GAC Records a 140% Export Growth, Advancing Sustainable Global Mobility

GAC's Export Growth and Vision for Global Mobility

In May, GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Group) achieved a remarkable milestone, reporting a staggering 140% increase in exports compared to the previous year. This stellar performance highlights GAC's commitment to advancing sustainable global mobility. The total number of exported units reached 28,386, reflecting a cumulative total of 98,861 exports from January to May, signifying a 135% growth year on year.

The success of GAC can largely be attributed to its innovative strategy known as “One GAC 2.0,” which emphasizes producing high-quality vehicles tailored for local markets while ensuring they meet global standards. Among the standout models contributing to this growth is the AION UT, which has been leading the segment of fully electric hatchbacks ever since its global launch in March 2025. Specifically, it has gained wide recognition in competitive electric vehicle markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombia, and Uruguay.

GAC’s achievements are particularly notable in various regions, showcasing a well-rounded approach rather than reliance on any single market or product. Retail sales in the Asia-Pacific region surged by an impressive 123% in May, with Hong Kong showcasing a dramatic 293% increase and Thailand maintaining its position as a leader in the electric taxi sector.

In the North, Central, and South American markets, GAC experienced extraordinary growth with retail sales jumping by 144% year on year. Colombia reported an extraordinary increase of 1,088%, while Uruguay and Costa Rica followed closely with increases of 806% and 733%, respectively. This dramatic rise in figures is a clear reflection of the consumer confidence sweeping across Latin America.

In the Middle East, the EMZOOM model achieved the number one position in Lebanon’s B-segment SUV market, while GAC has been recognized in Kuwait as the leading Chinese brand in terms of product quality and resale value for used vehicles.

May also marked a pivotal month for GAC's long-term market development. The company officially launched its entry into the Pakistani market by introducing four new models accompanied by a comprehensive localization strategy. Additionally, GAC made its official debut in the UK with widespread positive media coverage regarding the AION V, marking a significant step towards the brand's electrification journey in Europe.

Furthermore, partnerships in sports marketing with teams like FC Deportivo Toluca in Mexico and FC Sydney in Australia have deepened the brand’s cultural roots in vital growth markets, enhancing brand recognition.

With six production facilities overseas and over 696 dealerships around the world, GAC is no longer just exporting vehicles. Instead, it is establishing the necessary infrastructure, partnerships, and brand value required for a lasting presence in the global automotive landscape. The ambitious goal is set at an annual export target of 250,000 units.

GAC continues to propel forward, driving both innovation and a commitment to sustainability, positioning itself as a true player in the worldwide automotive industry. For more detailed information about GAC, visit GAC Group or follow them on social media.
