GAC's Remarkable International Growth in Q1 2026
GAC has reported impressive international sales figures for the first quarter of 2026, marking a pivotal phase in the company's global strategy. In March alone, GAC achieved sales of 17,031 vehicles under its own brand, contributing to a remarkable total of 42,165 units sold during the first quarter. This figure represents a staggering year-on-year increase of 86%. The company's growth is largely attributed to its strategic initiative labeled "One GAC 2.0," which emphasizes technology-driven expansion and a comprehensive ecosystem for global operations.
The AION V model has proven to be one of the main drivers of GAC's success, with sales soaring by an impressive 321% year-on-year in March. This model attracts attention with its spacious interior, smart cabin features, advanced driver-assistance systems, and a robust range of 510 km on a single charge. Its increasing popularity across multiple nations underscores the effectiveness of GAC's innovative approach to electric vehicle production and marketing.
In the Asia-Pacific region, sales momentum continues to soar, with Singapore and Thailand reporting staggering increases of 304% and 99% respectively compared to the previous year. Notably, Hong Kong reached a historic sales milestone, closely approaching 2,000 wholesale units in March, alongside over 2,500 vehicle registration documents filed. The region ranked third in local registrations, a testament to GAC's growing footprint in this crucial market. The launch of six flagship models in Hong Kong, combined with a comprehensive sales network and a dedicated express logistics system, has significantly reduced delivery times and enhanced customer satisfaction.
In Europe, GAC achieved substantial growth in Portugal with a monthly sales increase of 37% and a remarkable 300% in Poland. Additionally, the start of production for the AION UT in Austria has set a new benchmark in local manufacturing efforts. On the American continent, Uruguay's sales skyrocketed by 567% year-on-year, with Colombia also seeing a substantial rise of 283%. The AION UT further solidified its status by winning the top award for compact electric vehicles in Bolivia, while the GS4 MAX was recognized as the "Best SUV" in another prestigious event.
GAC has effectively fortified its brand presence through various impactful marketing events, such as launching GAC CARE, its first overseas service brand, at the Bangkok International Motor Show. The company also made strides in South America by sponsoring the TC2000 Championship and forming a partnership with Colombia’s Millonarios Football Club. In Ethiopia, GAC opened a flagship store in Addis Ababa, featuring four fully electric models, showcasing its commitment to sustainability across markets.
From Hong Kong to Europe, and from Africa to America, GAC's philosophy of "Locally, for Locals" is not only driving sales growth but also enhancing value resonance with consumers. Looking to the future, GAC is committed to advancing localized operations, expanding its global service network, and delivering intelligent, low-carbon mobility solutions worldwide.
