Great Wall Motor's first new energy plant in Brazil will start operation next year

On May 5, the official of Great Wall Motor learned that Great Wall Motor recently signed a "Memorandum of Understanding on Hydrogen Energy Cooperation and Development" with the state government of Sao Paulo in Brazil, and disclosed that currently the Elase Marpolis factory is being upgraded smoothly according to the global smart factory standards of Great Wall Motor. It will start the modernization and expansion of the production line in the first half of this year, and is expected to officially start operation on May 1 next year.

In the future, the factory's production capacity will increase to 100000 vehicles per year and create 2000 direct employment opportunities.

It is understood that the first model of the factory is a hybrid elastic fuel pickup truck.

In this regard, Great Wall Motor said that in the current development stage of the Brazilian market, ethanol fueled plug-in hybrid power is one of the best technical solutions, which conforms to the geographical environment of Brazil with large territory and complex road conditions, and the current power generation and energy storage structure of the country. Currently, 80% of Brazil's electricity comes from renewable energy, far higher than the global average of 30%.

At the same time, under the strategic cooperation framework of China and Pakistan actively advocating mutual investment, R&D and innovation cooperation in renewable energy, bioenergy, hydrogen energy and other fields, and under the witness of Tassio Freitas, the governor of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Chen Peijie, the Chinese Consul General in Sao Paulo, the Sao Paulo government and Great Wall Motor signed a memorandum of cooperation on hydrogen energy projects to jointly promote the feasibility study of hydrogen powered transportation.

The state of S ? o Paulo hopes to become a leader in energy transformation. We have enormous potential in ethanol, which will be a bridge for us to move towards hydrogen powered vehicles. Hydrogen technology has broad prospects in the field of freight transportation, and this will be a revolution in Brazilian transportation. The technology (converting ethanol into hydrogen) is already in place, and only some incentives (policies) are needed We can also have ethanol factories produce green hydrogen gas. We are connecting various nodes of sustainable development and ultimately achieving this energy revolution. The whole of Brazil will benefit greatly from it The Governor of S ? o Paulo, Tassio Freitas, stated during his visit.

According to the plan of Great Wall Motor, it will invest more than 10 billion reais in Brazil in the next 10 years for its operation in Brazil. At that time, the factory will not only meet the supply demand of intelligent and electric vehicles in the Brazilian local market, but also serve as the fourth largest production base of Great Wall Motor in the world, radiating the entire Latin American new energy vehicle market.
