GAC Celebrates Cross-China Drive Awards with Groundbreaking Triple Assurance Policy for Independent Brands
On December 28, 2025, a remarkable event took place in Tianjin, China, marking the grand finale of the 2025 China Digital Automobile Competition and the prestigious Cross-China Drive Awards. This year’s competition, organized by China-SAE in collaboration with the National Big Data Alliance of New Energy Vehicles, introduced an innovative digital format that attracted over ten New Energy Vehicle brands. After an extensive testing phase lasting more than 30 days, GAC’s brands demonstrated exceptional performance, earning multiple awards.
Among the standout winners was the HYPTEC HL, which was recognized for setting a new standard in immersive all-dimensional comfort. The GAC ALL-NEW S9 earned accolades for its exemplary applicability in all-scenario assisted driving, while the AION i60 garnered the award for intelligent energy efficiency management. These recognitions not only highlight GAC’s engineering prowess but also solidify its reputation within the rapidly evolving Chinese automotive industry.
Building on the success from the competition, GAC took a groundbreaking step by launching its pioneering Triple Assurance Policy—aimed at enhancing safety, responsibility, and consumer confidence among independent Chinese automotive brands. This policy represents a commitment to taking full responsibility for three critical areas: thermal incidents related to battery issues, motor failures, and electronic control system malfunctions. It also covers battery degradation beyond specified limits and accidents resulting from intelligent parking features. This initiative makes GAC the first independent Chinese automaker to introduce such a comprehensive policy, reflecting a commitment to customer safety and satisfaction throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle—from purchase to daily use and maintenance.
The introduction of the Triple Assurance Policy marks a significant shift in the automotive landscape, transforming the consumer experience from a price-driven approach to one focused on value-driven assurances. By elevating the standards of accountability and peace of mind, GAC aims to foster a culture of confidence among its users, ensuring they feel secure every time they engage with their vehicles.
Moreover, this policy signifies more than just a corporate initiative; it represents the culmination of trust forged under the challenging conditions of the Cross-China Drive competition. GAC’s emphasis on user-centered philosophy means that the company is dedicated to offering more reliable products, transparent commitments, and comprehensive services to its customers.
As GAC moves forward, the company is poised to reshape the development of the Chinese automotive industry by prioritizing high-quality advancements and creating genuinely worry-free mobility experiences for users. With the push toward higher standards and assurance, GAC sets itself apart in a competitive market, raising the bar for its peers and paving the way for a more dependable automotive future for consumers.
The Cross-China Drive Awards and the subsequent launch of the Triple Assurance Policy not only exemplify GAC's dedication to innovation and quality but also underscore its role as a leader in the independent automotive sector in China. This commitment to excellence is expected to influence the broader industry, encouraging other manufacturers to adopt similar assurance frameworks aimed at enhancing consumer trust and safety in an increasingly complex automotive landscape.
