VOYAH is keenly aware of the diverse demands of global markets and the importance of localized development. It has crafted a product strategy that synergizes "Made in China, Made for the World" with vehicles designed for global appeal but optimized for regional needs. This year, VOYAH is set to release its fourth production model, which will be its first globally marketed vehicle.

Looking to the future, the company intends to set up a European operations center to oversee sales, service, and customer engagement, develop global channel strategies, and adapt its business models to local markets, integrating its overseas operations into local industry and value chains to provide efficient and consistent services to customers worldwide.
