GWM Malaysia proudly announced the successful rollout of its first locally assembled vehicle, the HAVAL H6 HEV, at the CKD plant in Melaka, operated by EP Manufacturing Berhad. This milestone marks a significant step for GWM Malaysia, following the introduction of its previous models, the ORA GOOD CAT, ORA 07, and GWM TANK 300.

The HAVAL H6 HEV, as the first locally assembled model, underscores GWM's long-term commitment to expanding its presence in the Malaysian market. The company aims to provide Malaysian consumers with a diverse range of high-quality vehicles in the future.

The Melaka plant, in partnership with EP Manufacturing Berhad, boasts an initial production capacity of 10,000 units per year, with plans to expand to 30,000 units in the next phase. The facility operates under the guidance of GWM’s headquarters, utilizing expertise in engineering and stringent quality control systems. It was officially opened after passing rigorous inspections to ensure all processes adhere to high standards.

GWM Malaysia prioritizes product quality control, and the HAVAL H6 HEV will undergo extensive inspections following assembly. This includes over 12 stringent quality checks to guarantee that every vehicle meets the highest safety standards. Additionally, the vehicle will be subjected to performance tests on dedicated test drive roads, highlighting GWM’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

The HAVAL H6 has previously achieved remarkable success in the Chinese market, securing over 100 monthly sales championships and exceeding monthly sales of 80,000 units at its peak. With global sales surpassing 4 million units, the successful local production of the first unit in Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in GWM’s development in the region.

As a strong advocate for globalization, GWM continues to expand its international presence. This year, several KD plant projects have commenced production in countries including Ecuador, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Ghana, reflecting GWM’s commitment to local integration and job creation.

Malaysia represents a crucial strategic market for GWM within ASEAN and globally. The company remains dedicated to its long-term strategy of providing safe, intelligent, and high-quality vehicles and services to Malaysian consumers.
