GWM EV Convoy Tour Covered 3 Countries Using Ora Good Cat

The GWM EV Convoy Tour which consisted of 11 Ora Good Cats covered 15 cities, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, as well as lesser seen attractions on their way south.

The group spent 8 days traveling from Bangkok to Singapore, where GWM marked its official debut, and the launch of the Ora Good Cat.
