On May 25, Great Wall Motor issued a statement: On April 11, 2023, Great Wall Motor submitted the report materials to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the State Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and reported the problem that BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i used atmospheric fuel tanks, which was suspected that the evaporation pollutants of the whole vehicle were not up to standard.
Subsequently, BYD also made a positive response: Great Wall said that the test vehicles were purchased, kept and arranged for inspection by Great Wall, and China Automobile Center (Tianjin) carried out tests on related projects according to the requirements of Great Wall. Strictly speaking, the test vehicle does not meet the requirements of the national standard, that is, it should be sampled, kept and sent for inspection by a third party, and it is required to complete the 3000 km running-in test, while the mileage of the vehicle sent for inspection by the Great Wall is only 450-670 km.
As soon as the news came out, it quickly fermented in the network. Some netizens even related the incident that BYD transferred the "Wei" trademark to Great Wall Motor for free in 2021 to this report, and thought that Great Wall Motor belonged to "bite the hand that feeds you".
Some insiders told Zhidian that Great Wall Motor chose to attack BYD at this point in time, which was more of a "psychological war". As we all know, Great Wall Motor focused on the DHT-PHEV plug-in hybrid market this year, which is the advantage of BYD. The recently listed Haval Xiaolong and Haval Xiaolong MAX directly bid for BYD Song Pro DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, which shows that the competition between the two private car companies in the north and the south tends to be fierce, and the previous situation of "one family in the world" may be unsustainable.
