According to foreign media reports, Great Wall is considering buying a Daimler plant in Brazil for overseas expansion. The two companies are in talks about a possible deal that could cost hundreds of millions of dollars but could terminate the acquisition process at any time, according to people familiar with the matter. If the news is true, it will be another new move in the overseas acquisition layout of Great Wall in the past two years. As of press time, Great Wall Motor has not responded to the matter.
Daimler's Brazilian factory is located in Ilasaimapolis, Sao Paulo, and is not very large. Daimler is Daimler's only passenger car factory in Brazil, which began production in March 2016. Daimler has invested 600 million reais and has an annual production capacity of 20,000 vehicles. In the factory, there is a large testing ground. This test site is currently Mercedes-Benz's largest truck and bus testing center in South America. With an area of about 1.3 million square meters, there are 16 different test roads when the first phase of construction is completed in 2018.
Great Wall has been very popular in overseas markets in recent years, and Great Wall Cannon has been named the best pick-up truck of the year in Australia, New Zealand, Chile and other places. As early as June 2019, Great Wall built a full-vehicle plant in Russia and then acquired two GM plants in India and Thailand. In June this year, the second overseas vehicle manufacturing plant of Great Wall, Luoyong of Thailand, was officially put into production.
Since 2019, the export volume of Great Wall cars has gradually increased. According to relevant data, the export volume of Great Wall cars reached 65175 in 2019, an increase of 38.68% over the same period last year. In 2020, the export volume of Great Wall cars reached 70110, an increase of 7.57% over the same period last year. In 2021, Great Wall sold 10079 units overseas in May, an increase of 557.5% over the same period last year. The cumulative export volume of Great Wall cars from January to May was 47970.
However, it is not easy for Great Wall to acquire Daimler's Brazilian plant, because in addition to the price factor, it also depends on the relationship between the two countries, the local social stability, and the labor, water and electricity needed for production. Roads and other infrastructure and local taxes and fees. It has yet to be officially announced whether Great Wall's acquisition of Daimler's Brazilian plant will be successful.
