On May 28, SAIC Motor completed the global 100 millionth new vehicle delivery ceremony, becoming the first automotive manufacturer in China to break 100 million in sales. From the establishment of the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company in 1955 to 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan off the production line. Having gone through more than 71 years of development, SAIC Motor now possesses more than 10 whole vehicle brands, with products covering categories from sedans, SUVs, MPVs, to commercial vehicles.

Today, SAIC's products and services are distributed in over 170 countries and regions, with cumulative overseas sales breaking 7 million units.

At the delivery ceremony site, the 100 millionth vehicle model delivered was the flagship SUV — IM Motors LS9 Hyper — which was delivered to the 100 millionth user, Momenta CEO Cao Xudong.

The new car is equipped with full line-by-wire four-wheel steering, a 520-line LiDAR + NVIDIA Thor chip, providing L3 level hardware capabilities. In addition, the new car is built with a whole-domain 800V architecture, adopts an extended-range electric system, and can achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3 seconds.

At the delivery ceremony site, all SAIC brands and the entire product matrix coordinated their efforts. Independent brands went all out: Shangjie Z7, Huajing S, Roewe M7, MG4 Semi-Solid State Battery Edition, Wuling Starlight 560, Maxus eDeliver5, Hongyan Heavy Truck, Yuejin Dana T1, Sunwin Pure Electric Bus, Iveco Juxing EV, etc., were delivered successively, covering multiple scenarios such as personal travel, family life, commercial operations, and logistics transportation.

Joint venture brands concentrated on displaying "Joint Venture 2.0" achievements: Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X will debut globally equipped with Momenta R7 Reinforcement Learning World Model, delivering over 7,000 units within one month of launch.

Audi E7X plans to become the first Audi model globally to implement L3 level autonomous driving; Buick Zhijing E7 is built based on the "Xiaoyao" Super Fusion Architecture, delivering over 10,000 units within one month of launch.

The wheels of time carry original aspirations, and the footprints of struggle remain clear. On May 28, SAIC Group's global 100 millionth vehicle was officially delivered in Shanghai North Bund. When the digital key of IM LS9 Hyper lit up the lighthouse of a new journey, SAIC Group's 100,000,009th to 100,000,013th new cars simultaneously started delivery. SAIC Commercial Vehicle handed over five keys to users at home and abroad—from Singapore DHL's logistics hub to Shanghai Jiading's bus depot, from infrastructure construction sites in Taiyuan, Shanxi to tourism special lines on Laojun Mountain, Henan. It included light vans, light trucks, heavy trucks, and large buses. Using "five keys" as a metaphor, SAIC Commercial Vehicle has turned the page to a brand new chapter of the Chinese commercial vehicle new energy era.

These five keys not only open five new cars, but also are the wealth-creation dreams of thousands of strivers globally, the era's miniaturized version of the Chinese commercial vehicle's leap from following to leading, and more so, the original commitment of SAIC Commercial Vehicle to "Serve People's Livelihoods, Connect the World, and Drive the Future".

Every Era

Has SAIC Commercial Vehicle's Excellent Wealth-Creating Cars

Looking back, the wheels of SAIC Commercial Vehicle have always galloped at key nodes of national development. From the early days of the founding of the country when Yuejin trucks rushed to construction sites across the country, to after the Reform and Opening-up when Iveco light commercial vehicles ran across the great rivers and mountains, to the new energy era, DANA light commercial vehicles became a phenomenon-level model in the new energy light commercial vehicle market, Hongyan new energy heavy trucks support the backbone of green infrastructure, Shenwo Bus became the demonstration model of green public transport, for every era, SAIC Commercial Vehicle has wealth-creating cars belonging to this era; every good car carries the hope of a generation working hard with their hands.

Commercial vehicles are the "capillaries" of the national economy, their value lies in supporting national economy and people's livelihood. User value is the eternal origin point of SAIC Commercial Vehicle. Commercial vehicles are users' "wealth-creation tools"; every investment must be converted into tangible returns. At the 100 million vehicle delivery celebration, these five keys delivered by SAIC Commercial Vehicle precisely embedded into five major scenarios: global trade, urban-rural circulation, urban mobility, infrastructure engineering, and cultural tourism industry, building a green transportation system covering the full chain of production, circulation, and consumption, injecting new momentum into high-quality development of the real economy through technological innovation.

Especially in the global logistics field, SAIC MAXUS defined a new benchmark for green supply chains with Chinese solutions. Addressing Singapore's "land is precious, frequent delivery" market characteristics, SAIC MAXUS customized and developed the DANA V1 (eDeliver5) pure electric light commercial vehicle for DHL. With product advantages of sufficient range, efficient charging, and flexible loading, it fully meets local urban last-mile delivery, cross-border parcel transfer, and supermarket fresh produce transportation needs. Currently, including DHL, SAIC Commercial Vehicle has become a benchmark assistance for multiple global logistics giants exploring green logistics transformation.

In the field of urban-rural circulation grand loop, SAIC MAXUS Yuejin brand used green transportation power to solidify the foundation of common prosperity. In 2025, after nearly 10,000 DANA T1 units were put into operation by Di Shang Tie, it not only significantly reduced logistics transportation costs, but also opened two-way channels for agricultural products entering the city and industrial products going to the countryside, turning green transportation power into tangible income for thousands of workers.

Not limited to global supply chains and urban-rural grand loops, the reach of SAIC Commercial Vehicle's green transportation power has extended to every dimension of urban operations, national infrastructure, and people's livelihood consumption. In the urban mobility field, Shenwo Bus delivered 10-series pure electric buses to Jiading Public Transport, serving as the main force of green public transport and aiding urban low-carbon transformation. In the infrastructure engineering field, Shanxi Henglongsheng again gave Hongyan a vote of confidence with 56 Hongyan New Energy 8x4 dump trucks and tractor units order. From traditional energy to green power, from loyal users to strategic partners, for 8 years, Henglongsheng and Hongyan have jointly written stories of mutual achievement. In the cultural tourism industry, Iveco Juxing EV reached a strategic cooperation with Henan Zhonglian Tourism, using green transportation power to light up local cultural tourism economies.

From global supply chains to domestic grand loops, from urban logistics to rural revitalization, from public transport to infrastructure engineering, products cover full series including heavy trucks, large buses, light trucks, light commercial vehicles, pickups, MPVs, RVs, etc. SAIC Commercial Vehicle's green wheels have deeply integrated into all aspects of national economy and people's livelihood. These five keys open doors for green development in different fields, adhering to SAIC Commercial Vehicle's unchanging original aspiration.

Five Keys, One New Chapter

Let technology serve people, let struggle have more value. These five keys at SAIC Group's 100 million vehicle delivery ceremony, while turning a new chapter of green development in various fields of commercial vehicles, highlight the leading strength of SAIC Commercial Vehicle in global commercial vehicle new energy transformation.

A company's leadership can only show its true weight when placed in the global industrial landscape. Currently, global commercial vehicle new energy transformation lags generally: 2025 Europe market penetration rate is about 10%, North America market less than 3%, Japanese top car companies are still watching. But Shenwo Bus achieved full electrification, MAXUS domestic new energy vehicle penetration rate broke 50% in single months repeatedly, Yuejin new energy light truck sales continue to grow... SAIC Commercial Vehicle, with 35% overall new energy vehicle penetration rate, is like a lighthouse, illuminating the direction of global commercial vehicle transformation.

This leadership stems from precise grasping of the pulse of era development, and more so from precise solving of core industry pain points and technological innovation. Relying on SAIC Group's R&D investment of nearly 150 billion yuan in the past decade, SAIC Commercial Vehicle did not take the shortcut of "single point breakthrough", but built a "Technology - Intelligent Manufacturing - Ecosystem" full-chain innovation system, persisting in pure electric, plug-in hybrid, range extender, and hydrogen fuel four roads advancing together, and pioneering the "Large Battery + Small Range Extender" technology route. Taking "Ultimate TVO (Total Lifecycle Value) and TCO (Total Lifecycle Cost)" as the foundation, relying on self-developed architectures like "Hongtu" "Xingzhan", from the "last mile" of livelihood wealth creation to the main artery of global logistics, full scenario empowerment, walking with strivers, forging a new energy transformation path that fits China's national conditions and can be replicated globally.

The dual advantages of technology and intelligence have been converted into competitiveness in the global market. The new energy reform has broken the monopoly pattern of Western car companies for decades, providing Chinese brands with the historical opportunity to overtake on a bend. SAIC Commercial Vehicle's map has covered over 100 countries and regions globally, building five "Ten-Thousand Unit Level Core Markets". Light commercial vehicle export volume rose to 2nd in Chinese car companies, light commercial vehicle export volume ranks 1st, pickup export volume ranks 2nd, and by integrating full-category resources under its brand to build an integrated development system, it moved from single product going global to systematic, ecosystem-based, global new development stage.

SAIC Commercial Vehicle's leadership is a gift of the era. All technical breakthroughs and market achievements stem from SAIC Commercial Vehicle's original aspiration of walking with thousands of strivers. Behind every commercial vehicle, there is a striver who treats the vehicle as home. They are urban distribution drivers shuttling through streets and alleys at 3 am, heavy truck couples running across the country, rural passenger transport masters picking up and dropping off children for school, infrastructure workers rushing against the schedule under the scorching sun... They treat the car as production materials, as the reliance for raising a family and getting rich, as a partner to realize dreams. It is exactly the trust and entrustment of tens of thousands of users that, together with SAIC Commercial Vehicle, has walked through a journey of struggle.

Five keys, one new chapter. Facing the future, SAIC Commercial Vehicle proposed the goal of "doubling sales, breaking annual sales of 500,000 vehicles" within five years, taking "Market First in China Light Commercial Vehicles", "Market First in China New Energy Light Commercial Vehicles", "Market First in Overseas Light Commercial Vehicle Exports" as three strategic pivot points, aiming at the first tier of global commercial vehicles.

Standing on the new starting point of SAIC Group delivering 100 million vehicles, SAIC Commercial Vehicle will continue to inherit the original aspiration of Chinese car companies serving the country through industry, with the determination of "Second Entrepreneurship", continuously deepening green intelligent technology, creating more wealth-creating good cars that can make money, are easy to drive, and are reliable. Not disappointing the gift of the era, not disappointing users' trust, let China's commercial vehicles' green wheels run across urban and rural lands, sailing towards the global market.
