On Jan 22, the first batch of the VOYAH Courage global edition, a premium electric SUV from VOYAH, was officially shipped to Norway aboard a China-Europe freight train, marking a significant milestone in the brand's global expansion.
VOYAH Courage made its overseas debut at the Turin Auto Show in Italy in September 2024. During the event, it led a parade of vehicles through the streets of Turin, showcasing to local citizens and international media alike the strength of China's high-end new energy vehicle (NEV) sector.
In October 2024, its global edition was also unveiled at the Oslo Motor Show in Norway, and it went on sale simultaneously in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, marking the beginning of its overseas launch in multiple European countries.

On Dec 19, 2024, the global edition received the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA) certification. The process to receive the certification is extensive, with vehicles required to undergo tests measuring vehicle performance, safety, intelligent driving features, energy consumption, and range, among other features.
Since launching global expansion efforts in 2022, VOYAH has entered several European countries, including Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands, positioning itself as the only State-owned enterprise brand in China to occupy a spot in the European high-end NEV market.
