GWM Malaysia begins exporting CKD Wey G9 to Thailand
GWM Malaysia has achieved another significant milestone today with the delivery of the first Completely Knocked Down (CKD) model of the GWM WEY G9 to Thailand.
This initiative demonstrates GWM’s commitment to closer collaboration at the regional level, strengthening the capabilities of New Energy Vehicles (NEV), and developing a cross-border industry.
The delivery follows the successful local production of the WEY G9 in Malaysia and marks the next phase in GWM’s plan to establish a robust supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem in ASEAN.
The CKD export to Thailand also underscores GWM’s confidence in Malaysia’s ability to undertake high-value automotive assembly, technology transfer, and its future export potential.
This effort is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the local industry, develop vendors, and strengthen Malaysia’s position in GWM’s regional strategy.
According to Mr. Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Malaysia, this CKD delivery reflects the solid foundation GWM is building in ASEAN.
“Malaysia is now playing a role as a strategic assembly hub supporting neighboring markets with more advanced new energy products while strengthening regional supply chain integration.”
Mr. Cui Anqi, Managing Director of GWM Malaysia, added, “The WEY G9 combines world-class engineering with local craftsmanship. The delivery to Thailand showcases Malaysia’s capacity to support GWM’s expansion in the region and marks the beginning of GWM’s long-term plan in new energy technology.”
The GWM Wey G9 is set to be officially launched in Malaysia this month.
