Great Wall Motor implemented Dassault Systemes ENOVIA Materials Compliance Central to manage material declarations, track regulatory requirements, and generate reports across thousands of parts and suppliers. The solution supported RRR and WVTA certification by integrating compliance data with the product bill of materials. CATIA was deployed for virtual design, digital mock-up, and assembly simulation, reducing design errors and development resources. The company became the first Chinese automaker to receive EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval for four models in 2009.

Key takeaways

ENOVIA MCC enabled material compliance tracking from design through end-of-life for EU regulations including RRR and ELV requirements.

Supplier material declaration workflows were centralized, allowing engineers to request, monitor, and validate data without duplicating effort.

CATIA virtual design and digital mock-up reduced design team size by more than 50 percent and shortened time to market.

GWM achieved EU WVTA certification for four models in 2009, becoming the first Chinese automaker to receive the accreditation.

Certified models accounted for over 30 percent of overseas sales and supported GWM's expansion into more than 120 countries.
