Overall, the sales volumes of Haval, Wey, Tank, and Ora under Great Wall Motors were all good in August, achieving year-on-year growth. However, the automotive industry is currently in a critical period of transition to electrification and intelligence. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, car companies including BYD and Geely Automobile have achieved “curve overtaking” through new energy vehicles. As one of China’s private car companies, Great Wall Motors is also in a critical stage of new energy transformation. Facing the fiercely competitive Chinese automotive market, Great Wall Motors still needs to continuously improve the differentiation and competitiveness of its products.
