History

edit

The company started its operation by building its first plant in Greenland International Industrial Center in Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, West Java province on August 20, 2015.[6] Built on a 600,000 m2 land including the supplier park, the plant was built for the production and manufacture of automobile in Indonesia and to set up an export base for Southeast Asia. The investment of the project is around US$700 million. The plant is expected to produce up to 150,000 vehicles in a year in its maximum capacity and is estimated to create 3,000 jobs for Indonesia.[7]

In August 2016, SGMW Motor Indonesia joined the 2016 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show and showcased the Wuling Hongguang S1 and Baojun 730.[8][9] On July 11, 2017, the plant officially started its operations for mass production and was inaugurated by the vice president of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla.[10] Their first product was a compact MPV named Confero, which is a rebadged Hongguang S1.[11] Initial pricing started at Rp 128 million, making it the cheapest MPV in its respective class.[12] At the end of 2017, Wuling Motors quickly climbed into the top-10 car brand in Indonesia by production and sales.[13]

On February 9, 2018, the company launched the Cortez, a rebadged Baojun 730.[14] On November 7, 2018, Wuling launched the Formo as a commercial variant of the Confero.[15] At the end of 2018, Wuling missed the targeted vehicle sales of 30,000 units, instead recorded 17,002 units for the wholesales figure and 15,162 units for the retail sales figure.[16]

On February 27, 2019, Wuling unveiled the Almaz, a rebadged Baojun 530 as their first SUV in Indonesia.[17] Wuling announced that it would export Almaz to Thailand, Brunei and Fiji as the Chevrolet Captiva.[18]

On August 10, 2022, SGMW Motor Indonesia introduced its first electric car in Indonesia, Wuling Air EV.[19] In April 2023, Indonesian buyers of the car will receive incentives of battery-based electric cars, in the form of VAT subsidies, from 11% to 1%.[20] Wuling Air EV is the best selling electric car in Indonesia for 2022, account for 77.98% of electric car sales in the country for 2022.[5]

In February 2023, Wuling announced Alvez, a rebadged Wuling Xingchi as their second SUV in Indonesia.[21]

On August 18, 2023, PT SGMW Motor Indonesia said that its production facilities will be shared with PT SAIC Motor Indonesia[22] to manufacture MG Motor (other brand owned by SAIC, the parent company of SGMW),[2][3] which commenced production of MG4 EV and MG ZS EV in February 2024.[23][24]

On November 16, 2023, Wuling announced Binguo EV as their second electric car to enter Indonesia.[25]

On February 15, 2024, Wuling announced the Cloud EV as their third electric to enter Indonesia, to complete their 'ABC Trio' electric car lineup.[26][27]
