On-site Experience:
Witnessing R&D Strength
and Product Hard Power
The delegation visited the Styling Laboratory of GAC DESIGN CENTER observing innovative concepts and technical practices in automotive design up close. Through the display of design schemes and explanations of model iteration processes, they intuitively experienced GAC’s "Five Cities in Three Countries" global design system. This system integrates Oriental aesthetic characteristics while accurately adapting to the aesthetic and usage needs of the European market.
On the same day, a test drive event was held at the Foshan Tanzhou Convention and Exhibition Center Test Track. Covering an area of 17,000 square meters, the track features high-quality asphalt/concrete pavement suitable for multi-scenario performance testing. Star models including the AION UT, HYPTEC HL, HYPTEC HT, GAC All-New S7, GAC All-New S9, and GAC All-New M8 were all in attendance. Dealers were divided into groups to experience four key test items: figure-8 loop, bump test, S-curve slalom, and straight-line acceleration. This allowed them to fully experience the models’ advantages in flexibility, comfort, handling, and power performance. The event was supported by 4 professional coaches and multiple safety personnel, with strict speed limits enforced (40km/h for figure-8 loop and bump test, 50km/h for S-curve slalom, and 100km/h for straight-line acceleration) to ensure a safe and smooth experience.

Anchoring in Europe: Deepening the Global
New Energy Market through Synergistic Cooperation
As a representative Chinese automaker with a presence in 85 countries and regions, GAC has always regarded the European market as a strategic priority in its global layout. Prior to this, GAC had integrated core local technical standards into the entire R&D process of new models through cooperation with authoritative European institutions, removing obstacles for the smooth entry of its products into the European market.
The visit of this dealer delegation has further built a bridge for in-depth communication between GAC and its European partners. In the future, GAC will continue to focus on technological innovation, optimize products and services in line with European market demands, and work hand in hand with dealer partners to deepen local market development. With its core advantages of "technology + green + safety", GAC will drive the cooperation between both parties to new heights amid the global new energy vehicle wave.
