announced at the Auto Guangzhou 2021 that its total global sales exceeded two

The pickup truck is the first vehicle type produced by GWM, and according to

pickup market. This year, GWM pickup sold 187,000 units in just three quarters,

and especially GWM POER has sold more than 10,000 units in 16 consecutive

months.

GWM pickup has received widely praises from many international auto media,

which is an important reason behind its increasing sales growth. In a

professional off-road test drive in Russia, the local professional auto media

Auto.ru commented that GWM pickup is superior to other pickup brands in driving

quality, excellent handling and off-road performance. Bakkie & Truck, an

authoritative South African auto magazine, rated GWM pickup as one of the "Top

3 Pickups in the World" along with other big pickup brands. This brand was also

assessed as "one of the most collectible models in the future" by Driven, a

senior auto media, in New Zealand.

In the global market, many models of GWM pickup have been recognized by

customers for their excellent performance, laying a solid foundation for its

sales of more than two million units. Russian customer Burtsev was very

satisfied with Wingle 7 for its superb load-carrying capacity and reliability.

"I'm gonna include Wingle 7 in my purchase list," he said. After launch in the

Middle East market, GWM POER was highly recognized by Bahraini champion racer

Salah for ride comfort and controllability. "GWM POER has the ability to

overcome special road conditions, and is a practical choice for family trips

and shopping," he said with a smile.

As of October 2021, GWM pickup has sold more than 20,000 units for 14

consecutive months. In November, this brand launched several new models at the

Auto Guangzhou 2021, including Jingang POER, the concept model super pickup and

Heidan, paving the way for the further improvement of global sales in the

future.

For the future expectation, Zhang Haobao, General Manager of GWM pickup, said,

"By 2025, GWM pickup is going to achieve annual sales of more than 500,000

units, and rank among the top three in global pickup sales."
