- As of October, GWM‘s cumulative sales in Uzbekistan have surpassed 10,000 units.
- The plant has completed local assembly of seven models.
GWM (HKG: 2333) saw the rollout of its 10,000th vehicle at its Uzbekistan assembly plant, marking the latest advancement in its overseas localized production.
The Chinese automaker announced the milestone in a statement today, two years after the factory began operations.
The facility operates as a KD (Knocked Down) plant — a trade term describing production where manufacturers import components as disassembled kits for local assembly.
GWM also maintains KD plants in Malaysia and Vietnam.
The Chinese automaker signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Uzbekistan’s ADM Jizzakh Auto Group in July 2023 to produce its models at the latter’s facility.
The facility witnessed the rollout of its first locally assembled Haval H6 SUV (sport utility vehicle) in November 2023.
Located in the Jizzakh Region, the 11,000-square-meter plant has completed assembly of seven models including the Haval H6, Haval Jolion, Haval M6, Haval Dargo, and Haval H9.
The facility will expand its localized product lineup by adding the Haval Raptor to production in 2026, GWM said.
In August this year, GWM launched the Haval H6 equipped with an Uzbek-language infotainment system in the country.
Upcoming models like the new Haval Jolion and Haval Raptor will also feature Uzbek-language infotainment systems and internet connectivity capabilities.
As of October, GWM’s cumulative sales in Uzbekistan have surpassed 10,000 units, achieving an 8.2 percent market share in the local SUV segment during January-September, according to the company.
GWM’s overseas sales reached 57,158 units in October, marking the third consecutive month of record highs and accounting for 39.95 percent of total monthly sales.
