GAC Group's Feng Xingya Champions Torch Relay for the 15th National Games

On November 2, the opening ceremony of the torch relay for China's 15th National Games took place, thrilling spectators across four cities: Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. This grand event not only highlighted the spirit of the Games but also showcased GAC Group’s enduring partnership as the Official Automotive Partner.

At the Hong Kong relay ceremony, Feng Xingya, the Chairman and President of GAC Group, took up the mantle of torchbearer. His role marks a significant return to this duty after 15 years, having previously participated in the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. Carrying the torch through the vibrant landscapes—from the flowing Pearl River to the iconic Victoria Harbour—Feng's journey symbolizes GAC's evolution from a local brand to a globally recognized powerhouse.

GAC’s commitment to enhancing the sporting experience is evident through its technological innovations and service support for the 15th National Games. The company deployed its advanced fleet, including multiple high-quality vehicle models to support logistics throughout the event in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region. This included the innovative use of smart technologies such as autonomous vehicles and high-tech humanoid robots, marking a significant step towards integrating technology into athletics.

Among the fleet, the E9 PHEV served as the primary command vehicle during the relay. GAC demonstrated its expertise in producing right-hand-drive vehicles by providing customized versions of the E9 PHEV and HYPTEC HT to support the Hong Kong and Macao segments of the relay. These vehicles not only represented the commitment to environmental sustainability but also offered innovative low-carbon transport solutions designed for the Games.

Furthermore, GAC established a dedicated Intelligent Mobility Service Center, operational around the clock, ensuring effective management and swift response to any unexpected situations. This level of planning and responsiveness stands as a testament to Chinese intelligent manufacturing and GAC's commitment to delivering unparalleled service.

Reflecting on the journey from the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010 to the 2025 National Games, GAC's dedication and enthusiasm for nurturing the nation’s sports landscape have remained unabated. As GAC continues to expand its global business footprint, it firmly believes in innovation as the crucial engine driving progress.

The 15th National Games represent a culmination of efforts, passion, and dedication from various sectors, with GAC Group at the forefront, leading the charge in celebrating Chinese athletic prowess while leveraging technology to create a remarkable and memorable experience for athletes and spectators alike.

This torch relay is not just a ceremonial honor for Feng Xingya and GAC Group; it's a bold statement about the future of sports in China, intertwined with innovation and cultural pride—all ignited by the flame of the National Games.
