For the sake of customers’ demands in driving on multiple levels, Great Wall Motors is always committed to application of new technologies to its products, and keeps raising new requirements for auto intellectualization and informatization. For example, vehicle navigation, safety protection, reversing camera and others are all considered as important links in Great Wall Motors’ manufacturing process.

As to the cooperation between Great Wall Motors and China Unicom, both parties will deepen information contents, specifically expressed in establishment of telematics service support platform, sharing of information resources and service systems, enhancement of basic information services, and promotion of telematics progress on the basis of the former communication network cooperation.

It has both fixed-line and mobile networks as well as currently the most advanced WCDMA 3G mobile communicating networks, its self-owned high-tech telematics service support platform (TSSP) has already become a strong support for telematics services. It is estimated that Great Wall Motors’ products of all series would be equipped with telematics service application by the first half of 2013.
