Great Wall Motor’s Tank brand suspends production as heatwave sears China

Quick Summary:

Great Wall Motor, mainland China’s largest SUV maker, will suspend production of its "Tank” branded vehicles for a week at the end of this month, citing extreme weather as the country’s northwest and eastern regions grapple with a brutal heatwave.

In June, Great Wall delivered 26,059 Tank-badged vehicles, an all-time high.

Among the top players, only BYD, the world’s bestselling EV maker, and Li Auto, a direct rival to Tesla on the mainland, have reported profits so far this year.
