L.E.M.O.N. Platform, an Accelerator for the Development of GWM
BAODING, China, Feb. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Recently, GWM participated in the Thailand International Motor Expo with its 
technical achievements on the L.E.M.O.N. Platform to bring a new experience to 
users around the world.

L.E.M.O.N. is a technology platform independently developed by GWM from a 
global perspective, featuring flexibility, high performance, high safety, and 
lightweight. All these features bring both advantages of high power performance 
and low energy consumption to platform-based vehicles.

The platform provides four powertrain solutions for users to choose from, 
including Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Hybrid, Pure Electric and Hydrogen 
Fuel Cell. In particular, its gasoline-electric hybrid is available in both DHT 
and P2/P2+P4 architectures. The DHT architecture is more suitable for urban 
commuting because of longer endurance mileage and low energy consumption. For 
example, the HAVAL H6 HEV with this architecture has a fuel-saving rate of 
48-50%, with a pure electric endurance mileage of 200 km. 

Lightweight is one of the most important features of the L.E.M.O.N. Platform. 
In addition to designing an all-aluminum body to reduce vehicle weight, it also 
adopts the hot-stamped one-piece door ring solution to further cut the weight. 
HAVAL DARGO, recently launched overseas, has applied Tailor Rolled Blank (TRB) 
created by this platform. More significantly, this vehicle uses high-strength 
steel accounting for more than 75% and the highest strength of hot-stamped 
steel exceeds 1900MPa, which can better meet users' demands for off-road fun.

In terms of safety, L.E.M.O.N. Platform also has high requirements on this 
performance. It has verified 18 typical use scenarios of global users, such as 
German users driving on a highway without speed limit and Middle Eastern users 
driving in an extremely hot environment. It also strictly complies with the 
NCAP five-star safety rating and IIHS's highest rating in North America during 
each verification process. For instance, HAVAL JOLION is equipped with the high 
safety performance of this platform. The 360° panoramic image system is used to 
protect drivers' safety that can provide a high-definition display without 
blind areas to users, helping them observe surrounding road conditions and 
ensure all-around driving safety.

Currently, the models built on the L.E.M.O.N. Platform, such as the 3rd Gen 
HAVAL H6, HAVAL DARGO, HAVAL JOLION and ORA GOODCAT, have been launched 
globally.

As one of the leading platforms in the automotive industry, the L.E.M.O.N. 
Platform empowers the products and gradually becomes an accelerator for GWM's 
global development. Rotating President of GWM Mu Feng said that the L.E.M.O.N. 
Platform is GWM's core competitiveness in the next decade, and also the solid 
support for GWM to cope with global competition.
