Haval brand vehicles are mainly produced at the Xushui factory and Tianjin factory. The Xushui factory primarily manufactures Haval H8 and H9 models. The Tianjin factory is located in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin and currently produces models such as Haval H2, H6, F7, and F7x. The Xushui factory includes an automobile plant, stamping and welding logistics park, comprehensive performance test track, supporting facilities and parts industrial park, and dormitory area. Great Wall Haval's transmission factory is also located in Xushui, where the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission used by Great Wall is produced. However, strictly speaking, the Xushui transmission factory only manufactures the casing and some drive shafts, with other components supplied by other regions and finally assembled at the Xushui factory. The Tianjin factory's four major production workshops—stamping, welding, painting, and assembly—have a cumulative investment exceeding 1 billion yuan. Among them, the stamping workshop employs robotic arms and robots of international top-tier standards; the welding workshop's main welding line features the world's most advanced professional welding robots with a 100% automation rate, capable of simultaneously producing three different models with a model changeover time of just 10 seconds. Haval is a sub-brand of Great Wall Motors, established on March 29, 2013. The Haval brand, primarily focused on SUV models, operates in parallel with the Great Wall brand, using an independent logo and maintaining separate systems for product development, production, and services, specializing in SUV production and sales. The brand includes three series: H series, M series, and F series. The Haval H series includes Haval H2s, Haval H2, Haval H4, Haval H5, Haval H6, Haval H6 Coupe, Haval H7, Haval H9, and Haval H6 HEV; the Haval M series includes Haval M6; the Haval F series includes Haval F5 and Haval F7.
Great Wall Haval's hometown is in Baoding, Hebei, where its largest production base is located with the longest history of vehicle manufacturing. However, it has now expanded nationwide. For example, the Yongchuan factory in Chongqing specializes in pickup trucks and off-road vehicles, the Rizhao factory in Shandong focuses on models for overseas exports, and the bases in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu and Pinghu, Zhejiang are responsible for new energy vehicles. I just visited Yongchuan for tourism and saw those factory buildings—they are indeed impressive. Locals say this factory has driven employment across the entire industrial chain.
