Anchored on Quality, Guided by Users — GAC Group Enters the 30 Million Vehicle Era

July 16, GAC Group held a special gratitude event at the Trumpchi Factory to commemorate its milestone of welcoming the 30 millionth user. On site, leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, and Panyu District, Fu Bingfeng (Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers), GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya, General Manager Ge Xianqing, and other management members, as well as representatives from the supply chain, channels, domestic and overseas car owners, employees, and media, gathered together to witness this historic moment.

From the first vehicle rolling off the production line to the delivery of the 30 millionth vehicle today, GAC has walked a full 29 years. Behind this number lies the trust of millions of users for the brand, reflecting GAC's long-standing obsession with quality and safety, and the determination to move forward decisively in the wave of electrification and intelligence. More profoundly, it is also a vivid footnote to the Chinese automobile industry evolving from large to strong, and shifting from scale expansion to value leap.

Global Connection, Intelligent New Energy Array Presents Transformation Foundation

At the event, GAC showcased GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota bZ7, Qijing GT7, GAC Aion N60, and GAC Hyper S600 sequentially through global multi-base live connections, serving as the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles off the line. Subsequently, the right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV officially appeared as the 30 millionth vehicle. This collective appearance of the full-line new energy vehicles intuitively presents GAC's acceleration rhythm on the electrification and intelligence tracks.

In the delivery segment, Feng Xingya personally handed the key of the 30 millionth vehicle to Thai owner Tony Jaa. This moment not only froze a number but also became an emotional footnote for GAC's "two-way rush" with global users.

This trust spanning national borders also constitutes the confidence for GAC to move forward steadily during the industry's deep adjustment period. Data shows that in the first half of this year, GAC Group's cumulative sales reached 773,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%, among which new energy vehicle sales increased by 68.8%; overseas exports broke 120,000 units, a surge of 132% year-on-year, running its own rhythm amidst changes.

Quality Establishes the Foundation, Building Confidence for Millions of Users' Travel

"Quality is the bottom line that GAC will never retreat on," Feng Xingya emphasized in his speech. In GAC's growth logic, scale expansion has never been detached from the cornerstone of quality. For years, the group has adhered to the policy of "Quality First," integrating Honda's Total Quality Management, Toyota's Lean Production Methods, and the essence of Lingnan culture, gradually forming a distinctive quality management model centered on "Integrated Innovation." The ultimate goal of all efforts points to only one thing — building cars that let users drive with peace of mind, use with ease, and ride with comfort.

From R&D to manufacturing, GAC has established a rigorous quality control system covering the entire chain: before the launch of every new car, it must undergo extreme environment verification such as extreme cold, high temperature, plateau, high humidity, high corrosion, mountainous areas, sand and dust, completing "Two Winters and One Summer" actual road tests; relying on test sites and laboratories, covering 12 major items and over 1,500 test sub-items, forming a systematic quality verification closed loop. And GAC Aion Smart Eco Factory, as the "world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory," ensures the stability of mass production quality through digital intelligent manufacturing systems.

In terms of core technology safety, the Xingling Security Guardian System builds four-dimensional protection dimensions, with eight key systems adopting dual redundancy design, cumulatively protecting nearly 2 million users and successfully avoiding 6.28 million potential travel risks; Prism Battery installations reached 1.5 million units, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers. Service side also adds support, GAC was the first in the industry to launch the proprietary brand "Three Responsibility Guarantee" policy, actively providing bottom-line guarantees for user concerns related to batteries and intelligent driving assistance. It is these invisible safety lines of defense and visible service commitments that support the brand trust behind 30 million sales.

User First, Creating a Full-Cycle Warm Service System

"What users care about, we remember in our hearts; what users expect, we go all out for." Feng Xingya stated that the user-centric concept has long been integrated into GAC's development genes. The enterprise always follows the values of "People First, Integrity as the Way, Innovation as Priority," and the core of "People First" is being user-centric.

On one hand, GAC regularly holds "User All Microphone Open" activities, inviting users to the site for face-to-face communication, and establishes a full-process closed-loop management mechanism to ensure every suggestion is properly responded to, and common issues are optimized to all users immediately after going online. At the same time, the group has established a dedicated user insight department to promote full-chain transformation from problem discovery to solution, guaranteeing user demands are "answered for every item and implemented for every matter" at the organizational level.

On the other hand, the service network is also sinking fast. At the channel end, 1,000 county-level authorized stores are planned to be added this year; at the response end, launch "Super Butler" service, achieving 5-second response, 2-hour completion, allowing user demands to reach quick handling; at the energy replenishment end, build a "9 Vertical, 10 Horizontal" energy replenishment network, already covering 31 provinces and 213 cities in the country, realizing "1 kilometer straight line must have a station" in core urban areas, self-operated charging piles exceeding 27,000 units, of which supercharging piles exceed 20,000 units, providing efficient and convenient energy replenishment experience for new energy car owners.

The core of this gratitude event is precisely to express sincere thanks to the 30 million users for their long-term companionship. On site, Feng Xingya announced the launch of "GAC Group 30 Million Vehicles Off-Line · Renewal Gratitude Season" from today, GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC Aion, GAC Hyper, and Qijing Motors six brands will respectively launch special policies for new purchase, replacement, additional purchase and other scenarios to reward every trust.

Technology Grounds, Letting Frontier Innovation Serve Real Travel

Starting from 30 million vehicles as a new starting point, GAC is using innovation as an engine, accelerating towards the future of electrification and intelligence, letting frontier technology truly convert into user-perceivable peace of mind and convenience.

In the power field, Star Source Power created by the "National Excellent Engineer Team" covers three technology routes: Star Source Range Extender, Star Source Plug-in Hybrid, and Star Source Super Dual Engine, which will be successively equipped on more mass production models. Each power product must pass 100,000 hours bench and whole vehicle verification, equivalent mileage over 10 million kilometers, ensuring performance remains stable and reliable in all scenarios and regions.

In terms of three-electrics, GAC continues to tackle pain points such as ultra-fast charging and low-temperature range, has built a full solid-state battery pilot production line, launched extreme energy consumption technology, mass-produced Quark Electric Drive motor highest efficiency exceeds 99%, reaching industry leading level.

In intelligent connected vehicle field, Super Brain Xingling Architecture continues to iterate, connecting intelligence driving, cockpit, power, chassis, body, vehicle networking six systems, realizing "One Brain Management", comprehensive performance increased by 40%; Star River Smart Cabin realizes end-cloud fusion, letting vehicles truly become "thinking, understanding human heart" travel partners. At the same time, GAC will join hands with Huawei, CATL, Didi, Tencent, Alibaba and other top partners to build a more powerful AI smart ecosystem.

As of now, GAC Group cumulative R&D investment exceeds 62 billion yuan, global R&D team scale exceeds 6,800 people. Continuous technical deep plowing is pushing GAC products to evolve comprehensively from commuting tools to intelligent travel partners, mobile smart spaces, and green energy ecosystems.
