According to the Trademark Office of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), Great Wall Motors applied for trademark registration for the TANK marque in December 2020. Great Wall Motors is aiming to develop TANK as a standalone off-road vehicle marque according to Wei Jianjun, chairman of GWM during the China Automotive Innovation Conference (AII) on March 21, 2021.[1]

The TANK 300 was originally presented in July 2020 at the Chengdu Auto Show as the WEY Tank 300. It went on sale on the Chinese market on 17 December 2020. It is the first vehicle to be built on the platform called "Tank" by Great Wall.[2][3]

Great Wall announced the decision to turn TANK into a standalone brand during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021, with its name written in caps. The first car to be launched under the TANK brand will be the TANK 300, essentially the rebadged WEY Tank 300.[4]

Powertrain

The TANK 300 is powered by a two-liter turbo-charged petrol engine known from the other WEY models. It has an output of 167 kW (227 hp) and accelerates the off-road vehicle to 100 km/h (62 mph) in ten seconds. WEY specifies the maximum speed at 170 km/h (106 mph).[5] The vehicle has three differential locks.[2]
