Adhering to long-termism, Great Wall Motor always insists on localized cultivation, having established the Rayong plant in Thailand, which possesses complete vehicle manufacturing capabilities and world-class quality inspection systems and can produce several models such as Haval, Tank, and Ora. In November 2020, Great Wall Motor acquired the Rayong plant in Thailand, becoming the first wholly-owned Chinese car brand to enter Thailand. Subsequently, Great Wall Motor constantly introduced core spare parts enterprises such as Seiko and Mand into Thailand, which created the most comprehensive, deepest, and earliest layout, with over 50% of its spare parts localized.
