China’s Great Wall Motor reportedly partners with Faraday Future for US expansion

Great Wall Motor (GWM) has granted Faraday Future (FF) a license that will allow the Los Angeles-based electric vehicle maker to use imported auto parts in the assembly of its FX Super One, which shares a look with GWM’s Gaoshan multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). That’s according to a report by China’s Yiou Auto on Thursday saying that GWM is among the four Chinese automakers that have collaborated with FF based on the “Global Auto Industry Bridge Strategy” proposed by FF’s founder and co-CEO Jia YT. FF has been conducting transit trade for auto parts through Hong Kong and is in discussions with the government of Macao, another Special Administrative Region of China, to make it a transshipment hub, Jia told this year’s BEYOND Expo tech event in May. FF said it already received more than 10,000 reservations for the luxurious full-size all-electric van, which features an interactive LED grille called F.A.C.E. to display images and videos.
