GWM expansion into the Italian automotive market

Overview

Chinese automotive group GWM has initiated an expansion into the Italian market through commercial partnerships and product showcases.

In August 2026, GWM signed a sponsorship deal with Venezia FC to serve as the club’s Automotive and Back Sponsor for the 2026/2027 season. This partnership, which places the GWM logo on the first-team jersey, coincides with the company’s official entry into Italy.

Following this, GWM showcased seven vehicle models at the Torino Auto Show in September 2026. The lineup included the ORA 5, Jolion Max, P500 pickup, WEY G9, and the SOUO motorcycle. The company also introduced the Tank brand to Italy with the Tank 300 off-roader, which offers diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Additionally, the H7 SUV was highlighted, with dealership arrivals expected in October.
