Recently, XCMG signed a procurement agreement for 300 new energy commercial vehicles with OCR, a leading distributor in Thailand, in Bangkok. The first batch of 100 units has been delivered. Xia Yongyong, Deputy General Manager of XCMG Group, Party Secretary and General Manager of XCMG Automobile, attended the ceremony.

This strategic cooperation between XCMG and OCR is not limited to complete vehicle sales, but covers lifecycle value management including technical services, spare parts supply, and financial support. This means XCMG is simultaneously embedded in the local service network and parts guarantee system, helping users reduce operating costs and improve operational availability.

Deep Cultivation: Building Long-term Value with Full-cycle Service

In 2005, XCMG's first piece of equipment arrived at a Thai port, planting the seeds of cooperation with OCR Company.

In June 2025, Chairman Yang Dongsheng attended the 20th anniversary celebration of the cooperation between XCMG and OCR. Through the in-depth integration of "Product + Scenario", the two sides are jointly promoting the green transformation of the Thai construction machinery industry and building a new ecosystem for green and sustainable industrial development.

In Southeast Asia, XCMG has established a perfect service network and spare parts warehouse. It is this capability upgrade from "selling products" to "full lifecycle" that became the reason for OCR choosing to cooperate with XCMG to develop the transportation market.

Overcoming Challenges: Establishing a Firm Footing in the Southeast Asian Market with Technical Strength

Thailand is a logistics hub in Southeast Asia, currently ushering in an acceleration period for the green transformation of transportation. However, the local hot and humid climate characteristics, combined with diverse and complex working conditions such as trunk logistics, ore material transfer, and urban construction transportation, pose tests for new energy commercial vehicles far beyond general markets.

As a senior force in the local commercial vehicle sector in Thailand, OCR Company actively guides traditional fleets towards green transformation. XCMG Automobile is a leading enterprise in China's new energy commercial vehicles, with new energy heavy truck sales ranking first in the industry for three consecutive years. Relying on a mature localized service network and good user reputation, combined with the product's excellent safety, reliability, and economy, XCMG has truly won OCR's recognition.

Relying on XCMG's independently developed core battery, motor, and electronic control technologies, combined with overseas exclusive vehicle calibration and high quality control, XCMG's products maintained stability and economy in actual operations with high temperature, high humidity, and complex road conditions, gradually becoming a demonstration benchmark for local green transport capacity.

Currently, the demand for new energy commercial vehicles in Thailand is accelerating.

In the process of global transportation green and low-carbon transformation, XCMG new energy commercial vehicles have transformed from product providers to value creation builders. XCMG will take this cooperation as a fulcrum to replicate and promote the "Product + Scenario" integrated solution to more countries and regions.

On May 28, 2026, SAIC Group held the "World's First 100 Millionth User Delivery Ceremony" at the World Living Room of Shanghai North Bund, becoming the first automotive group in the history of China's automotive industry to exceed 100 million cumulative production and sales. Previously, only the United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea, etc. had "100-million-level automakers." SAIC's breakthrough marks a new historical step for China's automotive industry.

Over 70 Years, From Hand-Built to Leading

SAIC's starting point was the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company, established in 1955. In 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" sedan in an alley factory, achieving the "zero breakthrough" for Shanghai's sedan manufacturing.

Subsequent key milestones: The first Santana rolled off the line in 1983,开启 a new era of joint cooperation; Shanghai GM was established in 1997, creating the "Shanghai Speed" of 23 months from factory construction to vehicle launch; In 2006, the independent brand Roewe was born; In 2016, the world's first Internet car Roewe RX5 was launched; In 2020, the high-end smart electric brand IM Motors was established.

The 100 millionth user is Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta — SAIC's core strategic partner in the intelligent driving field. "Partner becomes owner" is a microcosm of deep technological co-creation.

January to April Sales 1.302 Million Vehicles, Four Consecutive Months Champion

The foundation of 100 million vehicles is solid market performance. From January to April 2026, SAIC Group cumulatively sold 1.302 million vehicles, ranking first among Chinese automakers for four consecutive months. Among them, independent brand sales were 910,000, accounting for nearly 70%; New energy vehicle sales were 412,000; Overseas market sales were 459,000, a year-on-year surge of 50.2%.

Regarding R&D investment, in the past decade, SAIC has cumulatively invested over 150 billion yuan in new energy and intelligent connected fields, forming nearly 26,000 valid patents. In 2014, the sales proportion of SAIC new energy vehicles was less than 0.1%, while in 2025, this proportion exceeded one-third.

Global Layout, Products Spanning Over 170 Countries and Regions

SAIC is a pioneer in China's automotive industry "going global." Currently, it has over 100 parts production bases and over 3,000 dealer networks overseas, with 3 major R&D innovation centers including London, and 4 production centers in Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan. SAIC Logistics owns 42 roll-on/roll-off ships, with 8 international routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

As of now, SAIC's products and services cover over 170 countries and regions, with cumulative overseas sales exceeding 7 million units. MG has won the champion of European sales for Chinese brands for 11 consecutive years; in 2025, European annual sales exceeded 300,000, becoming the first Chinese automotive brand to accumulate over one million sales in Europe and the UK.

In 2025, SAIC released the overseas "Glocal Strategy" (Global + Local), accelerating the shift from "Product Going Global" to "Value Chain Going Global".

Final Thoughts

100 million vehicles is not the end point, but a new starting line for SAIC to "start a second entrepreneurship" towards the future of smart electricity. From 1955 to 2026, from the first user to the 100 millionth user, from "hand-built" manufacturing to global technology leadership, SAIC's development history is itself a condensed history of the rise of China's automotive industry. SAIC has already proved the depth and resilience of China's automotive industry with 100 million vehicles. Who will be the next 100-million-level automaker?

The first in China, SAIC Group's cumulative production and sales exceed 100 million vehicles! On May 28, at the Shanghai North Bund World Living Room, SAIC Group took this place as the origin to launch a global-reaching "First 100 Millionth User" vehicle delivery ceremony, becoming the first automotive group in Chinese automotive history to break 100 million cumulative production and sales. As a global leader in new energy commercial vehicles, SAIC Commercial Vehicles, with Maxus, Keya, IVECO, Hongyan, and Sunwin five brands, completed the global delivery relay from the 100,000,009th to the 100,000,013th vehicle, jointly creating a milestone in the Chinese automotive industry and engraving a historical coordinate for the Chinese commercial vehicle industry.

Behind the 100 million vehicles lies the long-term accumulation and explosive growth of SAIC's 70-plus years of deep cultivation, and it is also a vivid miniature of Chinese commercial vehicles moving from scale leadership to value leadership. Relying on the group's global resource empowerment, SAIC Commercial Vehicles has built the industry's most complete commercial vehicle matrix covering heavy trucks, buses, light trucks, light vans, pickups, MPVs, and RVs, continuously leading the Chinese commercial vehicle industry with a 35% new energy penetration rate and seizing opportunities in the global carbon neutrality wave. With reliable quality, cutting-edge technology, and a complete ecosystem, products are sold in over 100 countries and regions, winning deep trust from top global partners such as DHL, becoming the core force for Chinese commercial vehicles going global, moving in, and moving up.

Continuously leading Chinese brands to go global, Maxus drives global green logistics upgrade with benchmark strength. In Singapore, Maxus delivered eDeliver 5 (domestic Dana V1) to international logistics giant DHL, welcoming the group's 100,000,009th user. This is another milestone moment since both parties joined hands in 2017. Years of deep cultivation, Maxus not only won the largest procurement order of Chinese brands in DHL's European region, but also firmly stayed in its list of preferred partners for green transformation, with cooperation footprints covering Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania. Nowadays, relying on leading product strength and global strategy, Maxus light vans and high-end pickup export volumes firmly rank first in China, building five 10,000-unit level core markets; won C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, ANCAP global three major five-star safety certifications, continuously leading exports in high-end markets such as Singapore, Europe, Australia, and successfully joined the preferred cooperation camp of global top enterprises such as FedEx, DPD, JD.com, SF Express, Cainiao Logistics, with global strength to strongly expand the 100 million user map.

Based on the domestic market, the four brands deeply cultivate two major tracks of livelihood and infrastructure with green capacity. Keya delivered Dana T1 to Dizhantie in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, relying on high load-bearing, long range, and intelligent connectivity advantages to cover green urban distribution scenarios. In 2025, Keya delivered nearly 10,000 units cumulatively to Dizhantie, unblocking urban-rural logistics "capillaries". Sunwin delivered 10-series low-floor pure electric buses in Shanghai, empowering urban public transport smart upgrade with zero-carbon travel. Hongyan delivered i Jieshi dump trucks in Taiyuan, Shanxi, calmly mastering complex mountain operating conditions with military foundation and powerful performance, deeply protecting the construction of a strong country in infrastructure. IVECO delivered Juxing EV in Luoyang, Henan, 100-degree large capacity battery solved the mountain operation range problem, setting a new benchmark for green passenger transport. The four brands relay delivery, welcomed the group's 100,000,010 to 100,000,013th users, jointly casting a 100-million level milestone with hardcore strength.

From domestic core cities to key overseas markets, from logistics delivery and infrastructure engineering to public travel and tourist passenger transport, every delivery of the five brands is a vivid practice of SAIC Commercial Vehicles "Hand in Hand with Chinese Power, Driving the World's Pulse". 100 million users are not the end point, but a new starting point of trust. Facing the future, SAIC Commercial Vehicles will continue to take technological innovation as the core, user value as the guide, lead green transformation, deepen global layout, and write the brilliant chapter of the Chinese commercial vehicle industry on the new journey.

On May 28, SAIC Group held the "Global 100 Millionth User Delivery Ceremony" at the North Bund World Living Room in Shanghai. How grand was this event? More than ten vehicle brands and nineteen car models under SAIC Group relayed from Shanghai all the way to Nanjing, Liuzhou, Taiyuan, and even crossed national borders to the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore – all live globally. But upon closer inspection, the "starting whistle" for all this was blown by two Shangjie units.

The 999,999,996th and 999,999,997th units cumulatively delivered by SAIC Group were both Shangjie brand vehicles.

Two cars, an electric purple-pink Shangjie Z7 and an amber gold-green Z7T, were personally handed to two young owners by SAIC Group Chairman Jia Jianxu. The numbers themselves are worth mulling over – falling short of 100 million units, just three or four steps away. In other words, the moment all eyes focused on Shangjie, the milestone of 100 million units was just behind a sheet of paper.

This is obviously no coincidence.

SAIC leaving such an important "pre-billion night" to Shangjie sends a very clear signal: This brand is not just a casual endeavor. It is a true "deep interlock" between SAIC and Huawei – not a brand sticker or shell fitting cooperation, but a collaboration where both teams worked together from underlying R&D to production line planning, from three-electric architecture to intelligent driving solutions.

Now, all of these assets are bet on Shangjie. SAIC Group's attitude is very clear, the most mature production lines, the best technology, the best talent, "All in Shangjie".

Why the effort? Because with new energy penetration rates already reaching 60%, SAIC needs a brand capable of tearing open a gap in the mainstream market. Zhiji targets the high-end, Roewe and MG have their own positions, but the biggest and most competitive cake between 150,000 and 250,000 lacks a truly capable role. Shangjie is that role.

And Huawei's addition completes the final piece of the puzzle. Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving, HarmonyOS Cockpit, Smart Mobility Solutions – placing these tags into the mainstream price range makes a different impact. Not to mention, just look at the expressions of those two young people receiving keys at the delivery site, and you know this combination punch hit the right spot for someone.

Before delivery of the Shangjie Z7 and Z7T, 1,300 vehicles participated in testing, cumulatively driving 11 million kilometers, from the freeze of Mohe to the roast of Turpan, from the Tibetan Plateau into the Hainan rainforest, leaving tire marks in 75% of the province within the country. The body uses 91% high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, 14 places of 2,000 MPa hot-formed steel – at this level, few dare to compare the numbers on the table. Even the car paint was not sloppy, collaborating with the WGSN Color Institute to create 10 trending colors, not decided on a whim, but finalized after truly pondering what tone young people want.

More critically, it's the pace. After the Z7 series opened large pre-orders, relying on SAIC Group's manufacturing strength, production capacity is already ramping up, and bulk delivery can begin by the end of May. From order to delivery, there were no delays. This speed relies not on slogans, but on the entire manufacturing system supporting it from behind.

Back to the number of 100 million units. It is certainly huge, huge enough to be abstract. But if you break it down – the 999,999,996th and 999,999,997th units were Shangjie,

SAIC handed over the "last kick" of 100 million units to Shangjie. Delivered were not two cars, but an attitude: On the road to the next 100 million units, Shangjie must lead the way.

Recently, Geely announced its May overseas sales figures. Overseas export sales exceeded 85,000 units, hitting a new record, with a year-on-year increase of 184%.

In April, Geely's overseas new energy vehicle sales increased by 624.5% year-on-year, ranking first among Chinese new energy vehicle brands for overseas growth rate again.

In segmented markets, Geely's sales performance continues to flourish across multiple areas. Among them, only 14 months after entering the Australian market, delivery volume surpassed 10,000 units, becoming one of the fastest-growing Chinese automakers locally; meanwhile in the Brazilian market, sales climbed to over 4,000 units, refreshing the highest single-month sales record in that country. The Mexican market accumulated sales of 16,000+ units from January to April, creating a new historical record.

The Geely EX2 achieved B-segment hatchback new energy vehicle sales Top 1 in multiple markets including Mexico, Indonesia, and Costa Rica; The Geely EX5 became the sales champion in the pure electric SUV-C market in the first quarter in multiple countries such as Australia, the UAE, and Uruguay. Zeekr models 7X and 009 became the sales champions in the segmented markets, among which the Zeekr 7X topped the sales chart in the Australian market again, surpassing the long-time market leader Tesla Model Y.

Facing pressure from surging orders, Geely relied on the Ningbo overseas export hub, simultaneously deploying Ro-Ro vessels, container ships, and international railway trains to conduct sea-land intermodal transport, fully guaranteeing complete vehicle delivery. The head of international business at Geely Auto Group Logistics Center stated in an interview that currently multiple transport routes have been urgently added, forming a capacity resource layout of 4 major rail ports and 6 major sea ports, equipped with two self-owned Ro-Ro vessels, and multiple new cross-border transport lines have been opened to continuously supplement various capacity resources, capable of stably shipping nearly 10,000 new vehicles to core European ports monthly. The China-Europe Railway Express Geely special train operates regularly, reducing transport time by 40 days compared to sea transport. In the future, to cope with the explosive growth in overseas sales, Geely will continue to expand its overseas transport scale and further optimize vehicle delivery timelines.

The surge in Geely's overseas sales intuitively demonstrates Geely's strong product capabilities and the implementation of its localization strategy, and further reflects the strong strength of Chinese automobiles in the field of high-end and technology exports.

On May 28, 2026, the Shanghai North Bund World Reception Hall hosted a delivery ceremony to be recorded in the history of China's automotive industry. As an IM LS9 Hyper drove out, SAIC Motor officially welcomed its 100 millionth user globally. At this moment, SAIC Motor became the first automotive company in China's industry to surpass 100 million cumulative production and sales, setting a new milestone for the development of China's automotive industry. This delivery ceremony was not limited to a single venue; instead, through the form of "Global Relay Delivery," the delivery scene extended from the main venue in Shanghai to domestic cities such as Nanjing and Liuzhou, as well as overseas markets like the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore. This was not only a delivery spanning continents but also a concentrated display of the globalization operational capability of Chinese automotive brands.

SAIC's 100 million journey almost spanned the entire process of China's modern automotive industry from nothing to something, from weak to strong. The establishment of the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company in 1955 marked the beginning of Shanghai's automotive industry; in 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan with hammers, achieving a zero breakthrough in domestic sedan manufacturing. Over the subsequent decades, SAIC has always walked at the forefront of industry transformation: the launch of the Santana in 1983 opened the precedent for Chinese automotive joint venture cooperation; the establishment of Shanghai General Motors in 1997 created the "Shanghai Speed" of "plant construction and vehicle production within 23 months"; the birth of the Roewe brand in 2006 marked the rise of independent innovation; in 2016, the Roewe RX5 took the lead in defining the "Internet Car". Today, the establishment of the high-end smart electric brand IM is the mark of SAIC's comprehensive entry into the smart electric era. What runs through this long journey is SAIC's consistent adherence to the concept of "Understanding Cars and Understanding You More," transforming breakthroughs in core technologies into travel experiences perceptible to users.

As the model for the 100 millionth unit off the line, the IM LS9 Hyper embodies over 70 years of SAIC's technical accumulation. This flagship model is equipped with a full-line-by-wire four-wheel steering chassis, a 520-line super-vision LiDAR, and the NVIDIA Thor chip, combined with a global 800V high-voltage platform and the Star Super Range-Extending Technology, achieving breakthroughs in handling, intelligent driving, and range. It is worth mentioning that the 100 millionth user is exactly Momenta, the core strategic partner of SAIC in the field of intelligent driving - Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta Company. This delivery model of "ecosystem partners becoming users" also confirms the new paradigm of technical co-creation in China's automotive industry.

Behind the scale of 100 million units is the support of SAIC's powerful full-value-chain ecosystem. Data shows that in the first four months of 2026, SAIC Motor led the Chinese car market with 1.302 million units in sales, among which overseas market sales increased by more than 50% year-on-year. Currently, SAIC has established over 100 parts bases, more than 3,000 sales outlets overseas, as well as 8 international logistics routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. From early product exports to the release of the "Glocal" Global Localization Integration strategy, SAIC is accelerating the transformation from "product going global" to "value chain going global". The MG brand has held the title of best-selling Chinese brand in the European market for eleven consecutive years, the IM AD intelligent driving system covers five continents globally, and cutting-edge technologies such as semi-solid-state batteries have also landed in the global market. Standing at the new starting point of 100 million scale, SAIC is using technological innovation as a pen to re-write the narrative method of China's automotive industry participating in global competition.

At the delivery site, in addition to the full-scale offensive of independent brands, the performance of joint venture brands was equally bright. Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, Audi E7X, and Buick Zijing E7 models were displayed together, marking the entry of SAIC joint venture cooperation into the "2.0 era". In this stage, SAIC's technical role has changed from early "local adaptation" to "technical definition". For example, the Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X globally first deployed Momenta R7 Reinforced Learning World Model, and the Audi E7X plans to become the first Audi global model to achieve landing of L3-level autonomous driving. This ability of technical reverse output is a powerful proof of SAIC's over 70 years of technical accumulation.

"Understanding Cars and Understanding You More" is not an empty slogan, but is reflected in the story of every real user. From the tech blogger moved by Stelato Z7 Huawei Intelligent Driving, to the London intern doctor who inherited their grandfather's sentiment and chose MG; from former national football player Yang Chen who chose Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, to public welfare blogger Liu Jia who was moved by Buick Zijing E7 cockpit. Whether it is white-collar workers commuting in the city, players who love off-roading, or strivers working on the logistics front line, every user is a witness to SAIC's development process.

100 million units is both a milestone and a new starting point. In 2014, SAIC was the first to respond to the national new energy vehicle development strategy, opening the "second entrepreneurship" of smart electric transformation. Today, SAIC has formed a development pattern of coordination between independent and joint ventures, parallel progress between passenger and commercial vehicles, and resonance between domestic and overseas. With the in-depth promotion of the "Glocal Strategy", SAIC is continuously perfecting the overseas product matrix covering SUV, sedan, MPV, pickup and other full categories, promoting Chinese smart manufacturing to go further to the world. From the 1955 initial exploration to the 2026 industry leadership, SAIC will continue to walk the 100 million journey with global users and co-create a new future for better travel.

Final Thoughts

100 million vehicles is not the end point, but a new starting line for SAIC to "start a second entrepreneurship" towards the future of smart electricity. From 1955 to 2026, from the first user to the 100 millionth user, from "hand-built" manufacturing to global technology leadership, SAIC's development history is itself a condensed history of the rise of China's automotive industry. SAIC has already proved the depth and resilience of China's automotive industry with 100 million vehicles. Who will be the next 100-million-level automaker?

100 million vehicles. China's automotive industry witnessed its first "hundred-million club".

On May 28, at the World Living Room at North Bund in Shanghai, with the keys to the IM LS9 Hyper handed to Momenta CEO Cao Xudong, SAIC Motor officially welcomed its global 100 millionth user. Oriental TV broadcast the event live in full. No lengthy speeches, no parameter PPTs, just a "Global Connected Delivery" spanning the Eurasian continent and involving multiple locations—from passenger cars to commercial vehicles, from independent brands to joint ventures, from China to the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore.

This is indeed worth celebrating. But more worth questioning than the number is: After 100 million vehicles, where does SAIC plan to go next?

The answer lies in the signal from the ceremony itself: How to convert the user base, technical reserves, industrial depth, and global network behind the 100 million vehicles into systemic competitiveness for the next journey.

The Value of 100 Million Users

Not Inventory, But Insights and Understanding

For SAIC, 100 million vehicles represent scale, and more importantly, a user base formed by long-term service to different markets, scenarios, and usage needs.

Equal emphasis on passenger and commercial vehicles, dual-wheel drive of independent and joint ventures, coordination between domestic and overseas markets—this "family portrait" structure gives SAIC rare user insight depth among Chinese automakers. What kind of tool vehicle does a rural grassroots worker need? Why did an overseas athlete choose a Chinese brand? How does a multinational logistics company evaluate new energy commercial vehicles? The answers to these questions cannot be derived solely from market research company questionnaires; they come more from the continuous feedback of 100 million vehicles in real-world scenarios.

This is the real context of SAIC's "Understanding Cars and Understanding You Better". "Understanding Cars" is the engineering capability, quality system, manufacturing standards, and industrial foundation accumulated by SAIC over more than 70 years; "Understanding You" is converting these capabilities into user-perceivable, usable, and trustworthy product experiences, precisely responding to users' real needs.

Therefore, 100 million vehicles are not the end point, but the starting point for SAIC to re-activate user value. Future competition will be measured not by "who has more products", but by "who can better convert user insights into product appeal".

Technology Democratization

Progression from "Having It" to "Having It Well"

In the intelligent electrification era, various technologies emerge one after another and iterate rapidly; "competing on parameters" has become something every automaker must do. When everyone shouts "technology democratization", the real dividing line is: How long does it take for technology to go from the lab to the driver's seat? How much functionality is lost from multi-million flagship models to tens-of-thousands national cars?

This is the key to what SAIC proposed as "Equity-driven Progression". Equity is far more than downgrading configurations; it is about letting more people enjoy advanced technology. Progression is not just technological innovation, but requires truly improving user experience.

The models involved in this delivery perfectly present the different levels of SAIC's technology conversion. The 100 millionth IM LS9 Hyper concentrated on showing SAIC's next-generation technology reserves: Star Super Range Extender, Full-Line-by-Wire Four-Wheel Steering, Lizard Digital Chassis 3.0, Momenta Intelligent Driving Large Model. But more worth noting is that these capabilities are being explored towards broader price ranges and usage scenarios: HuaJing S brings the Huawei Qiankun Smart Family Bucket into the 150,000-level family SUV market, making high-level intelligence no longer strongly bound to high prices; Wuling Rongguang Pure Electric Version puts a 100kW Silicon Carbide Rear-Wheel Drive Motor and a 32.6 kWh Shenlian Battery with replaceable cells into a 69,800 yuan level wealth-creation micro-van; Roewe M7 Dark Horse Version is equipped with the DMH 6.0 Super Hybrid System, responding to family users' demand for quality travel with long range and low energy consumption. High-level technology is no longer exclusive to high-end models, but enters the daily travel of more users through SAIC's product matrix.

This is SAIC's true technology moat: Relying on R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality systems, converting complex technology into safe, reliable, and convenient daily experiences. Here, "parameters" are no longer footnotes on a launch event PPT, but core value that truly meets user expectations and solves real pain points.

Open Ecosystem

Why Him as the 100 Millionth User?

Cao Xudong standing on the delivery stage was the most thought-provoking moment of the entire ceremony.

He is not a "car owner" in the traditional sense. As Momenta CEO, his relationship with SAIC has long gone beyond ordinary business cooperation - IM and Momenta were "Foundational Lighthouse Partners" from the very beginning of the brand's birth, jointly refining IM's full-series intelligent driving solutions. Now, the partner actively becomes a car owner and announces that L3-level autonomous driving will land at SAIC first, planning to use this LS9 Hyper for validation testing, turning "Open Co-creation" from an industry slogan into a touchable business reality.

This open posture has been consistent throughout SAIC's more than 70 years of development. From the Santana localization community, to joint ventures like SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC GM, to independent brand building, SAIC has always learned in openness, accumulated in cooperation, and grown in innovation. Entering the intelligent electrification era, open cooperation is entering a new stage.

On one hand, the connotation of joint venture cooperation is upgrading. In the past, Joint Venture 1.0 more meant the introduction of advanced products, manufacturing systems, and management experience; today, Joint Venture 2.0 emphasizes co-creation of technology. The delivery of SAIC Volkswagen ID.ERA 9X is a representative of this change. It is not a simple electrification of traditional joint venture products, but integrates Chinese intelligent technology, Chinese speed, and local user insights on top of German automotive heritage, presenting a new look of joint venture brands on the new intelligent electrification track.

On the other hand, SAIC's cooperation with technology partners such as Huawei, Momenta, OPPO, Doubao, and Horizon Robotics has also extended the boundary of openness from the traditional industrial chain to new fields such as intelligent driving, intelligent cockpits, AI ecosystems, and software experiences. The Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.1 on Shangjie Z7, the Huawei Qiankun Family Bucket on HuaJing S, and the deep collaboration between IM and Momenta — behind these delivery models lies an "open wall-less" industrial rainforest.

Whether it is the deep binding of joint venture partners or the ecosystem synergy of cross-industry technology companies, it is the industrial connotation of SAIC's "Beauty Shared Together" concept. 100 million vehicles are not just SAIC's 100 million vehicles, but the result jointly nurtured by this open ecosystem network.

Globalization

From "Selling Out" to "Taking Root"

At the London delivery site, intern doctor Natalia formed a deep bond with this century-old brand because of her grandfather's classic MGB, and firmly chose the MG4 EV Urban. Two generations, the same brand, spanning the technological change from fuel to pure electric, witnessing Chinese intelligence endowing the British heritage with a whole new era connotation.

This story just happens to answer the ultimate question of the outside world regarding Chinese automotive going global: Can a century-old brand operated by a Chinese automaker still win over the new generation of overseas consumers? MG answered this with the achievement of being the first Chinese brand to break one million cumulative sales in Europe.

This is also the core of SAIC's overseas strategy "Glocal 3.0": Achieve "Global thinking, local action", forming personalized and intelligent product plans for different regional markets. 3 major overseas R&D centers, 4 production bases, over 3000 dealer networks, 42 self-operated Ro-Ro ships, SAIC has built a full industrial chain going global capability that is rare among Chinese automakers. True globalization is far more than just selling cars globally. In every market, deeply combining technical advantages, industrial chain advantages, and operational experience with local needs is the only way to achieve the leap from scale going global to value going global.

After 100 Million Vehicles

It is a Test of "Systemic Resilience"

Standing at the 100 million vehicle node, SAIC is facing competition that is no longer single-dimensional. Product appeal, technological strength, institutional vitality — these three aspects jointly constitute the systemic competitiveness for the future.

The true value of this delivery lies in the signal it conveys: When the market is still trapped in short-term zero-sum games, SAIC has already given an answer with a "family portrait" spanning the globe — the ultimate end of the automotive industry is never a solo act of a single enterprise or brand, but a contest regarding systemic strength.

From the Phoenix brand to the first 100 million vehicles, SAIC took more than 70 years to witness and participate in the historical leap of China's automotive industry. The next 100 million vehicles will test not just speed, but resilience, depth, and the degree of "Understanding You". It writes a new chapter for Chinese automotive brands moving from scale leadership to innovation leadership, and from the Chinese market to the higher end of the global value chain. Everything has just begun.

On June 1, Changan Automobile announced deliveries of 209,100 units in May, including 70,700 units delivered overseas, a year-on-year increase of 38%. New energy deliveries totaled 92,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%.

On May 28, SAIC Motor held the "Global First 100-Millionth User Vehicle Delivery Ceremony" in Shanghai. Centered on this major historical honor milestone, multiple brands under SAIC Motor synergized.

SAIC Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X's 6,999th owner officially received delivery, at the same time the vehicle became SAIC Motor's global 99,999,999th delivered car, with Chinese player Yang Chen, the first to compete in the Bundesliga, becoming its owner. Thus ID. ERA 9X also achieved delivery of over 7,000 units within 30 days of launch.

The honor of the 100-millionth unit vehicle went to IM LS9 Hyper, with Momenta CEO Cao Xudong becoming its owner. Momenta is SAIC's core strategic partner in the intelligent driving field. ID. ERA 9X also debuted with the Momenta R7 Large Model.

Looking back at SAIC Motor's history, in 1955, Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company was established, and Shanghai's automotive industry started from here. In 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" sedan, achieving a "zero breakthrough" in Shanghai sedan manufacturing.

For over 70 years, SAIC experienced and promoted the entire process of China's automotive industry from nothing to something, from weak to strong: In 1983, the Santana went off the line, marking the start of joint venture cooperation; In 1997, SAIC-GM was established, creating the "Shanghai Speed" of building a factory and producing vehicles in 23 months; In 2006, the independent brand Roewe was born; In 2020, the high-end intelligent electric brand IM Motors was established.

From January to April 2026, SAIC's cumulative sales reached 1.302 million vehicles, ranking first among Chinese automakers for four consecutive months.

Nowadays, SAIC's products and services are distributed in over 170 countries and regions, with cumulative overseas sales exceeding 7 million vehicles.

Connecting smart green transportation, enjoying a wonderful journey! On May 22, the ceremony for the batch delivery of Zhongtong New Energy Tourist Coaches to Macao China Travel Service Co., Ltd. under the Southlight Group (hereinafter referred to as "Southlight Macao Travel") was successfully held in Macao. Wang Zhijian, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, and Fu Jianguo, Chairman of Southlight Group, attended the event and cut the ribbon.

The delivery of this batch of range-extended new energy coaches is a landmark achievement of the deep collaboration between Zhongtong Bus and Macao's culture, tourism, and transportation sectors to jointly build a green and low-carbon Greater Bay Area. It is also a vivid practice of Zhongtong Bus using core technologies to create green application cases for the global high-end market and promoting the high-quality development of global green transportation.

Deeply Cultivating Core New Energy Technologies

Empowering Macao's Low-Carbon Transportation Development

As a high-end window for China's opening up and an important node city of the Greater Bay Area, Macao sets strict standards for the safety, stability, comfort, and regional environmental adaptability of passenger vehicles. It is a "high-end trial field" to test the smart manufacturing strength of new energy coaches.

Southlight Macao Travel is Macao's largest land passenger transport service provider. As a leading enterprise in Macao's tourism industry and a core operating entity for transportation, culture, and tourism, it has deeply cultivated Macao's entire industry chain of "eating, living, traveling, entertainment, sightseeing, and shopping". It is the backbone force of Macao's public transportation and cultural tourism passenger transport services.

To actively respond to the Macao Special Administrative Government's "Macau Long-term Decarbonization Strategy" and "Green Transition of Land Transportation" deployment, and implement the national "Dual Carbon" goals, in recent years, Southlight Macao Travel has comprehensively launched the new energy upgrade of its passenger fleet, accelerating the construction of a green, smart, and efficient modern passenger transport system.

On May 28, 2026, the Shanghai North Bund World Reception Hall hosted a delivery ceremony to be recorded in the history of China's automotive industry. As an IM LS9 Hyper drove out, SAIC Motor officially welcomed its 100 millionth user globally. At this moment, SAIC Motor became the first automotive company in China's industry to surpass 100 million cumulative production and sales, setting a new milestone for the development of China's automotive industry. This delivery ceremony was not limited to a single venue; instead, through the form of "Global Relay Delivery," the delivery scene extended from the main venue in Shanghai to domestic cities such as Nanjing and Liuzhou, as well as overseas markets like the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore. This was not only a delivery spanning continents but also a concentrated display of the globalization operational capability of Chinese automotive brands.

SAIC's 100 million journey almost spanned the entire process of China's modern automotive industry from nothing to something, from weak to strong. The establishment of the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company in 1955 marked the beginning of Shanghai's automotive industry; in 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan with hammers, achieving a zero breakthrough in domestic sedan manufacturing. Over the subsequent decades, SAIC has always walked at the forefront of industry transformation: the launch of the Santana in 1983 opened the precedent for Chinese automotive joint venture cooperation; the establishment of Shanghai General Motors in 1997 created the "Shanghai Speed" of "plant construction and vehicle production within 23 months"; the birth of the Roewe brand in 2006 marked the rise of independent innovation; in 2016, the Roewe RX5 took the lead in defining the "Internet Car". Today, the establishment of the high-end smart electric brand IM is the mark of SAIC's comprehensive entry into the smart electric era. What runs through this long journey is SAIC's consistent adherence to the concept of "Understanding Cars and Understanding You More," transforming breakthroughs in core technologies into travel experiences perceptible to users.

As the model for the 100 millionth unit off the line, the IM LS9 Hyper embodies over 70 years of SAIC's technical accumulation. This flagship model is equipped with a full-line-by-wire four-wheel steering chassis, a 520-line super-vision LiDAR, and the NVIDIA Thor chip, combined with a global 800V high-voltage platform and the Star Super Range-Extending Technology, achieving breakthroughs in handling, intelligent driving, and range. It is worth mentioning that the 100 millionth user is exactly Momenta, the core strategic partner of SAIC in the field of intelligent driving - Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta Company. This delivery model of "ecosystem partners becoming users" also confirms the new paradigm of technical co-creation in China's automotive industry.

Behind the scale of 100 million units is the support of SAIC's powerful full-value-chain ecosystem. Data shows that in the first four months of 2026, SAIC Motor led the Chinese car market with 1.302 million units in sales, among which overseas market sales increased by more than 50% year-on-year. Currently, SAIC has established over 100 parts bases, more than 3,000 sales outlets overseas, as well as 8 international logistics routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. From early product exports to the release of the "Glocal" Global Localization Integration strategy, SAIC is accelerating the transformation from "product going global" to "value chain going global". The MG brand has held the title of best-selling Chinese brand in the European market for eleven consecutive years, the IM AD intelligent driving system covers five continents globally, and cutting-edge technologies such as semi-solid-state batteries have also landed in the global market. Standing at the new starting point of 100 million scale, SAIC is using technological innovation as a pen to re-write the narrative method of China's automotive industry participating in global competition.

At the delivery site, in addition to the full-scale offensive of independent brands, the performance of joint venture brands was equally bright. Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, Audi E7X, and Buick Zijing E7 models were displayed together, marking the entry of SAIC joint venture cooperation into the "2.0 era". In this stage, SAIC's technical role has changed from early "local adaptation" to "technical definition". For example, the Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X globally first deployed Momenta R7 Reinforced Learning World Model, and the Audi E7X plans to become the first Audi global model to achieve landing of L3-level autonomous driving. This ability of technical reverse output is a powerful proof of SAIC's over 70 years of technical accumulation.

"Understanding Cars and Understanding You More" is not an empty slogan, but is reflected in the story of every real user. From the tech blogger moved by Stelato Z7 Huawei Intelligent Driving, to the London intern doctor who inherited their grandfather's sentiment and chose MG; from former national football player Yang Chen who chose Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, to public welfare blogger Liu Jia who was moved by Buick Zijing E7 cockpit. Whether it is white-collar workers commuting in the city, players who love off-roading, or strivers working on the logistics front line, every user is a witness to SAIC's development process.

100 million units is both a milestone and a new starting point. In 2014, SAIC was the first to respond to the national new energy vehicle development strategy, opening the "second entrepreneurship" of smart electric transformation. Today, SAIC has formed a development pattern of coordination between independent and joint ventures, parallel progress between passenger and commercial vehicles, and resonance between domestic and overseas. With the in-depth promotion of the "Glocal Strategy", SAIC is continuously perfecting the overseas product matrix covering SUV, sedan, MPV, pickup and other full categories, promoting Chinese smart manufacturing to go further to the world. From the 1955 initial exploration to the 2026 industry leadership, SAIC will continue to walk the 100 million journey with global users and co-create a new future for better travel.

On May 28, SAIC Group welcomed the delivery of the first 100 millionth vehicle globally, becoming the first automotive group in China to cumulatively exceed 100 million units in production and sales. Among them, SAIC-GM-Wuling contributed more than 32 million units cumulatively. On that day, SAIC-GM-Wuling delivered its global car EKSION to the first batch of users in Jakarta, Indonesia.

[SAIC Group's 100,000,003rd vehicle delivered in Jakarta, Indonesia]

"What people need, Wuling builds." SAIC-GM-Wuling precisely grasped market trends, responding to user needs with hit products. Wuling Hongguang, with its versatile characteristics of "suitable for business and home, tough and durable", has become the preferred model for many entrepreneurs and families. As resident consumption gradually upgraded to quality life, Baojun 730 broke the monopoly of joint-venture brands in the household multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) market with its flexible space and high cost-performance ratio. In 2020, during the window period of new energy transformation in China's automotive industry, the launched Hongguang MINIEV became one of the pioneers in the domestic new energy commuting vehicle field. In May this year, the first technology flagship large six-seater SUV jointly created by SAIC-GM-Wuling and Huawei Qiankun, Huajing S, officially launched, breaking the technical premium barrier of high-end intelligent driving with innovative practices of cross-border synergy.

[Equipped with Huawei Qiankun Technology Flagship Large Six-Seat Huajing S]

SAIC-GM-Wuling accelerated its layout for new energy and intelligence, and while promoting the electrification and intelligence upgrade of its products, deepened and solidified its global market layout. Currently, SAIC-GM-Wuling's cumulative overseas sales have exceeded 1.5 million units, with business covering more than 110 countries and regions globally.

The company has built a full-dimensional core competitiveness covering the intelligent manufacturing system, product matrix, and industrial ecosystem. First, the globally first intelligent island manufacturing system, using the flexible intelligent manufacturing mode of "cars finding workstations, materials finding cars", achieving full-dimensional breakthroughs in efficiency, quality, and cost; Second, a diversified product matrix adapted to the global market. Multiple models such as EKSION (Starlight 560), DARION (Starlight 730), BINGO (Wuling Bingo), BINGO S (Bingo S) have landed overseas successively, covering mainstream categories such as SUV, MPV, and sedans, meeting the differentiated travel needs of different countries and different consumer groups; Third, a unique "Moving Chains Overseas" globalization model, which, through the deep collaboration of the five chains: manufacturingchain, supply chain, sales chain, financial chain, and talent chain, broke the single path of traditional product trade going overseas and promoted the Chinese intelligent manufacturing system and standards to go global.

[Globally First Intelligent Island Manufacturing System (I²MS)]

The global car EKSION delivered in Indonesia this time is the latest footnote of the in-depth promotion of Wuling's globalization strategy. Relying on Indonesia as a core fulcrum, SAIC-GM-Wuling continues to deepen the "Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Integration" regional strategy, comprehensively covering Malaysia and Thailand with new energy products and localized supply chain systems, and gradually radiating to ASEAN countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, forming a globalization pattern of regional synergy and linked development.

The first in China, SAIC Group's cumulative production and sales exceed 100 million vehicles! On May 28, at the Shanghai North Bund World Living Room, SAIC Group took this place as the origin to launch a global-reaching "First 100 Millionth User" vehicle delivery ceremony, becoming the first automotive group in Chinese automotive history to break 100 million cumulative production and sales. As a global leader in new energy commercial vehicles, SAIC Commercial Vehicles, with Maxus, Keya, IVECO, Hongyan, and Sunwin five brands, completed the global delivery relay from the 100,000,009th to the 100,000,013th vehicle, jointly creating a milestone in the Chinese automotive industry and engraving a historical coordinate for the Chinese commercial vehicle industry.

Behind the 100 million vehicles lies the long-term accumulation and explosive growth of SAIC's 70-plus years of deep cultivation, and it is also a vivid miniature of Chinese commercial vehicles moving from scale leadership to value leadership. Relying on the group's global resource empowerment, SAIC Commercial Vehicles has built the industry's most complete commercial vehicle matrix covering heavy trucks, buses, light trucks, light vans, pickups, MPVs, and RVs, continuously leading the Chinese commercial vehicle industry with a 35% new energy penetration rate and seizing opportunities in the global carbon neutrality wave.

Continuously leading Chinese brands to go global, Maxus drives global green logistics upgrade with benchmark strength. In Singapore, Maxus delivered eDeliver 5 (domestic Dana V1) to international logistics giant DHL, welcoming the group's 100,000,009th user. This is another milestone moment since both parties joined hands in 2017. Years of deep cultivation, Maxus not only won the largest procurement order of Chinese brands in DHL's European region, but also firmly stayed in its list of preferred partners for green transformation, with cooperation footprints covering Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania. Nowadays, relying on leading product strength and global strategy, Maxus light vans and high-end pickup export volumes firmly rank first in China, building five 10,000-unit level core markets; won C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, ANCAP global three major five-star safety certifications, continuously leading exports in high-end markets such as Singapore, Europe, Australia, and successfully joined the preferred cooperation camp of global top enterprises such as FedEx, DPD, JD.com, SF Express, Cainiao Logistics, with global strength to strongly expand the 100 million user map.

Based on the domestic market, the four brands deeply cultivate two major tracks of livelihood and infrastructure with green capacity. Keya delivered Dana T1 to Dizhantie in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, relying on high load-bearing, long range, and intelligent connectivity advantages to cover green urban distribution scenarios. In 2025, Keya delivered nearly 10,000 units cumulatively to Dizhantie, unblocking urban-rural logistics "capillaries". Sunwin delivered 10-series low-floor pure electric buses in Shanghai, empowering urban public transport smart upgrade with zero-carbon travel. Hongyan delivered i Jieshi dump trucks in Taiyuan, Shanxi, calmly mastering complex mountain operating conditions with military foundation and powerful performance, deeply protecting the construction of a strong country in infrastructure. IVECO delivered Juxing EV in Luoyang, Henan, 100-degree large capacity battery solved the mountain operation range problem, setting a new benchmark for green passenger transport. The four brands relay delivery, welcomed the group's 100,000,010 to 100,000,013th users, jointly casting a 100-million level milestone with hardcore strength.

From domestic core cities to key overseas markets, from logistics delivery and infrastructure engineering to public travel and tourist passenger transport, every delivery of the five brands is a vivid practice of SAIC Commercial Vehicles "Hand in Hand with Chinese Power, Driving the World's Pulse". 100 million users are not the end point, but a new starting point of trust. Facing the future, SAIC Commercial Vehicles will continue to take technological innovation as the core, user value as the guide, lead green transformation, deepen global layout, and write the brilliant chapter of the Chinese commercial vehicle industry on the new journey.

In April, Geely's overseas new energy vehicle sales increased by 624.5% year-on-year, ranking first among Chinese new energy vehicle brands for overseas growth rate again.

In segmented markets, Geely's sales performance continues to flourish across multiple areas. Among them, only 14 months after entering the Australian market, delivery volume surpassed 10,000 units, becoming one of the fastest-growing Chinese automakers locally; meanwhile in the Brazilian market, sales climbed to over 4,000 units, refreshing the highest single-month sales record in that country. The Mexican market accumulated sales of 16,000+ units from January to April, creating a new historical record.

The Geely EX2 achieved B-segment hatchback new energy vehicle sales Top 1 in multiple markets including Mexico, Indonesia, and Costa Rica; The Geely EX5 became the sales champion in the pure electric SUV-C market in the first quarter in multiple countries such as Australia, the UAE, and Uruguay. Zeekr models 7X and 009 became the sales champions in the segmented markets, among which the Zeekr 7X topped the sales chart in the Australian market again, surpassing the long-time market leader Tesla Model Y.

Facing pressure from surging orders, Geely relied on the Ningbo overseas export hub, simultaneously deploying Ro-Ro vessels, container ships, and international railway trains to conduct sea-land intermodal transport, fully guaranteeing complete vehicle delivery. The head of international business at Geely Auto Group Logistics Center stated in an interview that currently multiple transport routes have been urgently added, forming a capacity resource layout of 4 major rail ports and 6 major sea ports, equipped with two self-owned Ro-Ro vessels, and multiple new cross-border transport lines have been opened to continuously supplement various capacity resources, capable of stably shipping nearly 10,000 new vehicles to core European ports monthly. The China-Europe Railway Express Geely special train operates regularly, reducing transport time by 40 days compared to sea transport. In the future, to cope with the explosive growth in overseas sales, Geely will continue to expand its overseas transport scale and further optimize vehicle delivery timelines.

The surge in Geely's overseas sales intuitively demonstrates Geely's strong product capabilities and the implementation of its localization strategy, and further reflects the strong strength of Chinese automobiles in the field of high-end and technology exports.

"What people need, Wuling builds." SAIC-GM-Wuling precisely grasped market trends, responding to user needs with hit products. Wuling Hongguang, with its versatile characteristics of "suitable for business and home, tough and durable", has become the preferred model for many entrepreneurs and families. As resident consumption gradually upgraded to quality life, Baojun 730 broke the monopoly of joint-venture brands in the household multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) market with its flexible space and high cost-performance ratio. In 2020, during the window period of new energy transformation in China's automotive industry, the launched Hongguang MINIEV became one of the pioneers in the domestic new energy commuting vehicle field. In May this year, the first technology flagship large six-seater SUV jointly created by SAIC-GM-Wuling and Huawei Qiankun, Huajing S, officially launched, breaking the technical premium barrier of high-end intelligent driving with innovative practices of cross-border synergy.

SAIC-GM-Wuling accelerated its layout for new energy and intelligence, and while promoting the electrification and intelligence upgrade of its products, deepened and solidified its global market layout. Currently, SAIC-GM-Wuling's cumulative overseas sales have exceeded 1.5 million units, with business covering more than 110 countries and regions globally.

The company has built a full-dimensional core competitiveness covering the intelligent manufacturing system, product matrix, and industrial ecosystem. First, the globally first intelligent island manufacturing system, using the flexible intelligent manufacturing mode of "cars finding workstations, materials finding cars", achieving full-dimensional breakthroughs in efficiency, quality, and cost; Second, a diversified product matrix adapted to the global market. Multiple models such as EKSION (Starlight 560), DARION (Starlight 730), BINGO (Wuling Bingo), BINGO S (Bingo S) have landed overseas successively, covering mainstream categories such as SUV, MPV, and sedans, meeting the differentiated travel needs of different countries and different consumer groups; Third, a unique "Moving Chains Overseas" globalization model, which, through the deep collaboration of the five chains: manufacturingchain, supply chain, sales chain, financial chain, and talent chain, broke the single path of traditional product trade going overseas and promoted the Chinese intelligent manufacturing system and standards to go global.

The global car EKSION delivered in Indonesia this time is the latest footnote of the in-depth promotion of Wuling's globalization strategy. Relying on Indonesia as a core fulcrum, SAIC-GM-Wuling continues to deepen the "Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Integration" regional strategy, comprehensively covering Malaysia and Thailand with new energy products and localized supply chain systems, and gradually radiating to ASEAN countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, forming a globalization pattern of regional synergy and linked development.

On May 28, 2026, the Shanghai North Bund World Reception Hall hosted a delivery ceremony to be recorded in the history of China's automotive industry. As an IM LS9 Hyper drove out, SAIC Motor officially welcomed its 100 millionth user globally. At this moment, SAIC Motor became the first automotive company in China's industry to surpass 100 million cumulative production and sales, setting a new milestone for the development of China's automotive industry. This delivery ceremony was not limited to a single venue; instead, through the form of "Global Relay Delivery," the delivery scene extended from the main venue in Shanghai to domestic cities such as Nanjing and Liuzhou, as well as overseas markets like the UK, Indonesia, and Singapore. This was not only a delivery spanning continents but also a concentrated display of the globalization operational capability of Chinese automotive brands.

SAIC's 100 million journey almost spanned the entire process of China's modern automotive industry from nothing to something, from weak to strong. The establishment of the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Parts Manufacturing Company in 1955 marked the beginning of Shanghai's automotive industry; in 1958, workers hammered out the first "Phoenix" brand sedan with hammers, achieving a zero breakthrough in domestic sedan manufacturing. Over the subsequent decades, SAIC has always walked at the forefront of industry transformation: the launch of the Santana in 1983 opened the precedent for Chinese automotive joint venture cooperation; the establishment of Shanghai General Motors in 1997 created the "Shanghai Speed" of "plant construction and vehicle production within 23 months"; the birth of the Roewe brand in 2006 marked the rise of independent innovation; in 2016, the Roewe RX5 took the lead in defining the "Internet Car". Today, the establishment of the high-end smart electric brand IM is the mark of SAIC's comprehensive entry into the smart electric era. What runs through this long journey is SAIC's consistent adherence to the concept of "Understanding Cars and Understanding You More," transforming breakthroughs in core technologies into travel experiences perceptible to users.

As the model for the 100 millionth unit off the line, the IM LS9 Hyper embodies over 70 years of SAIC's technical accumulation. This flagship model is equipped with a full-line-by-wire four-wheel steering chassis, a 520-line super-vision LiDAR, and the NVIDIA Thor chip, combined with a global 800V high-voltage platform and the Star Super Range-Extending Technology, achieving breakthroughs in handling, intelligent driving, and range. It is worth mentioning that the 100 millionth user is exactly Momenta, the core strategic partner of SAIC in the field of intelligent driving - Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta Company. This delivery model of "ecosystem partners becoming users" also confirms the new paradigm of technical co-creation in China's automotive industry.

Behind the scale of 100 million units is the support of SAIC's powerful full-value-chain ecosystem. Data shows that in the first four months of 2026, SAIC Motor led the Chinese car market with 1.302 million units in sales, among which overseas market sales increased by more than 50% year-on-year. Currently, SAIC has established over 100 parts bases, more than 3,000 sales outlets overseas, as well as 8 international logistics routes covering Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. From early product exports to the release of the "Glocal" Global Localization Integration strategy, SAIC is accelerating the transformation from "product going global" to "value chain going global". The MG brand has held the title of best-selling Chinese brand in the European market for eleven consecutive years, the IM AD intelligent driving system covers five continents globally, and cutting-edge technologies such as semi-solid-state batteries have also landed in the global market. Standing at the new starting point of 100 million scale, SAIC is using technological innovation as a pen to re-write the narrative method of China's automotive industry participating in global competition.

At the delivery site, in addition to the full-scale offensive of independent brands, the performance of joint venture brands was equally bright. Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, Audi E7X, and Buick Zijing E7 models were displayed together, marking the entry of SAIC joint venture cooperation into the "2.0 era". In this stage, SAIC's technical role has changed from early "local adaptation" to "technical definition". For example, the Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X globally first deployed Momenta R7 Reinforced Learning World Model, and the Audi E7X plans to become the first Audi global model to achieve landing of L3-level autonomous driving. This ability of technical reverse output is a powerful proof of SAIC's over 70 years of technical accumulation.

"Understanding Cars and Understanding You More" is not an empty slogan, but is reflected in the story of every real user. From the tech blogger moved by Stelato Z7 Huawei Intelligent Driving, to the London intern doctor who inherited their grandfather's sentiment and chose MG; from former national football player Yang Chen who chose Volkswagen ID. ERA 9X, to public welfare blogger Liu Jia who was moved by Buick Zijing E7 cockpit. Whether it is white-collar workers commuting in the city, players who love off-roading, or strivers working on the logistics front line, every user is a witness to SAIC's development process.

100 million units is both a milestone and a new starting point. In 2014, SAIC was the first to respond to the national new energy vehicle development strategy, opening the "second entrepreneurship" of smart electric transformation. Today, SAIC has formed a development pattern of coordination between independent and joint ventures, parallel progress between passenger and commercial vehicles, and resonance between domestic and overseas. With the in-depth promotion of the "Glocal Strategy", SAIC is continuously perfecting the overseas product matrix covering SUV, sedan, MPV, pickup and other full categories, promoting Chinese smart manufacturing to go further to the world. From the 1955 initial exploration to the 2026 industry leadership, SAIC will continue to walk the 100 million journey with global users and co-create a new future for better travel.
