GWM's sales 'outpace 2024 total' in first six months of 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Great Wall Motor Sales Malaysia Sdn Bhd's (GWM) sales in the first half of 2025 (1H25) have exceeded its total for the whole of 2024. It also marks a 20.3 per cent increase from the previous six months, GWM said, without sharing the actual figures. This reinforces its position as a key player and underscores the brand's growing influence among automotive players in Malaysia, the company added. GWM claimed that it remains firmly within the top three Chinese automotive brands in the country, a position strengthened by its expanding retail footprint and a compelling line-up of new energy vehicles tailored for the Malaysian market. By staying attuned to local needs and evolving market trends, GWM said it continues to deliver meaningful growth in a competitive automotive landscape. GWM chief operating officer Roslan Abdullah said this is not just about numbers, it's about momentum and meaning. "Our growth shows that Malaysians are embracing our vision of cars that combine innovation, value, and relevance to their everyday lives," he added. Roslan also said the company's first-half performance reflects the strength of its product portfolio and growing recognition of GWM as a serious automotive player in Malaysia. Spearheaded by the Haval H6 HEV, GWM claimed it has emerged as a leading hybrid choice for Malaysian drivers. It added that rather than engaging in price-driven competition, the company focuses on delivering safety, innovation, and a premium driving experience. Beyond product success, GWM said it is also strengthening its nationwide footprint. The brand has expanded its network from 18 outlets in early 2024 to 26 by mid-2025, with plans to reach 35 outlets by year-end. In 2H25, GWM will broaden its portfolio with two new additions aimed at expanding its presence in the premium and performance segments.

Facing global headwinds, Chinese automakers make a play for Africa
BYD, China's top producer of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, entered the South African market in 2023. (BYD pic) JOHANNESBURG : Chinese automakers are pushing to unlock Africa's underdeveloped potential, with a focus on electric and hybrid vehicles, as restrictions on exports to the US and Europe send them on a global quest for new markets. Though home to over a billion people, low incomes and high import duties have long hampered manufacturers' efforts to sell more cars in Africa. Unreliable power availability and a lack of charging infrastructure have meanwhile held back electric vehicle (EV) uptake. However, companies including BYD, Chery Auto and Great Wall Motor (GWM) are aiming to leverage low prices to advance where others have struggled and use an expansion in South Africa as a stepping stone in a continent-wide strategy. 'We treat South Africa as a very important market for our global expansion,' said Tony Liu, the CEO of Chery South Africa, calling Africa's most developed auto market a 'gateway to the African continent'. Nearly half of the 14 Chinese automotive brands currently active in South Africa launched only last year. More, including DongFeng, Leapmotor, Dayun and Changan are set to enter the market soon. As new players move in, more established companies are looking into producing cars locally, allowing them to benefit from a government incentive programme offering rebates for domestically made vehicles. Liu said Chery – the number 2 Chinese auto company in South Africa – was considering partnerships or building its own factory to produce cars for the South African market and export to the rest of the continent and potentially Europe. Omoda & Jaecoo – Chery's premium independent brand – is also conducting feasibility studies for local assembly, its South Africa general manager Hans Greyling told Reuters. Until now, it had not made sense for GWM, the largest Chinese automaker in South Africa by sales, to localise component production, its COO Conrad Groenewald told Reuters, as Chinese imports had been cheaper. That is changing, however, and outsourcing to a local manufacturer or setting up a semi-knockdown plant, which would turn partially pre-assembled kits into finished vehicles, were options. 'I think now that we've got economies of scale … We need to revisit those feasibility studies in the next 12 months,' he said. Troubles with Europe and the US Chinese carmakers, which are in the midst of a rapid switch to EVs and hybrid production, are facing growing obstacles in the US and Europe. Growth of new EV sales has been slower than expected in many wealthy markets. The EU's hefty duties on imports of Chinese-made EVs and 100% tariffs in the US have erased their primary competitive advantage: price. Efforts to push into large emerging markets like India and Brazil have also proven to be complicated. While the African market is still comparatively tiny, industry sources point to massive potential for growth. South Africa, a market long dominated by the likes of Volkswagen and Toyota, manufactured just under 600,000 cars last year. However, the government estimates production could grow to up to 1.5 million by 2035 given the right incentives. The former head of the Association of African Automotive Manufacturers once estimated Sub-Saharan Africa's potential market at between 3 million and 4 million new car sales annually. Chinese companies stand poised to test that potential. Chery is launching sales of eight hybrid cars, including five extended-range plug-in hybrids and three hybrid models, in South Africa. It will also introduce two small crossovers, while a pickup truck is scheduled to go on sale next year. It also plans to bring its EV line iCar and another brand, Lepas, to South Africa in the near future, Liu said. BYD, China's top producer of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, entered the South African market in 2023. It recently doubled its South Africa line-up, adding the plug-in hybrid Shark pickup truck, plug-in hybrid SEALION 6 crossover and fully electric SEALION 7 SUV models to a range that had previously only included battery-powered models. Hybrids and a pan-African push Auto executives interviewed by Reuters view plug-in hybrids as critical to their Africa strategy. 'Battery electric vehicles have not really taken off in South Africa,' Omoda & Jaecoo's Greyling said. 'We've gone the route of looking more towards traditional hybrids or plug-in hybrids,' Greyling added. South African sales of so-called new energy vehicles – a class including traditional and plug-in hybrids along with EVs – more than doubled from 2023 to last year, accounting for 3% share of total new vehicle sales. While the numbers may still be small – 15,611 vehicles, mainly traditional hybrids – Chinese companies are encouraged by the trend. 'Based on our experience in China, once the market share of new energy vehicles reaches almost 10%, then the demand will start to explode,' Chery's Liu said. Chinese automakers face consumer skepticism over quality, spare parts availability and the untested resale value of their vehicles. However, they are counting on price and advanced technology setting them apart from Africa's traditional market leaders and are focusing on offering plug-in hybrids and EVs with a starting price of under R400,000 (US$22,500). 'As long as they remain affordable from an up-front cost perspective, they will be differentiated against legacy brands offering similar specifications,' said Greg Cress of advisory firm Accenture. Omoda & Jaecoo, which launched in Africa in 2023 and operates 52 dealerships in South Africa, Namibia, Eswatini and Botswana, hopes to triple sales in the next 18 months and enter new markets Zambia and Tanzania. BYD plans to expand its dealership network in East, Southern and West Africa, including a first-time entry into Tanzania. Steve Chang, BYD Auto South Africa's general manager, said he is not daunted by the slow adoption of EVs and Africa's internal combustion engine-dominated vehicles market. 'I think South Africa and the rest of Africa have a very big opportunity to what I call leapfrog from ICE into renewable energy (cars),' he said. 'Africa is a very big market,' he added.

China auto industry inflates sales by exporting new cars as 'used
BEIJING/SHANGHAI: China's auto industry has inflated car sales for years through a burgeoning government-backed grey market that registers new cars right off the assembly line and then ships them overseas as "used" vehicles. These so-called "zero-mileage" cars have never been driven but are exported as used to markets like Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East. The practice allows Chinese automakers to show growth and offload inventory that would be difficult to sell domestically, according to a Reuters review of government documents and interviews with five auto dealers and traders. "This is the outcome of an almost four-year price war that has made companies desperate to book any sales possible," said Tu Le, Michigan-based founder of consultancy Sino Auto Insights. The practice only gained national attention after the boss of Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor criticised the sale of zero-mileage used cars within China in May. On June 10, the People's Daily condemned the practice. The paper, which often reflects the views of China's top Communist Party leadership, blamed such fake used cars for depressing prices during a severe domestic price war and called for "tough regulatory action" to restore order. Despite the criticism, the export of these fake used cars is actively encouraged by regional governments in China, according to a Reuters review of state media and government documents. Local authorities see the practice as crucial for meeting Beijing's ambitious economic growth targets. Reuters identified 20 local governments – including major export hubs like Guangdong and Sichuan – that expressed support for zero-mileage used car exports in publicly available policy documents. These include creating extra export licences, fast-tracking tax rebates, investing in export infrastructure, and funding trade networking events, documents showed. How the scheme works: As a new car rolls off the production line, an exporter purchases the vehicle from the automaker or dealer, registers it with a Chinese licence plate, and immediately labels it as second-hand for export. The automaker then books the sale and logs the revenue. Such support would make little sense outside China's centrally planned economy. But in China, meeting growth and employment targets can earn promotions or unlock more funding, while missing them can result in demotions of local officials. Because exporters both buy and sell the same vehicle, the transaction value is effectively doubled, allowing local governments to inflate gross domestic product statistics, two Chinese auto executives said. The practice is one sign that China's car industry – the world's largest – is producing more than it can sell domestically, fuelling a prolonged price war and intensifying global concerns about auto "dumping". Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the China Passenger Car Association, defended the practice during a panel discussion hosted by Tencent's news portal. He said it offered a workaround for reaching overseas markets that are hard to enter due to rising trade barriers. He added it helped satisfy demand in countries where Chinese brands had not yet established a foothold. Reuters contacted all the local governments mentioned in this article. None responded. China's State Council and commerce ministry did not respond to requests for comment. China's foreign ministry referred queries to "the department in charge" without elaborating. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT Local government backing takes many forms, such as simplifying paperwork, providing extra vehicle registration quotas, and offering free warehousing near China's borders, documents showed. In February 2024, Shenzhen's planning commission pledged to expand zero-mileage used car exports as part of a goal to export 400,000 vehicles of all types for the year. In neighbouring Guangzhou, authorities introduced a mechanism to speed up such exports by allocating additional vehicle registration quotas – otherwise restricted to combat traffic and air pollution. Xinmi, a district of Zhengzhou in Henan province, said in February it helped Xinjiasheng Supply Chain Management Co. Ltd "promote zero-mileage used car exports, in order to use exports to drive domestic sales." Reuters found a dozen local governments incorporating the practice into their strategic growth plans. Sichuan province said in an October policy document it helped create an "online export ecosystem for zero-mileage used NEVs" (new energy vehicles) via platforms such as Alibaba International, which now hosts 100 Sichuan-based used car sellers. Xinjiasheng Supply Chain Management and Alibaba did not respond to requests for comment. MARKET SHIFTS The practice emerged after China legalised used car exports in 2019. Since then, thousands of traders have been involved in labelling new vehicles as used to exploit the export channel, said Wang Meng, a consultant to the China Automobile Dealers Association. Of the 436,000 used passenger and commercial vehicles exported by China in 2024, 90 per cent are estimated to be zero-mileage, according to Wang. China overtook Japan as the world's largest new car exporter in 2023, shipping 6.41 million vehicles. About six per cent of these were zero-mileage used cars, Wang said. Dealers and experts said most zero-mileage used cars are petrol-powered and less appealing in China's increasingly EV-focused market. However, electric vehicles, which benefit from government subsidies, also make up a sizeable share. Chongqing-based Huanyu Auto entered the zero-mileage export business in 2022. "The returns were so good in 2022 and 2023 that we could earn 10,000 yuan (US$1,400) profit on a sedan bought for 40,000 yuan and sold in Central Asia," said William Ng, the firm's international market director. Criticism is building. On June 7, Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, urged a crackdown on such exports, warning it could "enormously damage Chinese brands' image" abroad. Changan did not respond to a request for further comment. Xing Lei, founder of US-based consultancy AutoXing, said the trend could make investors question Chinese automakers' sales figures. "How many are real or inflated? No one knows," Xing said. 'DUMPING' CONCERNS The growing number of new cars sold overseas as "used" is reinforcing fears that China is dumping state-subsidised vehicles into foreign markets, especially as US tariffs close one of its largest destinations. Several countries are starting to push back. Some worry the influx will overwhelm local dealers and confuse buyers. "We're definitely seeing friction and tension in markets where there are already manufacturers on the ground," said Michael Dunne, a consultant who tracks China's auto sector. In 2023, Russia banned zero-mileage used cars from brands with official distributors, affecting Chinese automakers like Chery, Changan and Geely, according to Heihe's commerce bureau. Geely declined to comment, while Chery and Changan did not respond. Other countries such as Jordan are tightening the legal definition of "used" by requiring longer post-registration or post-manufacture timelines before export. Ng of Huanyu Auto said competition from small-scale sellers and even influencers on platforms like TikTok is squeezing margins. "They used to sell vases and wine, and are now selling cars in the same way," he said. "This is chaos."
