BAODING, China and MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

In Melbourne on 12th November, Australasia's independent vehicle safety

authority, A-NCAP SAFETY, announced a 5 star A-NCAP safety rating for all GWM

Ute dual cab utilities built from 1 August 2021. The Ute has been assessed

against A-NCAP's current and most stringent 2020-2022 test criteria, providing

a high level of safety to occupants and other road users. The GWM Pickup (also

known as POER, P-Series, Cannon Ute) becomes the third vehicle in its segment

to achieve 5 stars under the latest protocols.

GWM pickup performed well in A-NCAP testing, achieving full points in side

impact and far-side impact tests (for both adult and child occupants), full

points in testing of active lane support system functionality, strong scores

for driver protection in frontal impact crashes, and a high level of protection

in rear impact whiplash crashes.

"GWM has shown its dedication and commitment to providing its customers with

the highest levels of safety by swiftly incorporating improvements to its

pickup models, and its global consumers are being supplied with a safer

vehicle," said one GWM spokesman.

"Australia A-NCAP has a very mature assessment system and is one of the most

stringent safety certification authorities in the world. In 2020, the A-NCAP

standard has been upgraded and revised again just after 2 years aligned with

ENCAP standards, and it is most stringent standard ever in history. We

appreciate the engineering efforts done by GWM R&D team and are happy to see

that with the concept of 'smart safety' in mind, GWM pickup particularly

performed well in terms of ADAS features test items such as SAS, AEB, LDW, LKA

have been added across the range," Charles Zhao, MD of the GWM Australia added.

As one of the three major pickup markets in the world, Australia is a cultural

mecca for lifestyle pickup lovers. Whether it is in the sparsely populated

outback in Australia, or the great ocean road stretching for thousands of

kilometers, off-road lovers can always find their favorite place here.

Recognition from Australasian consumers are a solid proof for the quality of

the GWM pickup.

Since it was launched in overseas market, GWM pickup has always put safety in

the first place, especially its outstanding performance in the smart safety. It

shows the unremitting efforts of GWM in automotive future direction and its

firm direction in safety improvement. In the future, GWM Ute will continue to

lead the development of pickup in the world with the industry's benchmark in

technological innovation.
