MELAKA: GWM Malaysia has marked another key milestone with the first shipment of the CKD (completely knocked down) GWM Wey G9 to Thailand.
This shipment follows the successful roll out of the first locally assembled GWM Wey G9 in Malaysia.
The company said this represented the next strategic phase in GWM’s ambition to build a robust regional supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem within Asean.
"The commencement of CKD exports to Thailand highlights GWM’s confidence in Malaysia’s ability to support high-value automotive assembly, technology transfer and future export scalability," said GWM Malaysia.
"This initiative is expected to advance local manufacturing competitiveness, enhance vendor development, and elevate Malaysia’s position within GWM’s broader regional strategy."
The landmark shipment was witnessed by GWM Malaysia managing director Cui Anqi and chief operating officer Roslan Abdullah.
“The CKD shipment of the GWM Wey G9 to Thailand is a testament to the strong regional foundation we are building in Asean,” said Roslan.
“Malaysia’s role as a strategic assembly hub allows us to support neighbouring markets with advanced new energy products while deepening regional supply chain integration.”
Cui added, “The GWM Wey G9 represents the convergence of world-class engineering and local craftsmanship. This shipment to Thailand demonstrates our growing capability to support GWM’s regional expansion. It is the beginning of a long-term roadmap that reinforces Malaysia’s position in GWM’s new energy future.”
GWM Malaysia is preparing for the official launch of the GWM Wey G9 in early 2026.
