Great Wall Motor Establishes R&D Center in Tianjin, Focusing on Smart Cockpit, Autonomous Driving and Cloud Platforms

Great Wall Motor recently established Tianjin Great Wall Motor R&D Co., Ltd. in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), marking the official establishment of its Tianjin R&D center. The center is a key component of Great Wall Motor’s technology R&D system, covering areas such as intelligent cockpits, autonomous driving, and cloud platforms, and possesses full-stack automotive intelligence R&D capabilities—from product design to project management. Equipped with a comprehensive software R&D system, toolchain, stability laboratories, and a cloud testing platform, the center not only undertakes R&D tasks for Great Wall Motor’s global mass-production vehicle models but also focuses on software technology research and feature development related to intelligent cockpits and autonomous driving, including operating systems, software ecosystems, and AI technologies. In the cloud platform domain, the center primarily handles the development of backend systems for overseas connected vehicle services, providing technical support for connected car operations across multiple countries and regions. According to plans, the R&D center will employ approximately 250 to 300 personnel. Leveraging Tianjin’s advantages as a hub for high-end intelligent manufacturing clusters, it will advance Great Wall Motor’s “AI-defined vehicles” strategy and deepen the integration of intelligent technologies with product development. Currently, TEDA has attracted more than 10 R&D institutions focused on intelligent and connected vehicles and is accelerating the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Pan-Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industrial Park.
