First Locally-Assembled GWM HAVAL H6 HEV Rolls Off the Line in Malaysia, Launch Set for October

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Great Wall Motor (GWM) Malaysia proudly announces the completion of its first locally-assembled Complete Knock-Down (CKD) unit of the GWM HAVAL H6 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) at EP Manufacturing Berhad’s new CKD plant in Melaka. The HAVAL H6 HEV will officially launch in October, with deliveries starting soon after.

This marks a significant milestone for GWM Malaysia, as the HAVAL H6 HEV becomes the brand’s first locally assembled model. Following the success of previous models like the ORA GOOD CAT, ORA 07, and GWM TANK 300, this rollout is part of GWM’s long-term strategy to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly mobility solutions and strengthen its global presence.

In the initial phase, the Melaka CKD plant aims to produce 10,000 units annually, with plans to expand this capacity to 300,000 units in the future. Supported by skilled engineering teams from GWM China, the plant adheres to strict standards to ensure the highest quality in production, emphasising GWM’s commitment to local content and supporting Malaysia’s economy.

Quality control is at the forefront of GWM’s production process, with each GWM HAVAL H6 HEV undergoing over 12 rigorous quality checks before leaving the production line. Additionally, each unit is subjected to a series of on-track safety tests to guarantee top-tier performance and reliability.

“At GWM Malaysia, our commitment goes beyond producing vehicles; we are dedicated to ensuring a seamless ownership experience,” said Cui Anqi, Managing Director of GWM Malaysia. “Every GWM HAVAL H6 HEV unit is meticulously inspected to meet our high standards for quality and reliability.”

With over 4 million units sold globally, the HAVAL H6 has been China’s best-selling SUV for more than 100 consecutive months. The new HAVAL H6 HEV continues this legacy, featuring GWM’s Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) technology, combining gasoline and electric power for an efficient yet powerful driving experience.

Designed for families, the GWM HAVAL H6 HEV offers spacious rear legroom, a large boot, and ventilated front seats for added comfort on long trips.
