Chinese brand Haval will be stopping the sale of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines from 2030, according to parent firm Great Wall. This comes after fellow Chinese automaker BYD has stopped its own production of purely internal combustion-engined vehicles in the first half of this year as it focuses on electrification.
In addition to discontinuing the sale of pure ICE vehicles by 2030, new energy vehicles will make up 80% of Haval sales by 2025, Haval brand manager Li Xiaorui announced at the brand’s new energy strategy conference in Beijing.
As for the group’s broader plans, Great Wall Motor is acclerating its transition to becoming a “global technology mobility company,” the company was quoted as saying by Gasgoo. Great Wall Motor has invested 10 billion yuan (RM6.5 billion) in research and development in 2021, and its cumulative investment will total 100 billion yuan (RM65 billion) by 2025, according to the report.
Great Wall Motors returned to the Malaysian market last month, and the Haval H6 is expected in our market later this year. The SUV is sold in Thailand as a plug-in hybrid, featuring a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine, and boasts of a total system output of 326 hp and 530 Nm of torque.
Also earmarked for the Malaysian market is the Ora Good Cat EV as well as the Haval Jolion, which are part of a roster of products due to debut in Malaysia from the fourth quarter of this year.
A right-hand-drive example of the Ora Good Cat EV was sighted in Vision Motorsports in May this year, along with a number of units at the Go Auto headquarters in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. As for the Haval Jolion, a C-segment SUV is likely to arrive on our shores in internal combustion form to begin with, and this could get a 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Meanwhile P2 will continue selling ICE only cars til kingdom come.
No meaning to buy low spec EV like Iriz Exora EV.
Proton discontinued them.
P2 should at least try, since the tech is not belong to them they only need to celup it from Toyota big brother.
Just bought up some Haval stocks. So murah now but it looks not active for now. Sapu first think later
Bro you think CCP will let them get too big for their good versus their local competition? Just look at Jack Ma and Alibaba when they got too big and too rich.
It’s already Xmas 2022, no H6 in the market yet.
Same thing with Chery. A lot of teasing all throughout 2022 (they even did a media launch for the new Tiggo & Omoda range), but none available for sale until dunno when.
