Among them, new energy vehicle sales grew 68.8% year-on-year; overseas exports exceeded 120,000 units, a significant year-on-year increase of 132%, maintaining a steady pace during the period of deep industry reshaping.

Quality is the bottom line that GAC will never compromise on. Feng Xingya stated in his concluding speech. In GAC's development, scale growth has always kept quality as the foundation. From the R&D end to the manufacturing end, GAC has established a rigorous full-chain quality control system: Each new car must undergo extreme environment tests before launch, including high cold, high heat, high plateau, high humidity, high corrosion, mountainous areas, and sand dust, etc., known as "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust", completing "Two Winters, One Summer" on-site road tests; Utilizing test tracks and laboratories covering 12 major items and over 1,500 validation sub-items of the whole vehicle to achieve systematic quality verification; GAC Aion Intelligent Ecosystem Factory, as the "world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory", guarantees stable mass production quality through a digital intelligent manufacturing system.

At the level of core safety technology, the Star Spirit Safety Guardian System constructs four protection dimensions. Eight key systems adopt dual redundancy design, having protected nearly 2 million users and avoided 6.28 million potential travel risks; Cassette Batteries have been installed in 1.5 million vehicles cumulatively, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers; The service side synchronously strengthens guarantees. GAC pioneered the autonomous brand "Three Responsibilities" policy in the industry, proactively covering issues regarding batteries and intelligent driving assistance that users care about, eliminating user concerns about using the vehicle. It is exactly these lines of safety defense and service commitments that support the brand confidence behind GAC's 30 million sales volume.

"What users care about, we keep in our hearts; what users expect, we go all out for." Feng Xingya stated. This user-centric philosophy has long been deeply integrated into the development genes of GAC Group. For many years, GAC Group has always adhered to the corporate philosophy "People Oriented, Trust as Way, Innovation First".

At the same time, establishing a dedicated user insight department and promoting a full-process transformation from problem discovery to resolution, ensuring from the organizational mechanism that every user request receives a response and every matter finds a solution.

On the other hand, service networks synchronously accelerate penetration. At the channel level, promoting the sinking of service networks into counties, with plans to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores this year; at the response level, launching "Super Butler" service, achieving 5-second response and 2-hour request resolution, guaranteeing direct and fast handling of user requests. At the energy replenishment level, building a "9 Verticals 10 Horizontals" energy network, already covering 31 provinces and 213 cities across the country. Core urban areas achieve "there must be a station within 1 kilometer". Own-brand charging piles number exceeds 27,000, among them ultra-fast charging piles exceed 20,000, providing convenient energy replenishment services for new energy car owners.
