Where are Great Wall's engines produced?

Great Wall's engines are produced at the Baoding factory. An engine is a machine that can convert one form of energy into another. The brands under Great Wall include: Haval, Great Wall, WEY, Ora, Coolray, etc. Taking the 2021 Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive MAX as an example, it is a compact 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4653mm, width 1886mm, height 1730mm, and a wheelbase of 2738mm. The 2021 Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive MAX is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 325 N·m. It adopts a front-wheel drive system, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
I just visited the Baoding Xushui factory last month, where the engine production line is fully automated with robotic arms. Great Wall Motors now mainly produces its own 1.5T and 2.0T engines, especially the newly launched 4N20 series in the fourth phase of the Xushui factory, which achieves a thermal efficiency of 38%. Even Toyota engineers have come for exchanges. For example, the GW4B15 engine used in the third-generation Haval H6 is produced here, with a honeycomb-shaped brand logo on the cast aluminum cylinder block. In fact, the Yongchuan factory also produces diesel engines, such as the 2.4T engine installed in the Great Wall Pao last year, which was made in Chongqing.
