GWM Brazil Plant Officially Opens with President Lula in Attendance
Iracemápolis, São Paulo - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 August 2025 - In the early hours of August 16 (Beijing time), GWM's Brazil plant officially commenced operations, marked by a grand ceremony for the rollout of its first vehicle, the HAVAL H6 GT. The plant, located in Iracemápolis, São Paulo, was acquired from Daimler Group and has since been upgraded into an intelligent manufacturing base. As GWM's third full-process vehicle manufacturing center overseas, it carries the core mission of serving the Latin American market and acts as a key hub linking Europe, Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. This milestone not only advances GWM's globalization in Latin America but also sets an example of China's high-quality automotive expansion, showcasing innovative collaboration between the Chinese and Brazilian auto industries. At the opening ceremony, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, Chinese Ambassador Zhu Qingqiao, Brazil's Minister of Labor, and other dignitaries joined GWM President Mu Feng, GWM International President Parker Shi, GWM Brazil Region President Zhang Gengshen, and other GWM executives to witness this landmark moment in the company's globalization journey. President Lula personally signed the hood of the first HAVAL H6 GT, marking its final production step before entering the market. After the ceremony, he also posed for photos with factory workers. In his welcome address, GWM President Mu Feng stated: 'The Brazil plant is not only a strong commitment to the Brazilian market, but also the starting point for building the future together with our Latin American partners. In our global expansion, we adhere to the 'Four New Modernizations': Locally Built, Locally Operated, Globally Cultivated, Supply Chain Integrated. Following international quality standards, we will deliver highly reliable vehicles to the Latin American market.' He further announced that the plant's annual production capacity will gradually increase from 20,000 to 50,000 vehicles, creating over 1,000 direct jobs. Initial models include the HAVAL H9, POER P30, and HAVAL H6, with the H9 and POER P30 scheduled to launch in Brazil this September. Chinese Ambassador Zhu Qingqiao emphasized that since the establishment of diplomatic ties 51 years ago, China and Brazil's comprehensive strategic partnership has continued to deepen, with key areas of cooperation including renewable energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. He described the Brazil plant as a model of Sino-Brazilian industrial synergy, combining 'Chinese smart manufacturing + Brazilian localization.' He noted that GWM is contributing to economic development and quality job creation in São Paulo and Brazil, and expressed hope for further collaboration in clean energy and digital technology to provide a 'China-Brazil solution' for global climate governance. In his speech, President Lula stressed: 'The GWM Brazil plant is very important for Brazil's national industry. Its inauguration shows that Brazil has the capability to acquire advanced technology and produce vehicles that can compete with those from any country in the world. This means creating jobs, increasing income, and enhancing professional expertise for Brazilians. We hope GWM will make Brazil its production base in Latin America. The Brazilian government stands ready to support businesses and welcomes more Chinese companies to invest here.' Brazilian Vice President Alckmin, the Minister of Labor, and the Mayor of Iracemápolis also gave speeches, jointly opening a new chapter for GWM in Latin America. Guests at the ceremony praised GWM's rapid growth and contributions to Brazil's automotive market and expressed confidence in the company's ability to further drive innovation and transformation in the industry. During the event, the Great Place to Work Institute awarded GWM Brazil the 'Great Place To Work' (GPTW) honor. In addition, GWM announced a donation of 500,000 reais to local schools in Iracemápolis to help improve educational facilities. Located in Iracemápolis, São Paulo, the GWM Brazil plant covers a total area of 1.2 million square meters, with 94,000 square meters of built-up area. It houses welding workshops, robotic painting lines, assembly lines, energy and equipment facilities, and logistics supply systems. With an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles, the plant is expected to create 1,000 jobs by the end of this year. Initial models will include the HAVAL H9, POER P30, and the HAVAL H6 series. The plant also supports flexible production of multiple energy types, including hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and diesel. Since entering the Brazilian market in 2021, GWM has reached annual sales of 29,000 units within just three years, ranking 14th in the market. In the first half of this year, GWM sold over 15,700 vehicles in Brazil, up 19.8% year-on-year—17 percentage points above the industry average—demonstrating the company's confidence and determination to expand overseas and compete globally. Rooted in Brazil, expanding across Latin America, and reaching the world, GWM will continue to invest in Brazil, focusing on quality jobs, technological leadership, and R&D. The opening of the Brazil plant marks a new chapter in Chinese automotive globalization. With this plant, GWM will strengthen localized smart manufacturing, deepen its presence in Latin America, and bring its products and services to more global markets.

KUALA NERUS: The Deputy Army Chief, Lt Gen Datuk Tengku Muhammad Fauzi Tengku Ibrahim, has described the recent improvements to the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) scheme as timely. He stated that the expansion of performance-based incentive payments (BIPs) to lower ranks will motivate personnel to perform better.

Improvements to MAF scheme timely, says deputy army chief
KUALA NERUS: Various new initiatives announced to strengthen the civil service, including improving the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) scheme, are timely and well-received, says Deputy Army chief Lt Gen Datuk Tengku Muhammad Fauzi Tengku Ibrahim. He said the expansion of the performance-based incentive payments (BIPs) to other ranks, namely Sergeant or equivalent (Grade Z4) and Staff Sergeant or equivalent (Grade Z5) as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Friday (Aug 15), can motivate military personnel to continue striving more diligently. "This is something positive, as with this 'performance-based' system, we can use it as a benchmark to determine that everyone will strive harder to achieve the desired level," he said when met by reporters after the closing ceremony of the Skim Perkhidmatan Askar-Lasykar Angkatan Tetap ATM Gred Z1 (Tugas Khusus) here on Saturday (Aug 16). Tengku Muhammad Fauzi said that in addition, the extension of seven entry qualifications for various Skim Perkhidmatan Askar-Lasykar Angkatan Tetap ATM Gred Z1 (Tugas Khusus) is also timely, considering that the expertise required for military personnel is no longer solely dependent on physical strength. He said the military needs officers and personnel who were experts in various fields, including cyber technology. "Perhaps previously, they (the army) used a lot of physical strength. But nowadays, with technology and so on, various concepts are emerging. They need someone who is an expert in social media due to information warfare," he said. At Friday's Majlis Amanat Perdana Perkhidmatan Awam Ke-20 (Mappa XX) 2025, Anwar announced various new initiatives to strengthen the civil service, including improvements to the MAF scheme, introducing the Academic Recognition Award (HPA) initiative, and the allocation of funds to empower the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan). The Prime Minister added that the move was in line with the government's efforts to improve the efficiency, professionalism, and welfare of civil servants at all levels, thus ensuring the country's development agenda can be implemented more effectively.- Bernama
