HONGQI, the emerging global luxury automotive brand, has been selected as the official vehicle provider for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). Held in Beijing from September 4 to 6, the summit aims to strengthen diplomatic, economic, and cultural relations between China and African nations. HONGQI’s involvement in the event aligns with the brand’s commitment to supporting global collaboration and sustainable development.
During the vehicle handover ceremony in Beijing, FAW HONGQI announced that it would provide 650 luxury vehicles for the summit. These included 460 HONGQI H9 sedans, 100 HONGQI HQ9 MPVs, and 90 HONGQI GUOYUE buses. Among them, 60 served as lead escort cars, while the remaining vehicles ensured dignitaries experienced luxury and comfort throughout the event. Renowned for their cutting-edge technology and advanced safety features, HONGQI’s flagship models provided a world-class travel experience for attendees.
This is not HONGQI’s first time playing a key role in the FOCAC summit. In 2018, the brand successfully provided 270 HONGQI H7 vehicles, earning praise for its excellent service. Now, six years later, HONGQI once again leads the way, symbolising the growth of China’s automotive industry and its capacity to meet high international standards.
Each vehicle in the fleet is equipped with advanced safety features, including a high-strength 9H4M cage-style body, run-flat tires, and a dual detection system combining cameras and millimetre-wave radar for enhanced precision. The cars also feature sophisticated driver assistance systems, ensuring a five-star safety experience for all participants.
The HONGQI H9 luxury sedan, renowned for its handcrafted leather seats, offered rear-seat passengers a “zero-gravity” relaxation feature. Meanwhile, the HONGQI HQ9 MPV boasts seats that recline to a 173-degree angle, along with a one-touch business meeting function. The GUOYUE bus took luxury further, incorporating over 40 noise-cancelling technologies, creating a serene and comfortable journey.
HONGQI’s involvement in the 2024 FOCAC Summit reaffirms its commitment to providing exceptional service while supporting global diplomacy and sustainability efforts. This partnership highlights the brand’s growing stature in the global luxury automotive market and its ongoing dedication to fostering international cooperation.
