GWM has launched a number of new energy products, covering HEV, PHEV, and EV power forms, and achieved sales breakthroughs in the global market.

As a single brand, HAVAL has released various hybrid vehicles, among which the H6 PHEV and H6 HEV have outstanding sales performance.

The HAVAL H6 PHEV was officially launched in China and Thailand recently. At the launch in Thailand, the number of orders for this model reached 1,000 within 40 minutes.

The HAVAL H6 PHEV, equipped with a 1.5GDIT engine and an internationally leading 2-Speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), can automatically switch to the most suitable driving mode for a specific driving scenario, such as the electric or hybrid ones while maintaining a balance between power and fuel consumption.

After a test drive, Autohome, a well-known automotive website in China, commented, “The gear shift operation of HAVAL H6 PHEV is very smooth, and there is no feeling of pause or jerk at all. When the vehicle reaches the high-speed range, with the support of the turbocharged engine, there is still a powerful and sustainable acceleration.”

The hybrid edition of HAVAL H6 has been launched in various markets, such as Thailand, Australia, and South Africa, and has achieved excellent market performance.

ORA, a pure electric car brand of GWM, has also achieved excellent sales performance. According to the sales data released by the company, the number of ORA sold globally from January to September this year is 84,721. In Thailand, statistics from Autolife Thailand show that from January to August this year, ORA GOOD CAT (also known as the FUNKY CAT in some overseas markets) ranked first in local EV sales, with a high market share of 42.4%.

WEY COFFEE 01, another new energy vehicle of GWM, was included in the “List of Eligible Electric Vehicles” of the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) on October 10. The two versions of the vehicle are priced at 55,900 EUR and 59,900 EUR respectively.

GWM attaches importance to the network security management of vehicles. The ORA FUNKY CAT and WEY COFFEE 01 are in line with UN Regulation No. 155. These two vehicles will soon be available in Europe.

Currently, GWM’s new energy transformation is revving up. The company plans to launch more new energy models with different features in the global market and maintain momentum in sales growth.

LONDON, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, is expanding the DXC Dandelion Program which helps neurodivergent individuals with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurological conditions to build careers in the IT industry.

Following the success of the program in Australia and New Zealand, DXC is now launching the initiative across European and Asia Pacific countries. The United Kingdom will be first to launch, building on a 12-month pilot, with Bulgaria, Poland and the Philippines to follow.

Recruitment is now open across the new locations with employment opportunities in various fields including data analytics, software automation, user experience and cybersecurity.

The DXC Dandelion Program was launched in 2014 in Australia with a focus on creating employment pathways and careers for neurodivergent individuals within the IT industry. With no prior professional experience required to participate, DXC has made the program available to individuals of all abilities with the motivation to work in technology. In addition to offering employment, DXC provides participants with technical and vocational training plus professional support by specialised consultants.

Michael Fieldhouse, Social Impact Practice Leader at DXC Technology APAC, who is responsible for the DXC Dandelion Program, emphasizes that “neurodivergent individuals often have an extraordinary ability to think visually and to care for details. These are valuable skills, especially in areas of IT such as cybersecurity and data analytics. By creating an equitable and positive working environment, and by providing the right support framework, we are giving participants of DXC Dandelion the best chance to succeed.”

DXC Dandelion Program in Numbers:

• Employment opportunities created for more than 200 individuals to date
• 92% employment retention rate

• A pilot of the program began in UK in 2021, providing 15 neurodivergent individuals with employment opportunities
• Participants have the opportunity to work on customer projects. For example, the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), where 4 individuals are working on software testing and User Experience (UX) as part of DXC’s contract to support the Information Management Services 4 (IMS4) program.

Chris Halbard, President of DXC Technology, EMEA, added “As we continue to grow, it’s important that we invest in the communities where we do business and recognize the positive impact of diversity in the workplace. That’s why we are extending DXC Dandelion across Europe and worldwide, helping neurodivergent individuals unlock their unique talents and bring success to themselves, DXC and our customers.”

Cooperation with NGOs

DXC Technology cooperates with non-governmental organizations, foundations and educational institutions which help to expand the reach and impact of the DXC Dandelion Program and supports identifying and selecting participants who could benefit.

“Disparities in employment participation rates for neurodivergent individuals is a global issue that merits our concerted attention,” said Professor of Disability Studies, Academic Director, Susanne Bruyere, Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability, Cornell University ILR School. “Cornell University is pleased to partner with DXC Technology as it further moves the DXC Dandelion Program globally to make information about these targeted neurodiversity hiring initiatives more broadly available through a partnership for an online portal that shares related program information.”
