The plant has a license for an annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles, starting with the initial production of 20,000 units. This gradual expansion reflects GWM's commitment to scale up operations as demand increases.

The factory in Iracem Thaipolis reflects GWM's strategy to expand its global presence and support NEV growth in emerging markets. With a significant focus on local production and investment, this facility aims to contribute to Brazil's growing automotive sector.
