Founded in 1984, this automaker is the largest in China. In 2022, GWM's global revenue was CNY137.3 billion and their overseas sales volume reached 173,200 units, a year-on-year increase of 21.28%. GWM is now one of the few Chinese auto brands to have sold a million units outside China.

At the end of 2021, GWM set up a subsidiary in Brazil in a bid to reach 4 million unit sales by 2025. At the end of 2022, GWM launched its Brazil brand comprised fully of new energy vehicle (NEV) models, marking GWM's entry in the Latin America market. GWM's sales volume ranked No. 1 among Chinese auto brands in the Chilean market from January to May 2023, and No.1 in the Brazilian NEV market from May to June 2023.

Intelligent connectivity is an important NEV feature. Unlike fuel vehicles, NEVs generate more than 500 types of data related to battery, motor, electric control conditions, and drivers. The petabytes of data are updated frequently, so handling massive concurrent connections and data is crucial and precisely what intelligent connectivity is good at. To ensure premium user experience and brand reputation while delivering 100,000 new vehicles each year, GWM needs stable, comprehensive, and hustle-free cloud services.

Huawei Cloud helped GWM migrate its telematics system to the cloud. Huawei Cloud containers scale 3,000 instances in just seconds in response to millions of peak-hour vehicles. NEV data is collected every 30s. Huawei Cloud Relational Database Service (RDS) and Object Storage Service (OBS) help with cold and hot data archival, reducing customer data storage costs by more than 60%. In addition to the sheer volume of data, telematics systems are also challenged by complex architecture, frequent inter-system data interactions, and a wide impact of single points of failure (SPOFs). To address these, Huawei Cloud Container Engine (CCE) decouples systems to avoid SPOFs and implements tracing and high-concurrency service instance registry and discovery. The solution also features microservice governance capabilities such as load balancing, rate limiting, service degradation, fault tolerance, and fault injection. All of these efforts ensure that the telematics system runs efficiently and smoothly after migration.

Leveraging 30 years of global telecom expertise, more than 20 years of Brazilian carrier partnerships, outstanding coverage in five Latin American countries, and 24/7 local and remote support, Huawei Cloud successfully helped GWM reduce costs, optimize architecture, and ensure stability of their new Brazilian system.
