Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motor’s Haval brand will stop selling internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030, becoming the latest local brand to do so

Haval aims to have 80% of the brand’s sales be new energy vehicles by 2025 and to officially stop selling ICE vehicles by 2030, the brand’s general manager, Li Xiaorui, said at an event on Monday. In China, NEVs refer to pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles.

Earlier, BYD Company had stopped production and sales of fuel vehicles in March this year to focus on its pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle business.

The Haval H6 was the best-selling SUV in China for the past several years, but it has now been dethroned by BYD’s Song. From January to July, the Haval H6 sold 147,870 units, ranking second among all SUVs sold in China, according to data released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
