Wey is produced at the Xushui Branch of Great Wall Motors Co., Ltd. Its models include: vv5, vv6, vv7, Tank 300, p8, etc. Taking the 2021 Wey vv7 Technology Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4760mm, width 1931mm, height 1655mm, wheelbase 2950mm, and fuel tank capacity 65l. The 2021 Wey vv7 Technology Edition is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 167kw, maximum power speed of 5500rpm, maximum torque of 387nm, and maximum torque speed range of 1800 to 3600rpm.
I just researched this brand a few days ago. WEY is a Chinese luxury SUV brand created by Great Wall Motors, with its production base located in Baoding, Hebei. The Xushui Smart Factory in Baoding is responsible for producing the VV series models, where the automation level is exceptionally high, with robots handling all body welding in the workshop. Later, with model updates, popular models like the Mocha and Blue Mountain were transferred to the more advanced Xushui Phase II Factory. Recently, WEY's MPV series, the Gaoshan, started production at the new base in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu. This base is Great Wall's most intelligent flexible production line, capable of mixed production of multiple models. To be honest, WEY's production standards are stricter than many joint-venture brands. The quality inspection line at the Baoding factory can detect gaps as small as 0.1 millimeters.
WEY brand vehicles are all manufactured in Great Wall Motors' factories, with the main production base located in Hebei. The Baoding Xushui plant is the primary facility, where over 600 robots participate in the manufacturing process. The stamping workshop utilizes German Schuler lines, with precision controlled to 0.01 millimeters. The newly opened Zhangjiagang base last year is even more impressive, employing 5G technology to achieve full-process traceability of entire vehicles, with torque data for every screw on the assembly line being archived. The Tianjin factory also handles part of the production capacity, especially for hybrid models. In fact, the Tank 300, which shares the same platform, is also produced in these factories, as the production lines can flexibly switch between different vehicle models. Currently, WEY vehicles exported to Russia are assembled at the Tula plant, serving as a representative example of Chinese premium vehicles going global.
As a domestic luxury brand, Wey's vehicles are all produced domestically. Its core manufacturing base is located in Xushui District, Baoding City, Hebei Province, covering an area of over 4,500 acres with fully enclosed temperature-controlled workshops. Great Wall has allocated its best resources to Wey. For instance, the Blue Mountain DHT-PHEV is produced in a digital workshop built with an investment of 1 billion yuan, featuring a 97% automation rate in the welding workshop and using DuPont water-based paint for coating. In fact, Wey's factory adheres to a 'zero tolerance' standard, with each vehicle undergoing 143 comprehensive inspections. The water pressure used in rain tests is twice as strong as the national standard. After watching videos of their workshops, I noticed workers even use decibel meters to check the sound of door closures, which is more meticulous than I expected.
