Since the beginning of this year, GAC has maintained strong growth momentum in Hong Kong SAR. From January to February, its EV sales ranked among the top two Chinese brands and the top three overall.

These concrete results testify to the formidable competitiveness of GAC's "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" and its profound reputation among consumers in the Hong Kong market.
Since launching its "Hong Kong ACTION" plan in 2025, GAC has positioned Hong Kong market as a core hub for right-hand-drive markets and an overseas showcase. It has systematically built a four-in-one capability system covering products, supply, services, and brand.
GAC's leadership in Hong Kong is not an isolated case, but a microcosm of its accelerating global business. In the first four months of 2026, GAC's total overseas exports reached 70,474 units, surging 133.9% year-on-year - leading industry growth and speeding up its internationalization.
Over the past year, GAC has established a strong leading position in multiple key markets: top share in Thailand's electric taxi segment, No.1 Chinese brand in Saudi Arabia, segment champion for the M8 in the UAE… The rest of our key markets are all at the very top as well.
From topping sales in Hong Kong market to thriving across global markets, GAC is moving from "selling cars" to "taking root" overseas, deeply integrating products into local lifestyles and cultures. Going forward, GAC will continue to write a new chapter of high-quality global expansion for "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" in broader markets worldwide.
