On the product front, three key models destined for global markets – GAC YUE7, AION i60, and AION N60 – took center stage, attracting swarms of overseas visitors, media, and guests who stopped to take in the display, giving the event a truly international flair. In the past two years, GAC’s overseas business has shown strong, rapid growth. Overseas sales climbed from 45,000 units in 2023 to over 130,000 units last year – nearly a threefold increase, ranking among the fastest growth rates among Chinese auto exporters. Entering 2026, the momentum has accelerated further: overseas sales in the first quarter increased by 86% year-on-year, and GAC’s global overseas user base has officially surpassed 400,000. Currently, GAC International’s business covers 102 countries and regions across five continents, with more than 680 sales and service outlets, five overseas production bases, and nine overseas regional parts distribution centers worldwide. It has completed its strategic transformation from early product trade exports to deep local operations, gradually building global operational capabilities covering the full value chain of R&D, production, supply, and sales. From "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" to "Globally Trusted," GAC is accelerating its integration into the new landscape of the global auto industry with strategic determination, solid technological foundations, and deep local deployment. Just before the launch event, GAC International held its 2026 GAC International Partner Conference in Guangzhou, where over 700 distributors and partners from 87 countries and regions gathered under the theme "Driving Forward, Wining Together" to discuss global collaboration. --- | This article was produced by Cision PR Newswire, our trusted news partner.
