GAC's AION i60: A New Player in the Global Electric Vehicle Market

On November 7, 2026, GAC officially launched the AION i60 in Indonesia, marking its international debut. This model has already established a strong sales record, having sold over 100,000 units in China before its overseas introduction. The launch showcases GAC’s ambitions to expand its market presence in the competitive field of electric vehicles (EVs).

As the EV market becomes increasingly overcrowded, GAC is focusing on quality and trust as pillars of their strategy. This approach was emphasized by Masato Katsumata, GAC International's Chief Technology Officer, during the launch event. He underlined that quality is essential not only for consumer confidence but also throughout all stages of research and development (R&D) and manufacturing.

Katsumata brings with him over 30 years of experience from Toyota, providing GAC with valuable insights into international automotive R&D. His influence reflects the company’s commitment to creating competitive products right from the initial development phase, tailoring them for specific international markets.

GAC’s dedication to quality spans the entire life cycle of their vehicles—from R&D to manufacturing and beyond. Through a productive partnership that has lasted over 22 years with Toyota, GAC has been able to merge the lean production principles of Toyota's Production System with their own manufacturing practices and innovative technologies. This collaboration has led to the development of the GAC Production System (GPS) 3.0, a state-of-the-art manufacturing system implemented across all global production facilities to uphold uniform manufacturing and quality standards.

The AION i60 stands on GAC’s proprietary electric vehicle platform, designed specifically for battery electric vehicles. This innovative platform not only underpins the AION i60 but also serves as a foundational element for models like the Toyota bZ3X, highlighting GAC's engineering prowess and the collaborative synergy that exists between GAC and Toyota.

GAC is further investing in its in-house development of key technologies, incorporating both intelligent solutions and electrification. Their technological advancements include components like the Quark Electric Drive, Magazine battery design, and the ADiMOTION system. These innovations reflect GAC's proactive approach to laying the groundwork for future competitiveness in the evolving automotive landscape.

Succeeding in international markets is a test of GAC’s ability to meet stringent consumer expectations and quality demands that vary widely across global landscapes. The launch of the AION i60 is viewed as a critical step in transforming GAC's strengths and technologies into a global competitive advantage.
