Strategic Advancement: “One GAC 2.0” Powers Global Progress
Under the guidance of the “One GAC 2.0” global strategy, GAC is continually deepening its path towards brand unification, local commitment, and worldwide collaboration. As the only Chinese automotive OEM exhibiting at the current Canton Fair, GAC not only presented its robust product lineup and new energy and intelligent connectivity technologies to international visitors, but also demonstrated—through immersive and experiential displays—the brand image of “Top-tier Quality”, “Pioneering Technology” and “Ecosystem Excellence”, committed to becoming a creator of low-carbon, green, and intelligent mobility for a better life.
At the GAC exhibition area, smart mobility took center stage through dedicated vehicle showcases, a VR immersive technology zone, and a planning display for global energy storage solutions. These offerings provided global buyers with an engaging, technology-driven mobility experience. During the event, a steady stream of guests from key markets—including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America—showed keen interest in GAC’s vehicles and innovative energy solutions, with many expressing strong intentions for partnership and reaching preliminary agreements for future cooperation.

Technological Breakthroughs: Synergizing Smart Products and Energy Ecosystems for Global Expansion
At this year’s Canton Fair, GAC showcased three of its latest models equipped with cutting-edge technologies. The newly launched global compact EV, AION UT, is tailored specifically for the Southeast Asian, Australia and New Zealand markets, amassing more than 2,000 pre-orders within just seven days of presales in Thailand. The GAC S7, featuring the ADiGO GSD system, sets a new benchmark with its ultra-long range and advanced intelligent driving capabilities. The HPYTEC HL, with its premium design language and intelligent technologies, underlines the global high-end strength of Chinese brands.
The exhibition also highlighted GAC Integrated PV-Storage-Charging-Swapping Technology, which became a focal point at the show. This innovation reduces charging time to just five minutes. Additionally, GAC’s battery recycling technology converts retired batteries into energy storage units, realizing a full life-cycle closed loop. This comprehensive energy ecosystem not only addresses customer concerns about charging convenience, but also—through system and product synergy—significantly enhances GAC’s competitiveness in global markets.

Cultural Fusion: Cross-Sector Synergy That Conveys Brand Warmth
As an official partner of the 15th National Games and the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games, and the only automotive brand participating in the “138th Canton Fair Music & Cuisine Festival,” GAC has pioneered a cross-sector integration of three major IPs — the Canton Fair, the Food Festival, and the National Games. This innovative blend of gourmet cuisine, sports, and technology not only delivers a unique brand experience but also shares with the world the Lingnan cultural spirit of openness, pragmatism, and innovation.
At the heart of the Food Festival, GAC created an immersive lifestyle space combining smart mobility, Cantonese cuisine, and interactive experiences. By presenting vehicles such as the GAC M8, AION V and AION UT in dynamic, mobile space scenarios, GAC empowered the gourmet experience and transformed these models into “mobile reception rooms,” vividly showcasing new possibilities for human-vehicle life to global visitors.
