The initiative is designed to provide planning and execution services for events tailored to ultra-luxury vehicle customers.

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On August 20, Great Wall Holdings' Electronic Procurement System opened a global tender seeking suppliers to support Great Wall Motor ("GWM")'s Ultra-Luxury Car BG (business group) Brand User Engagement Project. The initiative is designed to provide planning and execution services for events tailored to ultra-luxury vehicle customers.

Tender requirements specify that bidders must field an independent creative design team, led by a director with prior experience serving world-class brands such as Apple, Coca-Cola, LVMH, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, or Mercedes-Benz. Suppliers must also operate a dedicated social media team with proven ability to cultivate key opinion consumers (KOCs) or key opinion leaders (KOLs) on platforms like Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Bilibili. In addition, applicants are required to own in-house production facilities for event materials.

The notice further stipulates that between 2019 and 2024, bidders must have demonstrable experience serving ultra-high-net-worth clients. At least one detailed case study must be submitted with the bid, showcasing luxury or ultra-luxury brand events, such as those for Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, or Bentley.

This is not the first time Great Wall Holdings has sought external partners for its ultra-luxury car BG. Earlier tenders included a "brand strategy project" for the same division, which also required bidders to demonstrate expertise with luxury marques and insights into the preferences of high-net-worth consumers.

GWM Chairman Wei Jianjun has previously disclosed that the company purchased several flagship luxury vehicles—including the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Phantom, as well as Ferrari sports cars—for testing, benchmarking, and detailed teardown analysis. The acquisitions, he said, highlight the company's commitment to advancing its high-end product development.

[Two Mandatory EV National Standards Take Effect Tomorrow: Batteries Must Not Catch Fire or Explode]

On July 1, two mandatory national standards—"Safety Requirements for Traction Batteries of Electric Vehicles" (GB 38031-2025) and "Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicles" (GB 18384-2025)—will officially come into force. This marks the first time in China's new energy vehicle sector that both battery‑specific and vehicle‑level core safety standards take effect on the same day. The new battery standard establishes "no fire, no explosion" as a mandatory requirement, replacing the previous technical threshold of "providing an alarm signal 5 minutes before fire or explosion." The updated standard also adds tests including bottom impact testing and safety testing after fast‑charging cycles. The vehicle standard requires the installation of an independent physical one‑button emergency power‑off device. The two standards will be implemented in phases: all newly applied vehicle models submitted after July 1 must fully comply with the new rules, while models already approved and on sale are granted a one‑year transition period until full compliance is required by July 2027. Industry players across the supply chain have already entered the final stages of certification review and production‑line retrofitting.
