1,600 Hongqi Vehicles Shipped to Iraq, FAW's Overseas Expansion Enters Batch-Order Stage

In early October, 1,600 Hongqi vehicles from China FAW were loaded and shipped to Iraq, covering models such as the HS3 and HS5. They were delivered as bulk orders, showing that FAW's Middle East dealership system is already capable of handling them. FAW's overseas expansion is shifting from single-vehicle trade to parallel bulk orders, local production and overseas channel building, with markets covering the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. In September, Hongqi entered the Italian market. At the same time, FAW released a new round of technology iteration roadmap, laying out frontier tracks such as solid-state batteries and automotive intelligent large models, and building four major safety capabilities. Overseas expansion and technological transformation are advancing in parallel.
