GAC Achieves Stellar 140% Export Growth in May
In an impressive display of growth, GAC has reported a 140% increase in vehicle exports in May, reaching a total of 28,386 units. This surge, compared to the same period last year, marks a significant milestone for the company in its journey towards establishing a reputation as a global automotive leader.
The cumulative export numbers from January to May stand at 98,861 vehicles, reflecting a solid 135% increase over the previous year. The remarkable growth can be attributed to GAC's strategic initiative, “One GAC 2.0”, which emphasizes localized operations and high-quality service.
Among its outstanding products, the
AION UT has emerged as a top contender in the electric vehicle (EV) hatchback market, gaining popularity in regions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombia, and Uruguay since its international debut in March 2025. This recognition in highly competitive EV markets underlines GAC's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
A Global Force in the Automotive Landscape
GAC's remarkable sales figures underscore its emergence as a significant global automotive player. Rather than relying on a single market or model, GAC's diversified growth strategy encompasses a meticulous product development approach backed by a maturation of its international ecosystem, which incorporates production, distribution, after-sales service, and brand engagement across 102 countries and regions worldwide.
Regionally, GAC's growth trajectory has been particularly notable. The Asia-Pacific region witnessed a staggering 123% increase in retail sales in May, bolstered by a remarkable 293% growth in Hong Kong and Thailand’s leading position in the electric taxi segment. Similarly, the Americas recorded tremendous performance, with a 144% year-on-year increase in regional retail sales.
In Colombia, sales skyrocketed by 1,088%, followed by astounding increases of 806% in Uruguay and 733% in Costa Rica, illustrating a growing consumer confidence throughout Latin America. Additionally, the Middle East has seen its
EMZOOM brand garner the top spot in the Lebanese SUV market, while GAC has been acknowledged in Kuwait as the premier Chinese brand in terms of product quality and resale value of used cars.
Progressing Towards Long-Term Market Development
May marked pivotal moments in GAC's long-term market strategy. The company officially entered the Pakistani market, launching four new models along with a comprehensive localization plan. In Europe, GAC made its debut in the UK, where the
AION V received a warm reception from local media, highlighting a critical step forward in the brand's electrification strategy across the continent.
Moreover, new partnerships in sports marketing with clubs like
Deportivo Toluca FC in Mexico and
Sydney FC in Australia have significantly strengthened GAC's cultural presence in these rapidly growing markets.
With six overseas production facilities and over 696 licensed dealerships worldwide, GAC now aims for an annual export target of 250,000 units. The brand is not just focused on expanding vehicle exports but is also establishing the necessary infrastructure, partnerships, and brand equity to secure a sustainable position in the global automotive arena.
