GAC's Global Ecosystem Takes Shape as Overseas Sales Nearly Triple in Two Years

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GAC released its 2025 overseas performance report, announcing exports of over 130,000 vehicles, a year‑on‑year increase of 45%. Over the past two years, GAC's international business has achieved leapfrog growth in ecosystem building and sales performance.

In 2023, overseas sales of 45,000 units marked the first breakthrough. In 2024, exports rose to 90,000 units. By the end of 2025, exports exceeded 130,000 units, representing growth of more than 45% year‑on‑year, ranking GAC among the top eight Chinese independent brands by export volume. In two years, GAC's overseas sales have nearly tripled.

Behind this strong momentum lies solid ecosystem‑building capability. As the first state‑owned automaker to go global with its integrated energy ecosystem, GAC has remained committed to "Tech‑Driven GAC, Advancing Global Reach with a Full‑Chain Ecosystem". By leveraging high quality, advanced technology, premium services and a full‑value‑chain ecosystem, GAC is charting a path to global expansion. At the Bangkok International Motor Show in 2025, GAC upgraded its One GAC global strategy to "One GAC 2.0". Centered on one vision, one goal and one brand image, one localized initiative and five key measures, the strategy enables more efficient, precise market deployment and builds a unified global image.

Guided by One GAC 2.0, localized programs such as the "Thailand Action", "Brazil Action" and "Australia Action" have been rolled out. Through five pillars of product, network, service, intelligent manufacturing, energy ecosystem and mobility solutions, GAC builds local market presence and drives sales by being "In Local, For Local, Integrated Locally, Serving Locally, Contributing Locally."

In 2025, GAC launched five new models overseas and entered 16 new markets, including Brazil, Poland, Portugal, Australia and Argentina, expanding to 86 countries and regions. The global network grew by 281 outlets to 630. KD production in Indonesia and Malaysia commenced on schedule, while the Europe KD project is progressing steadily, and five overseas plants are in operation.

Building on this, 2026 will be pivotal for scaling GAC's overseas business in volume and quality. GAC has set an export target of 250,000 units, aiming to create a "second growth curve" following the landmark "Panyu Action" and to become a benchmark for the global expansion of Chinese automotive brands.

GAC's Global Ecosystem Takes Shape as Overseas Sales Nearly Triple in Two Years

SUZHOU, China, Jan. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), an international university located in Suzhou, China, has officially launched its 20th anniversary celebration. The year-long festivities began with a New Year video message from Executive President Professor Youmin Xi. At the same time, the University unveiled its global campaign, "Light Up the World" – an interactive event that brings together digital and real-world experiences to mark this important milestone.

In his address, Professor Xi reflected on two decades of growth and shared his vision for the University's future. "Twenty years ago, we began with a dream. Today, that dream has taken root and taken flight. And tomorrow – driven by your passion and commitment – XJTLU will continue to reshape what a university can be. The best is yet to come," he said. "My hope for 2026 is that XJTLU continues to pioneer education in an increasingly complex and uncertain world. I hope our students grow into not just job-seekers, but problem-solvers and change-makers."

The "Light Up the World" campaign invites students, staff, alumni, and friends of the University to take part in an interactive online lighting map. Participants can light up their current location, generate a personalised anniversary poster, and contribute to a digital constellation of well-wishes from around the globe. Those reaching milestone numbers (such as participant number 2,006 and multiples) will receive exclusive 20th anniversary gifts.

The online activity is also directly tied to a series of offline landmark lighting ceremonies.

From 20 to 22 May, iconic landmarks in four cities worldwide will be illuminated in XJTLU's signature colours, symbolising global connection and celebration. Each location will be revealed based on the progress of online participation – the more the community lights up, the more cities will be unlocked.

To deepen engagement on campus, XJTLU has also installed anniversary-themed photo spots at Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) campus and XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang), inviting visitors to capture their own XJTLU moments.

"Light Up the World" is just the beginning of a year-long calendar of academic forums, cultural events, and alumni reunions. It reflects XJTLU's mission to bridge cultures, inspire innovation, and light the way for the future of global higher education.
