These machines are adapted to Russian operating conditions right from the factory
At the end of December, the Russian office of Haval told how Great Wall Motors cars — Haval, Tank, GWM (pick-ups) and Ora (electric vehicles) — prepared for Russian operating conditions. The set of measures is quite large.
«We continually collect and analyze customer feedback from a range of sources — first of all these are our dealership centers and hotline. We understand the Russian operating characteristics well and adapt all cars accordingly: we carry out additional anti-corrosion treatment of the body, introduce a number of additional options, for example, a “warm package”. This makes operating a car in the cold season more comfortable and safer», — said the executive director of LLC «Haveil Motor Rus» Andrey Akifev.
All Haval car bodies produced at the Russian plant undergo cataphoresis priming, and an anti-corrosion coating is applied to the bottom. Galvanized steel is used for the manufacture of bodies.
The adaptation program for Russia also includes pneumatic hood stops, other (different from Chinese) engine and suspension settings, and increased-capacity batteries. If we talk about the Ora 03 electric car, then as part of the adaptation work, the capacity of the traction battery was increased (it is larger than for cars for the EU market). The electric car also received heated front seats, steering wheel and windshield washer nozzles.
