GAC Accelerates Electrification and Intelligence, Welcomes Milestone Moment of 30 Million Users

On July 16, GAC Group's 30 million user appreciation event was held at the GAC Trumpchi factory. From the first complete vehicle coming off the assembly line to the delivery of the 30 millionth vehicle, GAC has undergone 29 years of development. Behind this number 30 million is GAC's long-term determination to maintain quality and safety, the determination to transform towards electrification and intelligence, and also a microcosm of China's automotive industry growing from large to strong and from scale expansion to value leap.

At the event venue, GAC's global multi-site production bases were connected synchronously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota Platinum 7, Enjun GT7, GAC AION N60, and GAC Hyper S600 came off the assembly line sequentially as the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles of GAC. Finally, the right-hand drive version of GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV made a dazzling debut on the on-site stage as the 30 millionth complete vehicle. The collective appearance of the new energy vehicles on the full line became an intuitive verification of GAC's full-speed promotion of electrification and intelligence transformation.

Subsequently, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya handed the key to the 30 millionth vehicle to Thai owner Mr. Tony Jaa. This moment not only froze a number but also the warm witness of GAC and global users "moving towards each other".

This trust spanning mountains and seas is GAC's confidence to break out in the industry transformation. In the first half of this year, GAC Group's sales volume reached 773,100 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%, among which the sales volume of new energy vehicles increased by 68.8% year-on-year; overseas exports broke through 120,000 vehicles, a significant year-on-year increase of 132%, running a steady rhythm in the industry's deep reshaping period.

"Quality is the bottom line GAC will never surrender." Feng Xingya stated in the summary address. In GAC's development, scale growth has always been based on quality. From R&D to manufacturing, GAC has established a strict quality control system for the whole chain: before the launch of each new car, it must undergo extreme environment tests of "five highs, one mountain, one dust" including high cold, high heat, high altitude, high humidity, high corrosion, mountainous areas, and dust; complete "two winters and one summer" on-site road tests; using test grounds and laboratories covering 12 major categories and over 1,500 verification sub-items of the whole vehicle to achieve systematic quality verification; GAC AION Intelligent Ecology Factory, as the "Global First New Energy Vehicle Lighthouse Factory", guarantees stable mass product quality with a digital intelligent manufacturing system.

In the core safety technology level, the Star Intelligence Security Protection System builds four protection dimensions. Eight key systems adopt dual redundancy design, having protected nearly 2 million users and avoided 6.28 million potential travel risks; Magazine Batteries cumulatively equipped 1.5 million vehicles, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers; the service side simultaneously increased guarantees, GAC launched the proprietary brand "Three Responsibilities" policy in the industry first, proactively providing a safety net for user concerns about batteries and intelligent driving assistance, dispelling user concerns about using cars. It is precisely these lines of safety defense and itemized service commitments that support the brand confidence behind GAC's 30 million sales.

 "What users care about, we keep in mind; what users expect, we do our best." Feng Xingya stated. This user-centric concept has long been deeply integrated into the development gene of GAC Group. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the corporate concept of "People First, Trust as the Way, Innovation First", among which the core meaning of "People First" is putting users first.

On the one hand, to face problems directly and listen to the user voice, GAC regularly holds User Open Mic events, inviting users to "home" for face-to-face communication. At the same time, establishing a full-process closed-loop management mechanism ensures that every suggestion can be properly handled, and common problems are optimized for all users first.

On the other hand, the service network is accelerating penetration simultaneously. In the channel end, service network sinking to counties is promoted, with plans to build 1,000 county-level authorized stores in the year; in the response end, "Super Butler" service was launched, achieving 5-second response and 2-hour request handling, ensuring user requests are handled directly and quickly. In the charging end, "9 Vertical and 10 Horizontal" charging network is being built, already covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide, achieving "a station every straight 1 kilometer" in core urban areas, with self-operated charging piles exceeding 27,000, among which supercharging piles exceed 20,000, providing convenient charging services for new energy car owners.

The core theme of this appreciation event is to pay sincere feedback and gratitude to the long-term support of 30 million users. At the event, Feng Xingya announced that effective immediately, GAC officially launches the "GAC Group 30 Millionth Vehicle Delivery • Renewed Gratitude Season", GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC AION, GAC Hyper and Enjun Automotive six passenger car brands will launch characteristic policies around new purchase, trade-in to add-on purchase respectively, to reward every companion and support.

With 30 million as a new starting point, GAC will move towards a new journey of electrification and intelligence with innovation driving, making frontier technology truly transform into user-perceivable peace of mind and convenience.

In the power field, Star Source Power developed by the "National Distinguished Engineers Team", covering Star Source Extended Range, Star Source Plug-in Hybrid and Star Source Super Dual Engine three technologies, will be equipped in more vehicle mass production. Every product must undergo 100,000 hours of bench and whole vehicle verification, with equivalent mileage exceeding 10 million kilometers, ensuring that under all scenarios and all regions, performance remains as steady as a rock.

In the "Three Electrics" field, GAC continues to tackle industry pain points such as battery super fast charging and low-temperature range, having built an all-solid-state battery pilot production line, launched extreme energy consumption technology, the mass-produced Quark Electric Drive Motor maximum efficiency broke through 99%, achieving the highest level in the industry.

In the intelligent connectivity field, the Super Brain Star Intelligence Architecture continues to evolve, connecting six systems of intelligent driving assistance, intelligent cockpit, power, chassis, body, and vehicle networking, achieving "one brain unified command", comprehensive performance improved by 40%; Star River Intelligent Cockpit achieves Edge-Cloud Integration, making the car become a real "thinking, understanding people" partner. GAC will also fight side by side with top partners such as Huawei, CATL, Didi, Tencent, and Alibaba to build a more powerful AI intelligent ecosystem.

As of now, GAC Group's cumulative R&D investment exceeds 62 billion yuan, with a global R&D team exceeding 6,800 people. Continuous technical investment is pushing GAC's products to evolve from tools for transportation to intelligent travel partners, mobile smart spaces, and green energy ecosystems.

Looking to the future, GAC will continue to use technological innovation as the core driver, use global layout as the development path, accelerate towards eco-tech GAC advancement, and move towards a smarter, greener, and broader future with more users.
