GWM premium MPV enters government fleet evaluation

GWM has entered a government fleet evaluation programme with its locally assembled WEY G9 Hi4 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in Malaysia. The move is part of the Chinese automaker's efforts to deepen its localisation in the country, as it builds up local assembly, distribution, and after-sales capabilities. The WEY G9 Hi4 was handed over to the Finance Ministry through its collaboration with fleet management company Spanco Sdn Bhd for a proof of concept (POC) evaluation programme.

The evaluation will allow assessors to gauge the locally assembled WEY G9 and its hybrid technology under real-world government fleet operating conditions. The WEY G9 Hi4 is equipped with GWM's Hi4 intelligent hybrid four-wheel-drive system, which combines an internal combustion engine with electric propulsion and all-wheel-drive capability.
