GAC Wins Multiple Awards at the "Cross-China Drive" and Launches the First "Triple Assurance Policy" Among Chinese Independent Brands

2025-12-30

On December 28th, the Finals of the 2025 China Digital Automobile Competition and the Award Ceremony of the Digital Cross-China Drive were held in Tianjin. GAC won multiple awards with its outstanding durability and reliable quality in extreme environments. Based on the technical strength and quality confidence verified by the competition, GAC officially announced that its three major independent brands – HYPTEC, GAC, and AION – have jointly launched the "Triple Assurance Policy". This groundbreaking commitment ensures that the manufacturer will take full responsibility for spontaneous combustion in the the battery, motor and electronic control system, excessive battery degradation, and accidents during intelligent parking operations. As the first automaker among China's independent brands to introduce such a "Triple Assurance Policy", GAC has built a comprehensive assurance system for consumers that covers the entire vehicle lifecycle—from purchase and usage to maintenance. This initiative leads the Chinese automotive industry in shifting from price competition to a new era of value-driven protection.

 

01. The First "Triple Assurance Policy" Among Independent Brands Reshapes the User Peace-of-Mind Protection System

In the era of new energy vehicles, while users pay attention to core product capabilities such as range and power performance, they are more concerned about the safety of advanced technologies including the the battery, motor and electronic control system and intelligent driving assistance systems. Many users worry about potential safety risks in the the battery, motor and electronic control system that may cause spontaneous combustion during vehicle use; they are anxious about excessive battery capacity degradation that may affect daily use and vehicle residual value; and they also have concerns about the reliability of intelligent parking assistance systems, which may lead to scratches or collisions in narrow scenarios.

 

Genuine peace of mind comes from manufacturers' willingness to take the initiative to assume responsibility for product quality issues. To this end, the three major independent brands of GAC officially released the "Triple Assurance Policy" service commitment policy to users: the manufacturer shall be liable for spontaneous combustion caused by the battery, motor and electronic control system problems, excessive battery degradation, and intelligent parking accidents. Precisely targeting the three core pain points most concerned by new energy vehicle users, this policy reshapes the user peace-of-mind protection system with clear, direct, and industry-exceeding responsibility commitments:

 

Liability for spontaneous combustion caused by the battery, motor and electronic control system issues: If the vehicle catches fire spontaneously due to quality problems of the the battery, motor and electronic control system (power battery, motor, electronic control) and meets the national motor vehicle scrapping standards, the manufacturer will directly provide a new car with the same configuration or price as compensation, completely eliminating users' concerns about the full-cycle safety of new energy vehicles.

 

Liability for excessive battery degradation: If the power battery capacity degrades beyond the manufacturer's recognized standard due to quality issues, the manufacturer will replace it with a brand-new original battery free of charge. GAC's independent brands have established a unified battery degradation standard: within 2 years or 50,000 kilometers (whichever comes first, the same below), the maximum allowable degradation is 10%; within 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, it is 15%; and within 6 years or 100,000 kilometers, it is 20%. This standard has effectively enhanced users' confidence in the reliability of new energy vehicles under GAC's independent brands.

 

Liability for intelligent parking accidents: When users use the intelligent parking assistance function, if an accident occurs due to the function itself, resulting in maintenance costs that the vehicle should bear in accordance with the law and third-party property losses, the corresponding expenses will be fully covered by the manufacturer, allowing users to experience the convenience brought by intelligent technology with greater peace of mind.

This policy applies to the first non-operational owners of all HYPTEC models, GAC All-New Series/E Series PHEV models, and all AION models who complete vehicle purchase and invoice issuance before December 31, 2026. Among them, HYPTEC requires an annual mileage not exceeding 50,000 kilometers, while GAC and AION require an annual mileage not exceeding 30,000 kilometers.

 

GAC's initiative to raise after-sales service standards and refine service commitments to build an industry-leading user peace-of-mind protection system stems from its 28-year automobile manufacturing heritage and technical strength.

 

02. Tens of Thousands Kilometers of Extreme Verification Demonstrates Quality Confidence

Hosted by the China-SAE and the National Big Data Alliance of New Energy Vehicles, the China Digital Automobile Competition has been successfully held for eight consecutive sessions since its inception in 2018. This year, China Economic Information Service of Xinhua News Agency, in conjunction with the School of Mechanical Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology, fully upgraded the competition and innovatively launched the Digital Cross-China Drive, which participated by more than a dozen mainstream new energy vehicle brands. As the first cross-China drive event in the new energy vehicle sector, this competition was a 30-day-plus extreme long-distance actual test. Starting from Wuqing District, Tianjin, the fleet braved extreme cold of -30℃, crossed high-altitude roads with thin air, endured scorching heat of 50℃ in Turpan, withstood sandstorm attacks on the Taklamakan Desert Highway, and faced comprehensive challenges of complex road conditions such as urban congestion, rugged curves, and gravel bumps. Under the competition system of real-time data collection throughout the journey, every kilometer of this 10,000-mile journey was a tough test of the product's comprehensive strength.

After fierce competition, brands under GAC performed brilliantly and won multiple awards. Among them, HYPTEC HL made its debut with a "full-equipped" configuration, integrating leading features such as GAC ADiMOTION Range Extension System, intelligent digital chassis, and luxury first-class cabin. It gained high recognition for its ultimate driving comfort and intelligent experience, winning the title of "All-Dimensional Immersive Comfort Benchmark". GAC All-New S9 come standard with Huawei ADS 4. Even on icy and snowy roads in the harsh northern cold and low-visibility environments in plateau areas, it can achieve stable following, lane changing, and hazard avoidance operations, making long-distance driving easier and safer, and thus winning the title of "All-Working-Condition ADAS Applicability Benchmark". AION i60, relying on its 1,240-kilometer comprehensive driving range, 15-minute fast-charging replenishment technology, the safety guarantee of the Magazine Battery with zero spontaneous combustion in over 1.3 million installations, along with GAC ADiGO GSD Intelligent Driving Assist, makes travel more efficient, comfortable, and worry-free, winning the award of "Intelligent Energy Efficiency Management Benchmark".
