Chevrolet N300/Move

[edit]

The Chevrolet N300 is a rebadged Wuling Rongguang for sale in emerging markets such as Ecuador and others around the world except for Africa. The rebadged Wuling Rongguang Pickup Truck was a result of GM's joint venture with China's Wuling Motors. The partnership forms under the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture. The Chevrolet N300 was positioned above the Chevrolet N200, a rebadged Wuling Hongtu in a few other markets. According to GM International Operations Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Aftersales Mark Barnes, “The Chevrolet N300s are robust vehicles well suited for challenging off-road driving and the weather conditions faced by users in emerging markets.” [8]

The Chevrolet Move is a rebadged Wuling Rongguang assembled in 6 October City, Egypt by GM Egypt from kits supplied by SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) in China.[9] Egyptian assembly of the Chevrolet Move started in the third quarter of 2012. The Chevrolet Move is the first Chinese vehicle to be assembled by GM Egypt. It is also the first SGMW model to be assembled outside the home market of China. However, the Chevrolet Move will be the second SGMW vehicle to be sold by GM in Egypt. The first was the Chevrolet N200 passenger van which was sold in Egypt and other African countries beginning in 2009. The Chevrolet N200 is no longer sold in Egypt as of 2022.
