Editor’s Comment
Great Wall launched the ORA pure electric brand to occupy the EV market and used ORA as a rocker to increase EV export. ORA has been in contact with Thailand for many months to rank among the top three EV market sales. However, in 2022, the annual sales of Great Wall fell by more than 10%, and the ORA brand also experienced a significant decline. Great Wall’s product line has encountered competition from BYD in China.
With the decline in car sales in the Chinese market, as well as the intensification of the price war. Great Wall Group set a sales target of 1.6 million vehicles in 2023. Overall, 2023 is full of challenges for Great Wall.
nice cars .
Can anyone explain why these cars cost DOUBLE the price in Europe.
And please do not resort to chitchat ,razzamataz like transport or customs tax etc.
Please give an exact number of costs when a Ora Cat of Dolphin leaves a Chinese harbour and enters a European port .
Defray the costs of sales. repair and service facilities as they have to be established from scratch
