GWM Malaysia exports over 1100 G9 MPVs, local assembly crosses 10,000-unit milestone

KUALA LUMPUR: GWM Malaysia has exported more than 1,100 locally assembled WEY G9 MPVs to Thailand and Indonesia, marking a significant milestone in its regional growth journey. The company has also reached another key milestone, with cumulative GWM vehicle assembly in Malaysia surpassing 10,000 units since CKD production began in October 2024.

These achievements mark the company’s progress from serving the domestic market to supporting the wider ASEAN region, and strengthen Malaysia's role as a strategic manufacturing and export hub.

"Malaysia plays an important role in GWM's ASEAN growth strategy. Our progress from local assembly to regional exports reflects the capabilities we are building together with our Malaysian partners. With our GWM WEY G9 now reaching customers in Thailand and Indonesia, we are proud to see Malaysia taking on a greater role in GWM's regional growth," said Stan Li Hao, Managing Director, Commercial Operations, GWM Malaysia.

"Malaysia is more than an important market for GWM. It is becoming an increasingly important part of our regional growth and manufacturing strategy. These milestones reflect our long-term confidence in Malaysia and our commitment to growing together with the country's automotive industry, creating greater opportunities for local capabilities to contribute to ASEAN," said Cui Anqi, Managing Director, Corporate Affairs, GWM Malaysia.

GWM entered Malaysia in 2022, with the launch of the Ora Good Cat EV. Since then, the automaker has continued to expand its product portfolio, dealer network and local assembly activities. The company started local assembly in 2024, with the HAVAL H6 HEV, in partnership with EP Manufacturing Berhad in Melaka. This expanded with the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV and the newly launched WEY G9 Hi4 HEV models.

From introducing new technologies to expanding regional exports, we want to create opportunities that contribute to the development of Malaysia's automotive industry," said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer, GWM Malaysia.
