GAC Group Marks 14th Year on Fortune Global 500 Amid Export Surge
With 121,483 vehicles exported in the first half of 2026, a 132% year-on-year increase, GAC Group has secured its spot on the Fortune Global 500 for the 14th consecutive year, underscoring its transition from a domestic manufacturer to a major international automotive force.
The company reached a production milestone on July 16, producing its 30 millionth vehicle just 29 years after its founding. This rapid output, characterized by the company as "GAC Speed," signals a broader shift within the Chinese automotive sector toward value-driven manufacturing and intelligent vehicle transformation.
Global operations now span more than 110 countries and regions, supported by 746 service outlets and 7 manufacturing plants abroad. Recent expansion into the UK and Spain, alongside the start of production at the Graz plant in Austria, highlights a push toward localized assembly. Regional performance remains strong, with notable electric vehicle market share gains in Thailand and Hong Kong, plus triple-digit growth across several Middle Eastern and African markets. To date, the company has exported over 540,000 vehicles worldwide.
