JAKARTA, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

On August 8th, Chinese automaker Wuling celebrated the Indonesian production 
rollout of its first global electric vehicle, the Air ev (right-hand drive 
version). This marks an important milestone for Wuling New Energy in global 
outreach as it achieves one million production models. Mr. Airlangga Hartarto, 
Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs, and Mr. Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, 
Minister of Industry, Indonesia, together with Chinese ambassador to Indonesia 
Lu Kang, attended this launching ceremony.

Based in China, Wuling New Energy has sold more than 1 million vehicles in 5 
years, marking it the leading new energy automobile company in worldwide which 
reached this target the fastest. Joining the global market push, the Air ev 
will accelerate expansion in global markets, with the first stop in Indonesia. 
Moving forward, the Air ev will enter India, Egypt, and more regions around the 
world, asserting China's status as a leader in smart automotive manufacturing.

The Air ev rollout aligns with the 'blue ocean' market focus of the Chinese 
"Belt and Road" initiative and acts to represent China's strengths in 
intelligent manufacturing. As the best-selling Chinese car brand in Indonesia, 
the Indonesian government noted the great importance of the development of 
Wuling. In preparation for the global launch, the Air ev will be on display at 
the Indonesian International Auto Show on August 11th.

Garnering international recognition and praise, the Air ev is set to upgrade 
the world's perception of "Made in China." In November 2022, the G20 summit 
will be opened in Bali, Indonesia, and due to its superior-quality travel 
experience and commitment to environmental sustainability, the Air ev has been 
chosen as the official vehicle for the 2022 G20 Summit. Wuling will demonstrate 
the innovative achievements of China's intelligent manufacturing on a global 
stage, adding value to the summit to be a complete success.

Wuling New Energy drives development with innovation. The company is set to 
make every effort to advance on its overseas activities, continuing to bring 
high-quality new energy vehicles and service experiences to global car owners 
whilst demonstrating the high-tech capabilities of "Made in China."
