As they expand internationally, success will increasingly depend on the ability to combine local innovation with global execution. This is where FORVIA brings distinctive value. By combining Great Wall Motor’s growth ambitions with FORVIA’s technology leadership, industrial footprint and local-for-local execution model, we are creating a platform for long-term growth and innovation across the world’s key automotive markets.”

We are continuously advancing our ecosystem-driven globalization and comprehensively strengthening our global operations and localized service capabilities. Having a partner that both understands the Chinese market and brings global industrial footprint and technology depth is essential to Great Wall Motor’s global development. FORVIA has deep expertise across Seating, Clean Mobility, Electronics and Lighting, and its ability to combine global footprint with local operations aligns closely with Great Wall Motor’s development needs. We look forward to building on this agreement as a starting point to achieve deeper win-win cooperation in technology innovation, supply chain synergy and global market expansion.”
