Established in 1954, GAC Group has evolved into the fifth-largest automobile manufacturer in China, showcasing its prowess with a remarkable 2.144 million sales in 2021.

As of August 2023, GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Group) boasts a market cap of $13.35 Billion, positioning itself as the world’s 1229th most valuable company by market cap.

Beyond the numbers, GAC Group’s unique identity emerges from its distinctive array of brands, each holding a promise of innovation and quality. Under its banners, GAC Group unleashes vehicles like Trumpchi, Aion, and Hycan. But what truly sets GAC Group apart is its commitment to collaborative excellence, resulting in foreign-branded joint ventures that continue to redefine the automotive landscape.

Partnerships/Joint Ventures

In the realm of GAC Group’s joint ventures, lies a symphony of engineering ingenuity and global partnerships that push the boundaries of possibility. GAC-Toyota, GAC-Honda, and GAC-Mitsubishi stand as shining examples of the success that can arise when exceptional minds unite. These ventures not only bring together leading automakers but also blend diverse expertise, resulting in vehicles that capture hearts and redefine driving experiences.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a testament to GAC Group’s unwavering dedication to the future. Spearheaded by joint ventures and harnessed under its own EV brands, Aion and Hycan, the company takes bold strides toward sustainable transportation. The numbers speak volumes—GAC Group emerged as the fourth largest Chinese plug-in EV manufacturer in 2021, securing a significant 4% market share.

As EV demand surges, GAC Group is steadfastly positioned to meet it head-on. With over 123,660 EV units sold in 2021 and an impressive 20,000 units sold in March 2022 alone, the company’s ambitions soar even higher. By December 2022, GAC Group plans to double its EV production capacity, aiming to manufacture a staggering 400,000 EVs per year.

But GAC Group’s journey is not just about numbers—it’s a tale of history, growth, and transformation. Founded in 1955, the company evolved over decades to become a pivotal player in the automotive realm. Key acquisitions, like the 2011 completion of Changfeng, fortified GAC Group’s standing and catalyzed its rise.

Milestones and achievements

GAC Group’s journey to prominence was marked by significant milestones. 2010 saw the launch of the Trumpchi marque, its inaugural product tracing its roots to the Alfa Romeo 166. In the same year, GAC Group emerged as one of China’s top ten carmakers, an achievement that paved the way for even greater success.

Intriguingly, GAC Group’s narrative is also one of collaboration turned triumph. Joint ventures like GAC Honda and GAC Mitsubishi are not just partnerships on paper—they are living embodiments of innovation. The GAC Toyota venture, established in 2004, is another testament to GAC Group’s commitment to excellence, producing Toyota vehicles tailored for the discerning Chinese market.

GAC Group isn’t just building cars—it’s crafting a legacy, one joint venture at a time.
