The China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum (2025) was held in Beijing from March 28 to March 30, themed “Consolidating Electrification, Advancing Intelligence, and Achieving High-Quality Development.”

During an interview at the forum, Wu Huixiao, CTO of Great Wall Motors, revealed that the company has signed a strategic agreement with Unitree Robotics . Under the agreement, Unitree will handle motion control and mechanical systems, while Great Wall Motors will focus on upper-layer application development. The collaboration will primarily target applications in factory automation and automotive scenarios, including the Great Wall Motors Xushui Production Base.

“We must consider the global market. While it may not necessarily focus on traditional fuel vehicles, our investments in engines and transmissions will cater to global users. Additionally, there are still domestic users of fuel vehicles whose needs we must address.”
