On July 16, GAC Group held a gratitude ceremony for 30 million users at the GAC Trumpchi factory. Themed "30 Million Trust, Walking Together with Quality," this event not only witnessed the historic milestone of GAC's total vehicle production exceeding 30 million units, but also fully displayed the complete growth context of this automaker that has been deeply cultivated in the automotive industry for 29 years, from joint venture factory establishment to independent breakthrough, from leading in fuel vehicles to new energy transformation, from立足 domestic to global markets. Government authorities, automotive industry associations, upstream and downstream supply chains, domestic and foreign vehicle owners, and media representatives gathered onsite to witness the highlight node belonging to China's automotive industry.

30 Million Vehicle Deliveries: Behind the Numbers, A Time Microcosm of Chinese Automakers' Transformation

From the first vehicle rolling off the line to the formal delivery of the 30 millionth unit, GAC has traversed 29 years. The heavy figure of 30 million vehicles is not merely a sales scale symbol, but a superposition of multi-layered value. This delivery is highly symbolic: vehicles rolled off the production line simultaneously at multiple global bases, including GAC Honda P7, Toyota Platinum 7, Qijing GT7, AION N60, and Hyper S600 five new energy models. As the 29,999,995th to 29,999,999th vehicles, the 30 millionth vehicle that closed the event was the right-hand drive Trumpchi M8 PHEV, delivered specifically to famous Thai owner Tony Jaa. The entire line's rolled-off vehicles were exclusively new energy products, directly confirming GAC's comprehensive electrification and intelligence transformation rhythm, and also sending a clear signal of the brand digging deep into overseas right-hand drive markets and exerting effort in global new energy layout.

In my opinion, this delivery design hides two industry trends: Firstly, new energy vehicles have become the absolute main force of GAC's production and sales growth; fuel vehicles and joint venture models are no longer the growth baseline. Secondly, the overseas market has become GAC's new growth curve. Delivering right-hand drive MPV models to overseas owners indicates that independent brand high-end new energy models have the competitiveness to go global, shedding the stereotypical labels of low-price exports in the past.

Market data also confirms the transformation results: In the first half of 2026, GAC sold a cumulative 773,100 vehicles, a slight year-over-year increase of 2.35%; the new energy segment showed strong explosive growth, with sales increasing by 68.8% year-over-year; overseas exports exceeded 120,000 units, an increase of up to 132%. Under the dual pressure of domestic market price war involution and intensified overseas trade barriers, GAC achieved synchronized growth in sales, new energy, and exports, which is sufficient to prove the feasibility of the "Electrification + Globalization" dual strategy, providing a reference development model for other domestic automakers.

Quality Bottom Line Unwavering: Full-chain Control Strengthens 30 Million User Trust Foundation

At the event site, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya clearly stated: Quality is GAC's core bottom line that will not compromise. After nearly thirty years of accumulation, GAC integrated Honda TQM Total Quality Management and Toyota TPS Lean Production models, combined with local Lingnan pragmatic culture, to create a unique "Integration and Innovation" quality management system, running reliable experience through the vehicle R&D, manufacturing, and delivery full process.

Before GAC new cars hit the market, they must complete "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme environment tests, experiencing two winters and one summer of on-site road trials; the whole vehicle laboratory covers 12 major categories and over 1,500 verification items. Any component or whole vehicle performance defects will be intercepted before mass production. As the world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory, GAC AION Smart Factory relies on digital and automated production lines to achieve stable and unified quality of mass production models, reducing quality control fluctuations from the manufacturing end.

At the same time, GAC self-developed Xingling Safety Guard System, building four protective dimensions of intelligent chassis, active and passive safety, intelligent driving assistance, and battery safety. Eight core systems adopt dual redundancy design, cumulatively avoiding 6.28 million potential driving risks for nearly 2 million owners; the self-developed Magazine Battery installation volume exceeded 1.5 million units, with safe driving mileage exceeding 160 billion kilometers, solving the pain point of battery safety that new energy users worry about most at the bottom layer. At the same time, the industry's first independent brand "Three Responsibilities" policy was launched, proactively backing the two core user concerns of batteries and intelligent driving assistance, implementing safety commitments to the after-sales level.

In my opinion, many automakers currently place their promotional focus on surface selling points such as intelligent cockpits and acceleration performance, while weakening basic quality control and safety investment. GAC's adherence to the "Quality Priority Over Scale" idea precisely captures the essence of the automotive industry: cars, as high-frequency usage bulk travel tools, safety and durability are the core logic for users to choose brands long-term, and also the core competitiveness for GAC to accumulate 30 million users.

Centered on Users: Full-cycle Service System, Connecting Pain Points of the Entire Driving Link

"People as the Foundation, Trust as the Path, Innovation as the Priority" is the corporate philosophy that GAC has long adhered to. Implemented at the operational level, it is a complete user service ecosystem covering pre-sales, usage, after-sales, replenishment, and feedback.

Firstly, at the user level, normalize "Users Full Mic Open" offline symposiums, inviting owners to walk into the corporate headquarters to give suggestions face-to-face, with a closed-loop rectification mechanism. User-reflecting personalized needs and batch common issues can be quickly implemented and optimized; a user insight department was specially established to guarantee user requests have a response from the organizational structure level, truly achieving user needs to drive product iteration in reverse.

While in the channel end, accelerate the sinking of county markets. In this year, it is planned to add 1,000 county-authorized stores to solve the inconvenience of maintenance and car buying for owners in third and fourth-tier cities and towns; online launch of "Super Butler" service, 5-second quick response to consultation, 2 hours to complete user requests, greatly compressing after-sales waiting time.

At the same time, in the construction of energy replenishment networks, GAC Energy built a "9 Verticals 10 Horizontals" national charging network. As of June 2026, 2,099 charging stations and 27,107 charging piles have been built, including over 20,000 supercharging piles, covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide. Core urban areas achieve guaranteed charging stations within 1 kilometer linear distance. With 386 V2C bidirectional charging piles, it connects car, power grid, and home energy interconnection scenarios, directly hitting the industry pain points of new energy owners facing difficulty and slow charging in replenishment.

To reward 30 million owners for their long-term companionship, GAC simultaneously launched the 30 Million Roll-off・Renewal Gratitude Season event. The event cycle continues until the end of August. Under GAC Honda, GAC Toyota, Trumpchi, AION, Hyper, and Qijing six passenger car brands simultaneously launch special policies for new purchases, trade-ins, and additional purchases, converting user trust into tangible car-buying benefits and completing a two-way feedback between brand and users.

Tech Driven Long-term Growth: Full-domain Technology Layout, Rushing towards Smart Green New Track

30 million is the milestone of GAC's development, and also a new starting line. Relying on accumulated R&D investment exceeding 62 billion yuan and a global R&D team of 6,800 people, GAC continues to attack in three core tracks of power, battery-electric-drive, and intelligent connectivity, building long-term competitive barriers with self-developed technology.

In terms of power, the Xingyuan Power Platform built by the National Distinguished Engineer team includes three technical routes: Xingyuan Range Extender, Xingyuan Plug-in Hybrid, and Xingyuan Super Twin, balancing diverse driving needs such as no range anxiety, low energy consumption, and gas-electricity consideration. The full power system passed 100,000 hours of bench testing and equivalent over 10 million kilometers of whole vehicle verification, guaranteeing stable power in complex road conditions and extreme climates, solving the common problem of insufficient durability of current hybrid models.

In terms of battery-electric-drive technology, GAC focuses on battery low-temperature attenuation and fast charging speed shortcomings, building a full solid-state battery pilot production line; the self-developed Quark Electric Drive Motor efficiency breaks 99%, reaching top industry levels, reducing power consumption and increasing range from the core component level, and improving new energy product competitiveness from the bottom layer.

Additionally, the upgraded Xingling Electronic Architecture serves as the whole vehicle "Super Brain", connecting six systems of intelligent driving, cockpit, power, and chassis, improving whole vehicle comprehensive performance by 40%; supporting Galaxy Smart Cockpit to achieve end-cloud synergy, allowing vehicles to possess autonomous perception, learning, and interaction capabilities. At the same time, GAC collaborates with leading enterprises such as Huawei, CATL, Tencent, and Alibaba to build an intelligent car ecosystem, filling the software and ecosystem shortcomings outside of self-developed.

Objectively speaking, domestic new energy automakers are divided into two routes: some enterprises focus on short-term stacking of intelligent configuration, while others like GAC dig deep into underlying power, battery-electric-drive, and whole vehicle architecture core technology. In the short term, the former has stronger marketing effects, but in the long term, underlying self-developed technology is the moat for brands to pass through the industry cycle. GAC's layout of continuous high R&D investment will gradually release technical dividends in the next 3-5 years.

Conclusion

29 years of deep cultivation, 30 million units of user trust, is the best answer sheet for GAC to stick to quality, embrace change, and deepen users. Standing at a new starting point, GAC takes self-developed technology as the core, user needs as the orientation, and globalization as the development path, accelerating the transformation into an ecosystem technology enterprise. In the critical stage where China's automotive industry shifts from "scale up" to "value strengthen", GAC's development practice proves: only by holding the quality bottom line, continuous technological innovation, and truly centering on users can one stand firm in fierce industry competition and drive towards a new travel era that is more intelligent, green, and global.

July 16, GAC Group held a very special gratitude event at its home court -- GAC Trumpchi Factory. The theme was "30 Million Users". Leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou City, Panyu District, Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya, General Manager He Xianqing, along with owner, dealer, supplier and employee representatives from home and abroad, all came to the scene to witness the moment of the birth of GAC's 30 millionth user.

From the first vehicle off the line to the delivery of the 30 millionth vehicle, GAC has traversed 29 years. This number, 30 million, is not just sales figures on the books, but a vote of confidence cast by millions of users with their hard money. It is GAC's decades of unwavering commitment to quality and safety, and also a microcosm of its full-speed sprint towards the electrification and intelligence track. It can be said that this is also a vivid footnote to China's automobile industry's journey from getting bigger to getting stronger, and from competing on scale to competing on value.

At the event site, GAC directly connected to multiple global production bases. GAC Honda P7, GAC Toyota Platinum Wisdom 7, GAC Envision GT7, GAC Aion N60, Hyper S600 and other brand-new models went off the line one by one, all are New Energy Vehicles. The finale was the right-hand drive version of Trumpchi M8 PHEV. As the 30 millionth complete vehicle, it steadily drove onto the stage. Feng Xingya personally handed over the car key to Thai owner Tony Jaa. In this moment, frozen is not just a huge number, but a warm witness of GAC and global users reaching each other across mountains and seas.

This trust from all corners of the globe is also the confidence for GAC to remain stable amidst major changes in the industry. In the first half of this year, GAC's overall sales reached 773,100 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%, among which NEVs skyrocketed by 68.8%; overseas exports exceeded 120,000 vehicles, a sharp increase of 132% year-on-year. At a time of deep adjustment in the car market, this pace is considered steady.

Quality, The Root of GAC

Why would 30 million people choose GAC? Feng Xingya's answer was very straightforward: "Quality is the bottom line GAC will never compromise on." Over the years, GAC has absorbed the strengths of partners such as Honda and Toyota in quality management, and integrated the pragmatic spirit of Lingnan culture, forming its own unique quality control system. Ultimately, everything is for one goal: to build good cars that users drive with peace of mind, use with peace of mind, and sit comfortably in.

From R&D to manufacturing, GAC set extremely strict checkpoint processes for new vehicles. Before the launch of each new car, it must undergo extreme environment testing such as extreme cold, extreme heat, high altitude, high humidity, high corrosion, mountainous areas, and dust, also known as the "Five Highs, One Mountain, One Dust" extreme environment testing, and must complete the "Two Winters, One Summer" real-world long-term testing. In test tracks and laboratories, the complete vehicle must pass system verification of 12 major items and over 1,500 sub-items. GAC Aion's Intelligent Ecological Factory is also the first "Lighthouse Factory" in the global New Energy Vehicle industry, using digitalization and smart manufacturing to guarantee consistent high quality for every vehicle.

Investment in safety is never ambiguous. The "Xingling Safety Guardian System" sets protection from four dimensions, and all eight key systems have adopted dual redundant design. It has helped nearly 2 million users avoid 6.28 million times of potential driving risks. Users are familiar with the Sword Battery, with cumulative installations exceeding 1.5 million vehicles, and safe driving mileage breaking through 160 billion kilometers. What is more reassuring for users is that GAC was the first in the industry to launch the "Three Liability" policy for Battery and Intelligent Driving Assistance for its own brand. When encountering related annoying matters, the manufacturer proactively takes responsibility, thoroughly eliminating worries. It is these lines of safety defense and a series of service commitments that support the confidence behind 30 million sales.

Treat User Matters as One's Own

"What users care about, we keep in mind; what users expect, we go all out." Behind this sentence is GAC's "People-Oriented" gene. In order for users' real voices to be heard directly by executives, GAC normalizes the "User Open Mic" activity, inviting car owners into their "home" for face-to-face feedback. All opinions undergo full-process closed-loop management, common problems are optimized at the first time, and solutions are provided for all users. GAC also specifically established a User Insight Department to ensure organizationally that "every demand has a response and every matter is settled".

The reach of the service network is also accelerating downwards. This year, GAC plans to add 1,000 county-level authorized stores, allowing county and township users to view and repair cars at their doorstep. The "Super Butler" Service launched at the same time can achieve 5-second response and 2 hours completion for general demands. In terms of charging and energy replenishment, GAC has built a "9 Verticals, 10 Horizontals" charging network, covering 31 provinces and 213 cities nationwide, with core urban areas basically achieving a station within a straight line of 1 kilometer. Self-operated charging piles have exceeded 27,000, with super charging piles breaking 20,000, making it more convenient for New Energy vehicle owners to find and charge piles.
