In order to cut into the new energy commercial vehicle track, Great Wall Motor is serious. Since 2023, Great Wall Motor has made great moves in succession, and the field of "sword finger" commercial vehicles can be described as sharp.
Billion-dollar "gamble"
What new changes have been brought to the industry since the implementation of Great Wall Motor's new energy strategy? How to make a beautiful turnaround in the field of new energy commercial vehicles? Is the "three tracks parallel" of hydrogen energy, pure electricity and hybrid power reliable? With these questions, let's take a look at the dynamics of Great Wall Motor in the past two years.
At the beginning of 202 1, great wall motor registered a brand-new company-if technology, and Tang Haifeng, then vice president of great wall motor co., ltd, served as the legal representative. If science and technology and the honeycomb energy, undeveloped energy and fairy bean intelligence in the Great Wall Motor system belong to an array, it is also a pawn for Great Wall Motor to open the road to new energy and intelligence.
In March of 20021year, Great Wall Motor released the "hydrogen energy strategy", aiming at "the first brand of global hydrogen energy automobile enterprises", which is ambitious. In fact, Great Wall Motor has invested a lot of effort in this field since it started to set foot in hydrogen energy technology on 20 16. At present, it has invested about 2 billion yuan and will invest 3 billion yuan in the next few years. The "Hydrogen Energy Strategy" conference is just a public appearance involving a "gamble" of 5 billion yuan.
A year and a half later, the development and application of hydrogen energy in China entered the fast lane of development.
By August 2022, there were 43 policies related to hydrogen energy industry, including 6 at the national level and 37 at the local level.
In September, Great Wall Holding Group Co., Ltd. formally signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement on hydrogen energy ecology with Shanghai Delong Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Li Ben New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and the three parties joined hands to build a hydrogen energy industry ecology to help achieve the goal of "double carbon". Specifically, the business involved in the tripartite agreement includes: hydrogen energy equipment, hydrogen preparation, hydrogen energy storage, hydrogen station construction, zero-carbon logistics and other aspects of cooperation. , build a "hydrogen energy zero-carbon transportation service platform" and jointly promote no less than 5,000 hydrogen energy equipment. ...
With billions of dollars of "gambling" and many powerful alliances, Great Wall Motor resolutely explored the new energy strategy and made hydrogen energy the top priority.
"Three tracks in parallel" strategy
Products are king. What achievements have been made with the huge investment in these two years?
On February 15, 2023, Great Wall Motor announced that the first batch of 20 "New Long March 1" hydrogen heavy trucks supported by Weishi Energy were delivered to Hegang Industrial Technology Service Co., Ltd. and officially put into commercial operation in Tangshan Port.
It is understood that the demonstration operation project of hydrogen energy heavy truck is jointly built by Visa Energy, Great Wall Motor and Hegang Industrial Technology Company. According to the overall planning of the project, 200 heavy trucks will be put into use, and the first batch of 20 trucks will be put into use, with a one-way transportation distance of about 100km, mainly serving the new energy transportation business of Hegang Group and its upstream and downstream customers. It can be predicted that the smooth delivery of 20 "New Long March 1" hydrogen energy heavy trucks is a firm step for Great Wall Motor to enter the field of new energy commercial vehicles.
Great Wall Motor's new energy strategy has officially entered a new stage of "taking business at the same time", which is the business direction announced by science and technology on February 22, 2023.
The proposal of "double carbon" policy and the acceleration of "digital" transformation of enterprises have driven the transportation industry to usher in a new round of reform. And new energy and intelligence are the key to this round of new changes. If technology emerges as the times require, we are committed to breaking commerce, improving the transportation efficiency of commercial vehicles and accelerating the pace of China's transportation industry towards the goal of "low carbon" or even "zero carbon" through innovative integrated services of "new energy smart commercial vehicles and intelligent transportation solutions".
In terms of vehicle, Great Wall Motor contributed forward-looking technology. If technology determines the development direction of multiple technical routes at the same time, the strategy of "three tracks in parallel" of hydrogen energy, pure electricity and hybrid power will eventually be realized. Mainly intelligent, including intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent service and so on. If technology will provide smart customized products and services in different scenarios in the future.
The Great Wall is marching into the field of new energy commercial vehicles faster and faster. In addition to the hydrogen energy demonstration project in cooperation with Hegang Industrial Technology Service Co., Ltd., there are still many demonstration projects that will start to operate one by one in 2023. If the Long March car with technology, hundreds of new energy heavy trucks will be delivered one after another.
The operation of a large number of demonstration projects not only means that Great Wall Motor is testing the water in the field of new energy commercial vehicles, but more importantly, it can deeply tap the real needs of users and optimize intelligent transportation solutions through the comparative analysis of industry sample data and application data.

Or jointly implementing the "three-track parallel" strategy of hydrogen energy, pure electricity and hybrid is the only way for Great Wall Motor to enter a brand-new "business simultaneously" stage. It remains to be seen whether Great Wall Motor, which is speeding on the track of new energy commercial vehicles, will be more and more brave in the future.
