Tony Jaa Celebrates GAC's Milestone as the 30 Millionth Customer

Tony Jaa Celebrates GAC's 30 Millionth Vehicle

On July 16, 2026, during a significant ceremony in Guangzhou, GAC Group's President Feng Xingya handed over the keys of the GAC M8 PHEV to none other than acclaimed Thai action star, Tony Jaa. This moment marked not only the launch of the 30 millionth vehicle from GAC but also a representation of the brand's steady ascent as a formidable player in the global automotive industry.

Tony Jaa’s selection as the milestone customer is a strong testament to the trust that over 30 million global customers have placed in GAC. This confidence stems not from hype, but from the brand’s dedication to robust manufacturing processes and genuine craftsmanship.

GAC has built its reputation by sincerely prioritizing quality over shortcuts. While many in the industry adhere to standard testing protocols, GAC distinguishes itself by going further – implementing rigorous vehicle testing that includes extreme scenarios that encompass "five heights, one mountain, and a dust zone." New models are subjected to at least two winters and a summer, ensuring that they undergo a comprehensive 18-month validation phase under real-world conditions. This extensive evaluation encompasses 12 primary categories and over 1,500 sub-elements, tested in wind tunnels and on specialized test tracks.

To tailor their vehicles to international markets, GAC conducts additional adaptive tests that take local climate and road conditions into account. This includes testing in the extreme heat of the Middle Eastern desert and the humid, heavy rains typical of Southeast Asia. Such meticulous attention to detail ensures that the quality of GAC vehicles is consistent, a philosophy that has become a cornerstone of their operations.

A significant contributor to this quality assurance is GAC's pioneering eco-friendly smart plant, AION, which is renowned as the world’s first "lighthouse factory" for new energy vehicles. This innovative facility utilizes a comprehensive digital quality monitoring system throughout the manufacturing process. Automated robots equipped with AI vision systems respond in milliseconds, ensuring precision metrics are maintained, whether vehicles roll off the production line in Guangzhou or at plants abroad.

Safety remains paramount in GAC’s production philosophy. The company has installed its battery systems in 1.5 million vehicles, amassing over 160 billion kilometers of safe driving data. Additionally, GAC’s Starlink safety protection system serves nearly 2 million users, successfully averting approximately 6.28 million potential incidents. This unwavering commitment to safety and quality has allowed GAC to develop a presence in 110 countries, thereby earning the trust of millions of drivers worldwide.

While GAC celebrates this remarkable achievement with Tony Jaa and the notable 30 million vehicles sold, the company also emphasizes its future objectives. GAC is poised to continue refining its manufacturing processes to offer high-quality, worry-free mobility experiences for every customer globally.
