【Smart Car Pie News】On January 13, in response to rumors that Great Wall Motors and Land Rover brands had established a joint venture, Great Wall Motors officials said that there was no relevant news at present.
It is reported that the previous construction project product plan has the content of "Great Wall Land Rover" and "lightweight automobile chassis product". But in fact, the solution should be from Great Wall Motor's supply chain system, which is intended to provide land Rover with corresponding parts, rather than the car-making plan of the joint venture between the two companies. However, there were indeed rumors of Great Wall Motors acquiring the Land Rover brand, but India's Tata Group seems reluctant to sell shares.
It was also revealed that great wall will cooperate with Land Rover to launch a new fuel and plug-in hybrid model. According to the analysis, Land Rover has tried to launch plug-in hybrid models in recent years, but the market response is not good. With great wall motor's lemon DHT platform, Land Rover can launch a gasoline-electric hybrid model or a plug-in hybrid model, thereby reducing costs and prices.
Looking back at Great Wall Motor's sales last year, its cumulative sales for the whole year were nearly 1.281 million units, an increase of 15.24% year-on-year. Among them, the total sales of automobiles in December exceeded 160,000 units, an increase of 8.17% year-on-year. In the first half of 2021, jaguar Land Rover's cumulative sales in the domestic market were only 55,000 vehicles, and the combined average monthly sales of land rover and Jaguar brands were less than 10,000 vehicles. In this case, cooperation with domestic car companies is a correct choice.
