OTOJATIM – Wuling is expanding its global business roadmap through GLOBAL 5, a strategy introduced at the China-ASEAN Exhibition (CAEXPO) in Nanning on September 17, 2026.
The strategy sets targets for Wuling to expand its global presence to 150 countries, work with 500 strategic partners, and achieve average annual sales growth of 50 percent over the next three years.
Wuling describes GLOBAL 5 as “A New Framework for China Automotive Brands Going Global.” The company says the framework represents a shift from traditional vehicle exports toward deeper localization, industrial collaboration and long-term global partnerships.
Five Dimensions Define Wuling's Global Strategy
GLOBAL 5 is built around five dimensions: Strength, Model, Support, Market and Goal.
Under Strength, Wuling highlights its comprehensive product portfolio, core technologies, intelligent manufacturing capabilities and full industry-chain ecosystem.
The company identifies I²MS (Intelligent Island Manufacturing System) and I²KD (Intelligent Island KD System) among its intelligent manufacturing capabilities.
The Model dimension outlines five cooperation formats for international markets: trade, distribution, production and sales, full industry-chain cooperation, and technology licensing.
Wuling says these models provide different options for working with overseas partners based on market conditions, policy environments and development requirements.
Moving Beyond Traditional Vehicle Exports
The Market dimension focuses on localized production and cooperation, regional market development and product adaptation.
Wuling says its international expansion is moving from product export to ecosystem development, with deeper integration into overseas markets and long-term partnerships.
The Support dimension covers global quality assurance, supply-chain cooperation, partner empowerment and localized after-sales support.
This framework places manufacturing, supply chains, sales, services and technology cooperation alongside vehicle exports as parts of Wuling's global business model.
150 Countries and 500 Strategic Partners
The Goal dimension contains Wuling's main numerical targets.
The company plans to expand its global presence across 150 countries and build cooperation with 500 strategic partners.
Wuling also targets 50 percent average annual sales growth, while seeking to strengthen its global new-energy vehicle brand influence and promote sustainable industry development.
The strategy carries the message “Go Global, Grow Together,” reflecting Wuling's stated intention to develop its international business together with global partners.
ASEAN Becomes Part of the Global Network
ASEAN occupies an important position in the strategy.
Wuling says it has established KD operations across Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar, creating a localized manufacturing network in the region.
Indonesia is described in the company's material as one of its most deeply localized overseas markets, with more than 60 percent local sourcing and over 100 local suppliers.
Wuling uses the principle “Global Platform, Local Adaptation” to describe how it adapts products and technologies to individual market requirements.
The company also cites its strategic cooperation with Malaysia's Tan Chong Group. The partnership covers localized battery CKD production, supply-chain development and new-energy vehicle industrial cooperation.
Wuling's International Footprint
Wuling says it currently has a presence across more than 120 countries and regions, serving more than 32 million users worldwide.
In ASEAN, the company says it has established more than 200 sales and service outlets.
They also states that overseas exports have recorded 10 consecutive years of growth, with cumulative exports reaching 1.6 million units/sets.
Through GLOBAL 5, Wuling is therefore setting out a global expansion model that combines vehicle exports with localized production, supply-chain development, technology cooperation and market adaptation.
The company's stated three-year targets are 150 countries, 500 strategic partners and 50 percent average annual sales growth.
