HONG KONG, Aug. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GAC hit a new milestone by entering Hong Kong's EV Top 3 for the first time in July, selling 303 units with 236 registrations. This achievement underscores the effective execution of GAC's "One GAC 2.0" global strategy, particularly after launching the "Hong Kong ACTION" in June, which drove breakthrough results within two months.
As a "lighthouse market" for Chinese auto exports, Hong Kong's breakthrough is highly symbolic. GAC sees Hong Kong as the "bridgehead" of its globalization strategy, with its rise to the Top 3 marking both a sales milestone and recognition of its product, brand, and system strengths.
Globally, GAC has built benchmark markets, creating a "lighthouse effect" that drives growth in Southeast Asia's right-hand-drive regions. In June, it ranked fourth in Singapore's EV market and second among Chinese brands. In Thailand, GAC held third place in H1, with the AION UT setting a record of 1,000 deliveries in 39 days. GAC also excelled in the fuel vehicle market: from January to May, it ranked third overall in Kuwait, with the GS8 second in the mid-to-large SUV segment; in Lebanon, the EMZOOM led the A0-class SUV rankings; in Egypt, the EMPOW held a 25.6% segment share; and in Bolivia, GAC topped Chinese brand sales in July.
GAC's deep localization strategy, "In Local, For Local," supports these achievements. In June, its Indonesian smart factory started production with a 50,000-unit capacity. At the same time, Thailand opened a flagship experience and battery service center, enabling dual-track "sales + energy services." From January to July 2025, GAC INTERNATIONAL's wholesale volume grew 45% year-on-year, and retail sales rose 64%, demonstrating the strength of its systematic global expansion.
Feng Xingya, Chairman and President of GAC Group, emphasized the company's focus on four pillars: Quality, Technology, Service, and Ecosystem Globalization. Leveraging systematic competitiveness, GAC aims to build a high-quality global expansion path defined by "winning through systems." With successes in benchmark markets like Hong Kong, GAC is accelerating toward its goal of entering 100 countries and regions, and exporting 500,000 vehicles annually, leading the global automotive ecosystem and setting a new standard for Chinese automakers' globalization.

Among Hong Kong's Top 3 EVs -- High-Quality Global Expansion Built on System Strength
CHANGSHA, China, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; 1157.HK) is driving a new wave of intelligent transformation by integrating AI with construction machinery, the industrial internet, big data, and cloud computing. Its full-chain AI system spans smart products, manufacturing, management, and embodied-intelligence robotics, reshaping the company into a fully digital and intelligent enterprise. Zoomlion is also scaling humanoid robotics as its "third growth curve," backed by proprietary hardware-software integration capabilities.
Zoomlion's full-chain AI application system covers four major pillars, namely, AI plus construction machinery, AI plus intelligent manufacturing, AI plus intelligent management, and AI plus embodied-intelligence robots. At Zoomlion Smart City, 12 smart factories and over 300 smart production lines, including 20 lights-out lines, operate as an end-to-end intelligent manufacturing system. In the AI plus intelligent manufacturing domain, processes such as cutting, welding, machining, painting, and assembly are fully connected to the industrial internet platform. This allows unified management of over 100,000 material types and intelligent manufacturing of over 400 products.
AI-driven scheduling and optimization enable the park to produce an excavator every six minutes, a scissor lift every 7.5 minutes, a concrete pump truck every 27 minutes, and a truck crane every 18 minutes, marking a breakthrough in large-scale, multi-variety, small-batch agile manufacturing. Zoomlion also applies AI across R&D, production, sales, service, and supply chain management. For customer service, the Company has launched a voice-based AI expert diagnostic system with over 95 percent accuracy, enabling remote fault identification, rapid troubleshooting, and 24-hour technical support.
Since 2024, Zoomlion has expanded into embodied-intelligence humanoid robotics, leveraging its full-stack self-development capabilities. Dozens of humanoid robots are now deployed in factory logistics, loading and unloading, pre-assembly, and quality inspection, forming early productivity use cases. Supported by a self-built training ground with over 100 workstations and large-scale industrial datasets, Zoomlion enables rapid iteration of human-robot collaboration. All humanoid and industrial robots are connected to the Zhongke Yungu Embodied Intelligence Platform, which integrates data, training, simulation, and OTA deployment into a closed loop, powered by a national supercomputing center with 59P GPU computing capacity and tens of thousands of distributed nodes.
Beyond humanoid robotics, Zoomlion is developing a wider range of specialized robots for firefighting, mowing, construction, and agriculture. With deep integration across hardware, AI models, and real-world scenarios, the company is positioning embodied intelligence as its next major growth engine.
