GWM Technology

GWM's Dedicated Hybrid Technology, known as DHT, combines a high-efficiency 1.5T dedicated hybrid engine, an intelligent drive module and high-power battery, balancing efficiency and performance.

GWM DHT —— Smart efficiency. Steady performance. Built to last.

Smart Efficiency

1.5T dedicated hybrid engine with advanced combustion design improves fuel utilization and reduces consumption.
The P3 direct-drive motor with millisecond-level decoupling minimises energy loss and lowers overall fuel use.
The system intelligently adapts to different driving scenarios, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 5.1 L/100 km and a WLTC combined range of over 1,000 km.

Steady Performance

The hybrid system delivers maximum output 164 kW and 476 Nm, supported by an integrated electric control system with intelligent voltage boost to enhance efficiency and peak output.
Engine and dual motors work together during acceleration, increasing total torque to 476 Nm and achieving 0–100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
Dual-motor torque compensation ensures seamless gear transitions and smooth power delivery across driving modes.

Safety & Durability

A low-friction engine design enhances long-term durability and reliability.
The battery is protected by a six-layer underbody safety structure and sealed waterproof design, remaining watertight after 48 hours of submersion. Intelligent monitoring algorithms provide up to 24 hours of early safety warning.
High-stability lithium chemistry, combined with intelligent shallow charge–discharge management, Long-term use results in an extremely low attenuation rate, truly achieving the same lifespan for both the vehicle and the battery.

Research & Development

GWM is committed to long-term investment in R&D, supported by a global network spanning China, Europe, Asia and North America.

GWM’s long-term R&D commitment is supported by a team of over 23,000 engineers and researchers. To date, the company has filed nearly 50,000 patents, with close to 30,000 granted, reflecting strong and consistent innovation capability.

The global R&D system enables GWM to develop vehicles and technologies that meet diverse regulatory, environmental and user requirements across markets.

Integrated R&D Facilities

At GWM’s headquarters, the R&D Center spans 250,000 square metres and integrates vehicle engineering, prototyping, testing, design and data systems, providing comprehensive support across the entire vehicle development process.

Its testing facilities form a nationally leading laboratory platform, supporting validation, optimisation and certification for global markets.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Lab

GWM operates advanced EMC testing facilities capable of meeting EU, China and North American standards, with test reports recognised in over 70 countries.
Real-world electromagnetic conditions identified during road testing— including in Europe—can be accurately reproduced in the laboratory, enabling rapid diagnosis and targeted optimisation.

NVH Semi-Anechoic Chamber

Dedicated semi-anechoic chambers support comprehensive NVH testing for both conventional and new energy vehicles.
These facilities enable evaluation and refinement of noise, vibration and acoustic comfort, contributing to quieter cabins and improved ride quality across development stages.

Environmental Wind Tunnel Lab

GWM operates an advanced environmental wind tunnel designed to international standards, capable of simulating temperatures from –40°C to +60°C, wind speeds up to 250 km/h, full-spectrum solar radiation, and controlled rain and snow conditions.
European driving environments—from Mediterranean summer heat to Nordic winter conditions—can be accurately reproduced, supporting climate-specific validation independent of season.

Multi-Angle Crash Testing Lab

GWM’s large-scale multi-angle crash testing facility supports complex accident scenario simulation, including integrated active and passive safety testing.
The facility enables advanced validation of emergency braking and collision sequences, supporting the development of next-generation safety systems.

GWM Smart Factory

GWM operates a global network of smart manufacturing facilities designed for quality, efficiency and consistency.

The Technology Of The Future, Here And Now

Towards a greener future in mobility.

In 2022, Great Wall Motor reaffirmed its corporate culture with the Rock the World with Our GIFT (Smart Green Technology for the Future) initiative, centered on the core values of Anti-Corruption, Honesty, Innovation, Change, Sharing, and the entrepreneurial spirit of Improving a Little Every Day. This initiative aims to further focus on user-oriented development and fully implement the globalization strategy. The goal is to propel Great Wall Motor toward becoming a global smart technology company.

The Cleanest Energy, Hydrogen.

Driven by the transformation strategy towards a global smart technology.

With a strong foundation in R&D and capabilities in industrial system construction, we have adopted a joint development model for commercial and passenger vehicles and pursue a global strategy to maintain our leadership in China while expanding internationally. In the field of hydrogen energy, we have independently developed key system components, making us the only domestic automotive company with comprehensive technology across the entire industry.

How Does The New Energy Work?

GWM has created an industry-leading charging system.

We developed a comprehensive energy system that combines solar power, energy storage, and hydrogen technology. With a world record in innovation, we support the transition to green energy and carbon-neutral goals.
