30 Millionth Vehicle Delivered to Thai Owner, GAC Group Achieves New Milestone

29 years, 30 million vehicles, this is a dual achievement of scale and trust for GAC Group.

On July 16, the GAC Group 30 Million User Gratitude Event was held at the GAC Trumpchi factory. As a right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV rolled off the production line and was handed to Thai owner Tony Jaa, GAC officially crossed the 30 million user milestone.

From the first vehicle rolling off the line to now, GAC took 29 years to go from 0 to 10 million vehicles. Moreover, GAC is accelerating forward, taking only 9 years to go from 10 million to 30 million vehicles, achieving "GAC Speed". At the event site, multiple global production bases were connected simultaneously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota BZ7, Qijing GT7, GAC AION N60, and GAC Hyper S600 rolled off the production line one after another as vehicles No. 29,999,995 to No. 29,999,999. The new energy matrix as a whole made a collective debut.

To repay 30 million users, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya announced the launch of the "Renewal Gratitude Season" on site. From today until August 31, GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, GAC Trumpchi, GAC AION, GAC Hyper, and Qijing Auto's six major brands will simultaneously launch new purchase, trade-in, and additional purchase triple benefits.

In the new purchase session, GAC Honda P7 launched a limited-time price; Accord and Breeze gasoline versions are eligible for "3 years, 80,000 yuan, 0 interest"; GAC Toyota, Trumpchi, AION, Hyper, and Qijing mainstream models offer purchase subsidies ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 yuan. Regarding trade-ins, GAC old owners trading in or upgrading to select Trumpchi, Hyper, and Qijing models receive additional subsidy boosts; families purchasing an additional Qijing GT7 can enjoy exclusive benefits, further lowering the upgrade threshold for users.

"Quality is the bottom line that GAC will never compromise." Feng Xingya stated in the summary. The trust of 30 million users is supported by quality control across the full chain from R&D to manufacturing. Before the vehicle goes on sale, it must undergo extreme environment tests of "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" and at least "Two Winters, One Summer" validation, covering 12 major items and over 1,500 verification sub-items.

Mag Battery has been installed in 1.5 million vehicles, accumulating over 160 billion kilometers of safe driving; The Xingling Safety Guard system serves nearly 2 million users, cumulatively preventing 6.28 million potential accidents. GAC also pioneered the "Three Responsibilities" policy in the industry, actively backing the three-electric systems for self-ignition, battery power decay beyond limits, and intelligent parking accidents, extending the quality commitment throughout the entire vehicle usage cycle.

In technology and service, GAC accelerates the transformation from engineer thinking to user thinking. Relying on the "Panyu Action", the independent brand has been fully renewed. The high-end brand Qijing jointly created with Huawei Qunkun's first model GT7 has gone on sale. Xingyuan Power covers range extension, plug-in hybrid, and super hybrid; Quark Electric Drive mass-produced motors have broken 99% maximum efficiency, with cumulative R&D investment exceeding 62 billion yuan.

Service network is also expanding downwards, planning to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores this year; The "9 Vertical, 10 Horizontal" energy replenishment network covers 213 cities nationwide, with over 27,000 self-operated charging piles; Online "Super Butler" promises 5-second response and 2-hour completion.

At the event, a right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV rolled onto the stage as the 30 millionth vehicle. GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya handed the keys to Thai owner Tony Jaa. The 30 million vehicle milestone, highlighted by a right-hand drive vehicle and one overseas user, is not a coincidence. Overseas markets are becoming a new engine for growth.

In the first half of this year, GAC Group sales reached 773,100 vehicles, up 2.35% year-on-year, of which new energy vehicle sales increased significantly by 68.8% year-on-year; Independent brand exports reached 121,500 vehicles, up 132% year-on-year, approaching the full year of last year. Taking the Thai market segment as an example, June sales increased by 207% month-on-month.

Currently, GAC has entered 110 countries and regions, built 746 sales outlets, 7 overseas factories, and 9 parts warehouses, moving from product export to a full value-chain system export. The scene of the right-hand drive M8 PHEV delivery is a microcosm of GAC's accelerated globalization.
