From the above sales results, GWM’s sales in July continued to pick up, and the monthly sales growth and cumulative sales growth were both higher than those in June. Among them, with the recovery of Haval H6 sales and the continued growth of Haval M6 sales, the overall rebound of the Haval brand is more obvious; the Ora and export situation also showed a better trend.
In terms of WEY brand, the overall sales volume is still slightly depressed, but there is also a certain recovery from the perspective of growth rate, and the year-on-year decline is narrowed. WEY has always assumed the upmarket role of GWM brand, the amount of sales can reflect the development of WEY to a certain extent. That is to say, GWM still needs to increase its investment in the WEY brand in the next period of time.
