On September 6, IAA Mobility 2021 officially opened in Munich. GWM unveiled its high-end SUV brand WEY and new energy vehicle brand ORA.

In response to the theme The Mobile Road to Carbon Neutrality of this auto show, GWM exhibited its new energy models such as WEY Coffee 01 PHEV and ORA 01CAT.
Coffee 01 PHEV redefines European smart cars with its unique long range, smart driving and smart cockpit;
ORA 01CAT is a perfect combination of classic retro aesthetics and futuristic technology, which will bring unprecedented product experience to European users.
Together, the two models will help GWM explore the new energy vehicle market in Europe.
In fact, electrification, carbon neutrality, and sustainability have become the main trends of the development of the global auto market in the future, and GWM has already seen the opportunities and made arrangements in advance. Not long ago, the first cobalt-free battery developed by SVOLT, a company affiliated to GWM, has been mass-produced and loaded into vehicles, breaking the dependence of automotive power batteries on cobalt and solving the worldwide problem that cobalt resources are not renewable. An A+ pure electric SUV under the ORA brand is first equipped with the cobalt-free battery and achieve its mass production. This SUV model has a range of more than 600 km under normal operating conditions, while maintaining the advantage of strong performance, and can achieve 100 km of acceleration in 5 seconds. Moreover, its waterproof performance reaches IP67 and has high energy retention and fast heating at low temperature.

The Ora Good Cat with a 49 kWh LFP battery starts from around $13,000 in China and has a range of 401 km (NEDC). So, in early 2022 people in Europe will have access to a very good affordable EV that will probably be priced around 20,000 EUROS (official pricing to be announced closer to the launch).
