Technological Innovations Driving GAC’s EV Development

We firmly believe that pure electric driving is the future trend, and technological innovation is the core driving force for this transformation. To this end, we established an exclusive R&D center in 2006, continue to pursue technological breakthroughs, and strive to create a mobile experience that combines exquisite craftsmanship and a futuristic sense, so that vehicles not only have visual impact, but also take into account environmental protection and energy saving.

Our R&D team successfully developed Magazine Battery 2.0. This battery is not only safer, but also has a greatly improved battery life, effectively breaking the stereotype that the battery life of pure electric vehicles is not as good as that of fuel vehicles. After strict testing, it has been proved that the battery is safe and will not cause fire accidents. It only takes 10 minutes to charge and can last 250 kilometers. Imagine charging a GAC pure electric vehicle almost as fast as refueling-this is the future travel experience we are committed to creating.

Artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology are the indispensable core competitiveness of our pure electric vehicles. GAC Research Institute focuses on the research and development of autonomous driving technology and creates a unique intelligent driving system. These systems are equipped with ultra-high-definition vision sensors and advanced AI algorithms, which can predict and respond to complex road conditions, providing users with a smarter and safer driving experience.

In addition, we actively promote lightweight materials and efficient design to reduce car body weight and further improve energy-saving efficiency. Through innovative composite materials and aerodynamic engineering, GAC vehicles achieve excellent energy efficiency without sacrificing comfort and beauty.

Sustainability at the Core of GAC’s EV Strategy

Sustainable development is not only our goal, but also GAC Group's core concept deeply rooted in corporate genes. In response to Hong Kong’s climate goals, we prioritize the use of environmentally friendly materials in our manufacturing process to take concrete actions to reduce our carbon footprint. From recycling parts to sustainable procurement, every link strives to minimize the impact on the environment.

Our green smart factory actively promotes a number of environmental protection initiatives, combines clean energy such as smart microgrids and solar energy, and continuously optimizes production processes to achieve the highest energy efficiency and ensure full compliance with international environmental standards.

In addition, we are actively establishing partnerships with renewable energy suppliers to jointly support the construction of global pure electric vehicle infrastructure. By promoting clean energy charging stations and investing in renewable energy projects, we encourage more people to choose pure electric vehicles, thereby contributing to reducing environmental pollution.

More importantly, GAC Group actively responds to the concept of green development, promotes the "GLASS" plan, and is committed to building a full industrial chain of environmentally friendly manufacturing and sustainable development, comprehensively reducing the carbon footprint from product design, production to recycling, and achieving green and low-carbon transformation. We will flexibly respond to market changes and consumer demand, continue to expand our pure electric vehicle product line, seize the huge potential of the Hong Kong market, help promote the transformation of local green travel, and work together to create a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Consumer-Centric Approach to EV Design

Although technological innovation and environmental protection concepts are the two pillars of our pure electric vehicle strategy, the ultimate measure of our service effectiveness is still customer satisfaction. GAC Group is committed to providing an excellent user experience, putting comfort, convenience and intelligent connectivity at the core of its design. Users can personally feel our delicate care for drivers and passengers, including ergonomic interior design, spacious and comfortable cabin space, easy-to-operate infotainment system, and seamless integration of smart devices.

In order to meet the diverse needs of different users, we provide a wealth of customization options, covering exterior colors, interior materials, performance kits and technological equipment, ensuring that each GAC car can show the owner's unique lifestyle and personality.

In addition, we firmly believe that the advantages of pure electric vehicles should not only belong to the luxury enjoyment of a few people, so we have launched highly competitive prices and diversified financial solutions to allow more people to easily realize their dream of owning GAC pure electric vehicles. Combining cutting-edge technology, thoughtful design and affordable prices, we are committed to accelerating the popularization of pure electric vehicles in the Hong Kong market and promoting the future of green travel.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

The future of fully electric vehicles is exciting, but it also faces many challenges. Taking Hong Kong as an example, the government has actively promoted the popularization of electric vehicles in recent years. The proportion of newly registered electric private cars has rapidly climbed from about 20% in 2022 to about 70%, and the growth rate ranks among the highest in the world. ^[1] However, the growth rate of charging infrastructure has not fully kept up with the surge in the number of vehicles. Especially during peak hours, public charging stations are often in short supply, which has become a bottleneck of common concern among users.

In addition, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and major brands in the world regard Hong Kong as an important market. Therefore, many electric car brands in HK are scrambling to launch new electric vehicles to seize this fast-growing market.

These challenges are also opportunities. As the Hong Kong government continues to promote the "Blueprint for the Popularization of Electric Vehicles in Hong Kong", actively subsidizes private residential and commercial buildings to add charging facilities, and plans to significantly expand the charging network by 2025, charging problems are expected to alleviate gradually. ^[2] GAC Group will flexibly respond to market changes and consumer demand, continue to expand its pure electric vehicle product line, seize the huge potential of the Hong Kong market, and help promote the transformation of local green travel.

Create the Future with GAC Group

At GAC Hong Kong, we are not only manufacturing cars, but also shaping the future of pure electric mobility. We will continue to break through technological limits, adhere to the concept of sustainable development, and take users as the cornerstone of our strategy. We are deeply proud of the progress we have made in leading the next generation of pure electric vehicles and are full of confidence and expectations for the future. We sincerely invite you to come for a test drive and jointly move towards a new era of cleaner, smarter and more electric cars.
