Highlight 1: GAC's First Flying Car Makes Global Debut
At the 2025 Hong Kong Auto Show, the most eye-catching and undoubtedly the highlight of the event was the global debut of GAC GOVY brand's first mass-produced multi-rotor flying car — the GOVY AirCab. It is not just a concept car, but is already available for pre-order and has entered the airworthiness certification process. With a price tag of no more than 1.68 million RMB, the GOVY AirCab enables Hong Kong residents to truly embrace the “low-altitude economy” era.
Why is GOVY AirCab the center of attention?
- Fast charging: Utilizes a high-density cylindrical battery system, enabling a full charge in 25 minutes (from 50% to 100%).
- Ultra-lightweight body: Over 90% of the body is constructed using aerospace-grade carbon fiber composite materials, achieving an overall weight reduction of over 30%.
- Highly Intelligent Navigation: Equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving (500 TOPS computing power), with a detection range of 300 meters, high-precision positioning to ±0.1°, and obstacle avoidance and cloud monitoring systems.
- Multiple Safety Redundancy Design: Flight control, power, and communication systems are fully redundant; additionally, a flight deck separation mechanism ensures passenger cabin safety even in the event of a system failure.
- Robo-AirTaxi Ecosystem: GOVY is not a lone player. Leveraging GAC's strengths in intelligent connected new energy ground vehicles, it will comprehensively meet users' diverse mobility needs from ground to low-altitude travel in the future:
- Short-distance travel (within 20 km): Through the multi-rotor flying car GOVY AirCab, effectively alleviate urban traffic congestion and connect the “economic islands” within the city.
- Medium-to-short-distance travel (within 200 km): Using the composite-wing flying car GOVY AirJet, it enhances rapid connections between transportation hubs and cities, improving inter-city transportation efficiency.
- Bay Area Vision: Create a “40-minute living circle” in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, achieving fast, safe, and economical three-dimensional inter-city transportation to address the time and cost challenges of traditional travel.

At the 2025 Hong Kong Auto Show, in addition to several models from GAC, AION, and HPYTEC under the GAC Group, the much-anticipated AION UT finally has new updates—it is expected to officially launch by the end of the year! The AION UT is specifically designed to comply with Hong Kong's traffic regulations, offering Hong Kong consumers a stylish and intelligent all-electric mobility option.
Why are Hong Kong residents excited about the AION UT*?

Highlight 3: One-stop Hong Kong-Mainland Vehicle Certification Service
During the 2025 Hong Kong Motor Show, GAC announced the launch of a Hong Kong-Mainland vehicle certification service. With the implementation of the “Hong Kong vehicles heading north” policy, an increasing number of Hong Kong residents are traveling north for consumption. However, the complex procedures and applications required for vehicles heading north often leave owners feeling overwhelmed.
This time, GAC is offering certification processing services for Hong Kong vehicle owners, ensuring that vehicles can legally and seamlessly enter mainland China from Hong Kong without the need for cumbersome procedures. Additionally, enhanced consistency and improved convenience in vehicle usage will encourage more Hong Kong residents to choose GAC's new energy vehicles, thereby promoting the mutual flow of vehicles between the two regions.
GAC and Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a unique and highly challenging market. Hong Kong's traffic regulations, right-hand drive requirements, urban density, consumer attitudes, and media scrutiny are all more stringent. GAC in Hong Kong must not only ensure product stability but also represent brand value, service capability, and product reliability. In this context, GAC officially unveiled its “Hong Kong ACTION” strategy during the auto show, emphasizing the commitment to “in Hong Kong, for Hong Kong.” This strategy aims to meet the needs of Hong Kong's local society and consumers through new energy technology and convenient services, thereby driving future development.
Additionally, Hong Kong serves as a strategic hub for GAC to connect with the international community and showcase innovative technology. As one of the world's freest economies, Hong Kong attracts media, investors, and business decision-makers from around the globe. By participating in the Hong Kong International Auto Show, GAC not only showcases its technology and products locally but also makes its voice heard on the global stage, enhancing its international visibility and establishing brand credibility. As demonstrated by this year's GOVY AirCab flying car choosing Hong Kong for its global debut, this is not merely a showcase of technological breakthroughs but a declaration to the world of Chinese enterprises' ambitions and capabilities in the future mobility sector.
Conclusion
The 2025 Hong Kong Auto Show concluded successfully, with GAC making a strong impression with the global debut of its flying car, the GOVY AirCab, the Hong Kong premiere of its right-hand-drive electric vehicle, the AION UT, and the launch of its cross-border certification one-stop service, all of which brought the event to a spectacular close.
GAC views Hong Kong as a trusted partner, demonstrating its commitment to “in Hong Kong, for Hong Kong” through concrete actions, bringing choices, convenience, and future possibilities!
