GWM receives the coveted EU E1-MARK

GWM recently became the first Chinese auto brand to be awarded the EU E1-Mark, proving that its production capacity and quality management standards are perfectly aligned with the European Union’s requirements for automotive manufacturers in countries like the Middle East, South Africa and South America.

China’s Quality Certification Centre conducted a stringent two-day inspection of GWM’s production plant, after which Mr. Wu Yuping from the Centre awarded the brand the E1-Mark on 13 November 2008. Three certificates have to be obtained as part of this testing – the COP, VCA and KBA certificates that allow a manufacturer entry and distribution rights in EU countries.

GWM has always invested significantly in its production as well as research and development facilities, while its first class labs and workshops drive continuous and independent innovation and quality control. Which is why it had no difficulty passing the EU E1-Mark test with flying colours.

Says Henri Meistre, GWM SA Managing Director, “This accreditation goes to show that in these challenging financial times, GWM is making good on its promise to not only provide affordable quality vehicles to consumers globally, but also to increase the international standing of the brand.”
