GWM Plans to Invest RMB 100 billion in R&D Targeting New Energy and Intelligent Fields in the Coming Five Years
BAODING, China, July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Recently, GWM held the 8th Technology Festival in Baoding at its headquarters. 
At the opening ceremony, GWM Chairman Jack Wei emphasized the next-generation 
clean energy-driven smart cars would constitute the new pattern in future 
automobile industry development. GWM plans to invest RMB 100 billion in R&D in 
the coming five years for NEVS and smart vehicles, offering more 
environment-friendly, smarter and safer products for global users.

Official reports show that, in the new energy field, the "Dayu" power battery 
unveiled by GWM eradicates fire and explosion once the cells of different 
chemical systems come across thermal runaway, dispelling users' anxiety about 
the safety of electric vehicles. In the hybrid power field, the world's first 
L.E.M.O.N. hybrid DHT launched by GWM enables oil-to-electricity switching 
based on scene intelligence, allowing a fuel-saving rate as high as over 50% in 
urban running conditions. The higher the vehicle's speed in highway running 
conditions, the larger the fuel-saving rate. In the hydrogen energy field, GWM 
has developed the cathode air cleaner with 4 air filter elements including 
activated carbon and synthetic fibre to protect fuel cells, which can strongly 
adsorb and filter harmful substances and effectively protect the service life 
of the fuel power system. Its independently developed hydrogen management 
system actively monitors the system's safety to guarantee the all-around 
security of vehicles and people, while optimizing the valve and pipeline 
structure of the hydrogen storage system.

GWM promotes the upgrading of "COFIS Intelligence" 1.0 to 2.0. It adopts the 
brand-new GEEP electronic and electrical architecture and intelligent 
wire-controlled chassis supporting L4 level automatic driving and promotes the 
integration and upgrades of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and 
intelligent services, which facilitates GWM vehicles to be smart travel 
terminals providing services covering more than 40 scenarios. For example, the 
steering wheel of the GWM iNest 2.0 intelligent cockpit can be switched to the 
left-hand, center or right-hand side corresponding to the dashboard, and the 
seat can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing the meeting mode at any time. The 
pioneering in-car collagen beauty system supports skincare. The vehicle-mounted 
oxygen generator meets the oxygen generation needs for both household and 
medical use. The GWM IOT interconnection capability also enables car-home 
interconnection, voice control of intelligent devices at home, etc., bringing a 
richer "car-life" to users.

GWM has always adhered to the R&D concept of "excessive investment, precise 
R&D". Up to now, it has won over 10,000 technical patents. Moreover, it 
vigorously introduces R&D talent and has established a team consisting of 
experts in various fields from many countries, with nearly 15,000 R&D staff 
members.

The R&D investment of RMB 100 billion will enable GWM to recruit more global 
talent, continuously exert its strength on new energy and intelligent fields 
and realize GWM 2025 Strategy facilitating "environmental-friendly, 
intelligent, updated and collective" development.
