Since the plant began operation in September 2022, GWM has produced two of its global models at the facility— the Haval H6 and Haval JOLION. Notably, the Haval H6 HEV became its first locally assembled new energy vehicle (NEV) in Pakistan. During this period, GWM has provided comprehensive technical support and training to ensure the plant's efficient and stable operation.

Yang Weiqi, Vice President of GWM International, stated, "GWM is committed to delivering products that meet local demand across global markets. This year, we introduced three NEV models — the Ora Good Cat, Lightning Cat, and Tank 500 HEV — attracting widespread attention. Looking ahead, we will expand our range by introducing more NEV options, including PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) and BEVs (battery electric vehicles), to serve global users with a diverse product lineup."

In the first nine months of 2024, GWM achieved cumulative sales of 6,656 vehicles in Pakistan, representing a 245% year-on-year growth. This surge has played a key role in increasing Pakistan's NEV market penetration from less than 1% in 2022 to nearly 11% by 2024.
