In 1994, the Chinese government issued the Automobile Industrial Policy, and the cars produced by GWM became unregistered. GWM decided to find a new way out.

In more than 20 years of development, the management of GWM always takes the lead in honoring the mission of 'surprising customers, improving the well-being of staff, creating value for customers and contributing to the society' and the business philosophy of 'making progress every day'. By doing so, the Company has developed excellent corporate culture centering on honesty, integrity, creativity and quality that can unite employees, impress customers and attract potential partners, thus providing a permanent driving force for GWM to become an industry legend and realize sustainable and coordinated development.

Relying on world-leading R&D equipment and systems, GWM is capable of designing and developing SUVs, passenger cars and pickup series as well as powertrains. Moreover, GWM follows the 'excessive investment' principle, enhancing effectiveness, and seeking industry leadership, laying a solid foundation for continuous independent innovation.
