July 16, the GAC Group "30 Million User Gratitude Activity" was held at the GAC Trumpchi factory, officially reaching the historic milestone of cumulative vehicle production and sales of 30 million units, becoming the fifth domestic automaker group to cross this scale.

At the event, multiple GAC global production bases were connected synchronously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota Platinum 7, Qijing GT7, GAC AION N60, and GAC Hyper S600 rolled off the line sequentially as the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles. Subsequently, the right-hand drive version of GAC Trumpchi M8 PHEV was officially delivered to Thai owner Tony Jaa as the 30,000,000th vehicle. This delivery arrangement visually reflects GAC's current strategic focus. Data shows that in the first half of 2026, GAC Group's cumulative sales were 773,100 units, an increase of 2.35% year-on-year; among them, new energy vehicle sales surged 68.8% year-on-year, overseas exports exceeded 120,000 units, skyrocketing 132% year-on-year. New energy and overseas markets are becoming the core engines driving GAC's growth.

In terms of quality control systems, GAC has built full-chain standards covering R&D and manufacturing. Before each new car hits the market, it must pass "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme environment tests and "Two Winters, One Summer" actual road tests, with validation projects covering 12 major items and over 1,500 sub-items. In terms of core safety technology, the GAC Star Ling Safety System adopts dual redundancy design for eight key systems, having avoided 6.28 million potential travel risks; the Magazine Battery has cumulatively been installed in 1.5 million vehicles, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers. In addition, GAC pioneered the launch of the self-owned brand "Three Responsibilities" policy, proactively underwriting issues related to batteries and intelligent driving assistance.

In terms of user operations and service networks, GAC is accelerating channel downscaling and charging infrastructure construction. Plans to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores this year, and launch the "Super Butler" service, promising 5-second response and 2-hour request resolution. Addressing new energy charging pain points, GAC has built a "9 Verticals, 10 Horizontals" charging network, covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide, with over 27,000 self-operated charging piles, ensuring a charging station every 1 kilometer in core urban areas.

In conjunction with the 30 million milestone, GAC announced the launch of the "Renewal Gratitude Season" campaign (July 16 to August 31), covering six major brands: GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC AION, GAC Hyper, and Qijing, launching special rights covering new purchase subsidies, trade-in bonuses, family increase purchases, and financial interest-free, etc.

Facing the next phase, GAC is accelerating the transition to an ecosystem technology enterprise. In terms of core technology reserves, GAC's cumulative R&D investment exceeds 62 billion yuan, with a global R&D team exceeding 6,800 people. In the power domain, Star Source Power covers three technical routes: range extension, plug-in hybrid, and super dual-engine; in the powertrain domain, the mass-produced Quark electric drive motor's maximum efficiency exceeds 99%, and the full solid-state battery pilot production line has been completed and put into production; in the intelligent connected domain, the Star Ling Architecture connects six major systems, and the Star River Smart Cabin achieves end-cloud integration. GAC will also deepen cooperation with industry leaders such as Huawei, CATL, and Tencent, jointly building an AI intelligent ecosystem.

In terms of global layout, GAC relies on the "One GAC 2.0" strategy, upgrading from single product exports to a full value-chain system going global. Currently, its international business covers 110 countries and regions globally, having built over 746 sales service outlets and 7 overseas production factories. According to the plan, by 2030, GAC's overseas business will cover 120 countries and regions, build over 2,000 outlets, and achieve a global goal of 1 million annual sales.
