July 16, GAC Group held a 30 million user gratitude event at the Trumpchi factory, where government leaders, industry experts, partners, and car owner representatives from home and abroad jointly witnessed the production line rollout of the 30 millionth complete vehicle—the right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV. Since the first vehicle rolled off the line 29 years ago, GAC, with quality and safety as its foundation, and electrification and intelligence as its direction, has completed the leap from scale expansion to value ascent.

At the event, GAC's multiple global production bases connected synchronously. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota bZ7, Qijing GT7, AION N60, and Hyper S600 rolled off the line sequentially as vehicles numbered 29,999,995 to 29,999,999, debuting the full new energy matrix and vividly demonstrating the determination to transform. Feng Xingya handed over the key to the 30 millionth vehicle to Thai owner Tony Jaa, while He Xianqing awarded honorary owners of all brands. In the first half of the year, GAC sales reached 773,100 units, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%; new energy vehicle sales grew by 68.8%; overseas exports broke through 120,000 units, surging 132%; a steady trend confirms global user trust.

"Quality is the bottom line GAC will never compromise," Feng Xingya emphasized. GAC integrates Honda TQM, Toyota TPS, and Lingnan culture to build a "Fusion Innovation" quality management model. Every new car must undergo "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme environment tests and "Two Winters, One Summer" road trials before launch, covering 12 major categories and over 1,500 verification items for the whole vehicle. As the world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory, the AION Intelligent Ecological Factory ensures mass production stability through digital manufacturing. The Star Spirit Security Protection System builds four defense dimensions and dual-redundancy design for eight systems, having protected nearly 2 million users and mitigated 6.28 million risks; Cassette batteries are installed in 1.5 million vehicles, with safe driving exceeding 160 billion kilometers. GAC was the first to launch the brand's "Three Responsibilities" policy, actively taking responsibility for battery and intelligent driving issues, backing the brand's confidence with hardcore safety and service commitments.

User orientation is deeply embedded in our DNA. GAC regularly holds "User Open Mic" events, establishing a closed-loop management mechanism to ensure every suggestion is responded to; established a dedicated user insight department to promote problem-solving process transformation. The service network extends to counties, adding 1,000 authorized stores within the year; "Super Butler" achieves 5-second response and 2-hour completion; the recharging network "9 Verticals 10 Horizontals" covers 31 provinces and 213 cities, with a station guaranteed within a 1km straight line in core urban areas, over 27,000 self-operated charging piles, and supercharging piles exceeding 20,000. Gratitude season launched simultaneously, with six major brands launching special policies around new purchase, trade-in, and additional purchase to thank the company of 30 million users.

With 30 million as a new starting point, GAC accelerates technical advancement. Star Source Power covers extended range, plug-in hybrid, and super dual-engine, undergoing 100,000 hours of bench testing and over 10 million kilometers of equivalent verification; the pilot production line for all-solid-state batteries is completed, and the Quark Electric Drive's maximum efficiency broke 99%, leading the industry. The Star Spirit Architecture connects six major systems including intelligent driving, cockpit, and chassis, improving comprehensive performance by 40%; Star River Intelligent Cockpit achieves endpoint-cloud integration, building a "thinking" partner. GAC partners with Huawei, CATL, Didi, Tencent, and Alibaba to build an AI ecosystem. Cumulative R&D investment exceeded 62 billion yuan, with a global R&D team exceeding 6,800 people.

Looking towards the future, GAC will take user needs as the anchor, quality as the root, tech innovation as the engine, and global expansion as the path, advancing towards an ecosystem-based tech enterprise, rushing towards a smarter, greener, and broader future alongside global users.
