From a slow start to catching up and then to overtaking in corners, the road of new energy transformation of traditional car companies is gradually ushering in the dawn. At the same time, the market competition for new energy vehicles is also intensifying, and intelligence has become the focus of current car companies. Since the establishment of the company, Great Wall Motors has respected and adhered to the "long-termism", continuous innovation, reform and product structure adjustment have laid the foundation for the development of the enterprise, with the release of the new intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid technology Hi4, Great Wall Motors' ability to continue to accelerate the transformation of new energy has also been affirmed by the industry and beyond.
For Great Wall Motors, long-termism is not a way to the black, but in the face of market changes and uncertainties, it needs to keep pace with the times and innovate for change. Looking back on the past 2023, the "involution" of the automobile market is fierce, but Great Wall Motors has achieved a brilliant "report card". According to the data, in December 2023, Great Wall Motor sold 112,502 new vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 4527%；Among them, sales of new energy vehicles (including new energy commercial vehicles) were 29,858 units, a year-on-year increase of 16897%。
In the face of the tuyere of new energy, the transformation of Great Wall Motors has always adhered to the word "stability" and sought innovation in "fast". Since 2016, Great Wall Motors has laid out the battery, motor, and axle industries, as well as the whole chain of autonomous driving and cockpit. In July 2020, Great Wall Motor released three major technology brands: "Lemon Platform, Tank Platform, and Coffee Intelligence". In December of the same year, Great Wall Motor released the "Lemon Hybrid DHT" technology based on the extension of the lemon platform. Looking at the Chinese auto market at that time, Great Wall Motor was the first independent brand to show results in hybrid technology.
