BAODING, China, Feb. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Recently, GWM participated in the Thailand International Motor Expo with its

technical achievements on the L.E.M.O.N. Platform to bring a new experience to

users around the world.

L.E.M.O.N. is a technology platform independently developed by GWM from a

global perspective, featuring flexibility, high performance, high safety, and

lightweight. All these features bring both advantages of high power performance

and low energy consumption to platform-based vehicles.

The platform provides four powertrain solutions for users to choose from,

including Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Hybrid, Pure Electric and Hydrogen

Fuel Cell. In particular, its gasoline-electric hybrid is available in both DHT

and P2/P2+P4 architectures. The DHT architecture is more suitable for urban

commuting because of longer endurance mileage and low energy consumption. For

example, the HAVAL H6 HEV with this architecture has a fuel-saving rate of

48-50%, with a pure electric endurance mileage of 200 km.

Lightweight is one of the most important features of the L.E.M.O.N. Platform.

In addition to designing an all-aluminum body to reduce vehicle weight, it also

adopts the hot-stamped one-piece door ring solution to further cut the weight.

HAVAL DARGO, recently launched overseas, has applied Tailor Rolled Blank (TRB)

created by this platform. More significantly, this vehicle uses high-strength

steel accounting for more than 75% and the highest strength of hot-stamped

steel exceeds 1900MPa, which can better meet users' demands for off-road fun.

In terms of safety, L.E.M.O.N. Platform also has high requirements on this

performance. It has verified 18 typical use scenarios of global users, such as

German users driving on a highway without speed limit and Middle Eastern users

driving in an extremely hot environment. It also strictly complies with the

NCAP five-star safety rating and IIHS's highest rating in North America during

each verification process. For instance, HAVAL JOLION is equipped with the high

safety performance of this platform. The 360° panoramic image system is used to

protect drivers' safety that can provide a high-definition display without

blind areas to users, helping them observe surrounding road conditions and

ensure all-around driving safety.

Currently, the models built on the L.E.M.O.N. Platform, such as the 3rd Gen

HAVAL H6, HAVAL DARGO, HAVAL JOLION and ORA GOODCAT, have been launched

globally.

As one of the leading platforms in the automotive industry, the L.E.M.O.N.

Platform empowers the products and gradually becomes an accelerator for GWM's

global development. Rotating President of GWM Mu Feng said that the L.E.M.O.N.

Platform is GWM's core competitiveness in the next decade, and also the solid

support for GWM to cope with global competition.
