During the concurrent GAC Tech Day event, the company unveiled several technological advancements, including Xingyuan Powertrain, Xingjian Body, Xinghe Smart Cabin, and Xingling Architecture 4.0. GAC has partnered with 105 ecosystem collaborators to jointly define, develop, and validate nearly 400 chip designs.
The Hyper GT-Climb Edition, the first vehicle featuring a 100% domestically designed chip, will launch in May 2026.
Meanwhile, in ASEAN markets, GAC’s overseas sales more than doubled in February 2026, driven by high demand in Southeast Asia. GAC holds a top share in the Thai electric taxi segment and continues to lead in local EV adoption. In early 2026, the company secured 6,287 orders at the Bangkok International Motor Show.
Strong sales performance is noted in Malaysia and Indonesia, with Southeast Asian countries serving as key drivers of the 86% year-on-year growth recorded for the first two months of 2026. The AION V and other NEV (New Energy Vehicle) models are driving the regional sales growth, particularly in the EV sector.
