By 2023, HAVAL plans to launch 20 global products with leading technologies of the new four modernizations, and the ratio of new energy models will exceed 60%. Among them, HAVAL H6 and F7, as the flagship models, aim to be among the world’s top 10 SUVs. Among the new energy models, HAVAL Series-Parallel High-pressure HEV products will be mass produced in 2021. In 2022, HAVAL hydrogen-powered SUV will make its debut at the Beijing Winter Olympics to show China’s strength to the world.

On behalf of HAVAL, Wei Jianjun also launched the initiative to establish a global alliance of Chinese auto enterprises. HAVAL is willing to share innovative global technologies with excellent Chinese self-owned brands, carry out in-depth cooperation in all fields such as new energy, intelligent drive and intelligent network, and promote the globalization of Chinese automobiles, so that China could transform from a major auto importer to a major auto exporter.

Meanwhile, Phil Simmons, the Global Design Director and Vice President of Great Wall, also gave his in-depth interpretation of the global design concept of HAVAL. He defined the future globalization design language of HAVAL as “i-Home Platform”, which includes three trends, i.e., SUV coupe, AI, and platform expansion. The platform can be flexibly expanded into traditional fuel SUV, fuel-cell-powered SUV, plug-in hybrid SUV, hydrogen-powered SUV and other new-energy-powered SUV models. In the future, HAVAL will meet the multiple demands of global consumers with more comfortable, fashionable and intelligent products.
