GAC Motor is now operating in 14 countries and regions, and multiple-acclaimed elite vehicle models like the GS4 and GS8 have been released globally. The company plans to reach 18 countries by the end of 2018 with 4 new models, including the GS3, GS7, GA4 and GM8 to be launched into the overseas market.
Regional offices will be set up in the Middle East, Africa, South America and other regions when appropriate in order to better support the business development with local distributors. A subsidiary in Russia will soon start operation as well, further reaching out to the Eastern European market.
In addition to ramping up product development and expanding the rage of vehicles that it offers, GAC Motor is actively presenting its technologies and high quality, trendsetting products at renowned international auto shows.
