Great Wall Car History

Great Wall Motors Company is China's largest automobile manufacturing company. The company got its name in honor of the Great Wall of China.

This relatively young company was founded in 1976 and has achieved tremendous success in a short period of time, establishing itself as the largest manufacturer in the auto industry.

The first specificity of the company was the production of trucks. Initially, the company assembled cars under license from other companies. Later, the company opened its own design department.

In 1991, Great Wall produced its first commercial van.

And in 1996, based on a model from the Toyota Company, she created her first passenger car, the Deer, equipped with a pickup body. This model is in good demand and is especially common in the CIS countries.

Over the years, the Deer family already has many upgraded models.

The first export took place in 1997 and the company entered the international market.

With the beginning of the new century, Great Wall creates a division for the development of powertrains for future models of the company.

Soon the form of ownership of the company also changed by placing its shares on the stock exchange, and now it was a joint stock company.

In 2006 Great Wall enters the European market, exporting models such as the Hover and Wingle. The export of these two models was significantly larger, with more than 30 units of the Hover being exported to Italy alone. These models were dominated by quality, reliability and affordable price. These characteristics have generated demand. There have been improved versions in the future.

Based on several older models, the company introduced the Voleex C2010 (aka Phenom) in 10.

The modernization of Phenom led to the emergence of the Voleex C20 R off-road vehicle. The company's off-road vehicles took an active part in racing competitions, showing fairly high performance.

The company has also entered into numerous contracts with leading technology firms like Bosch and Delphi, using their technologies to further improve vehicle production. Also, several branches were opened in different countries.

In early 2007, he creates projects for the creation of a minivan and new models of minibuses, which were soon presented to the world with high technical characteristics.

Soon, the company ousted the Chinese auto industry, becoming the leader and occupying almost half of the entire Chinese car market, as well as half of the Thai one. The Coolbear touring car was in great demand in Thailand.

The company expanded and another factory was built.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to acquire shares in Daihatsu, which is a Japanese automaker. This did not happen, and the Great Wall eventually fell under the influence of the Toyota Company.

At the moment the company is rapidly flourishing and there are already more than twenty branches. The company also has several centers specializing in the research and development base for the introduction of new technologies. In a short time, the company has gained not only the popularity of the Chinese market, becoming a leader, but also gained success internationally, exporting its cars to more than 100 countries around the world.
