, thus comprehensively enhancing the global reputation of the enterprise and the global image of the brand, on which CCTV's LIVE NEWS carried out in-depth reports.
