GAC PAVES WAY TO AUSTRALIAN MARKET ENTRY WITH
AION DEBUT AT MOBILITY LIVE 2024


On October 30, GAC made a debut at MOBILITY LIVE 2024, marking the first
appearance of its AION V electric SUV in Australia and revealing plans to enter
the market in mid-2025. This move underscores GAC's AION commitment to tapping
into Australia’s demand for electric vehicles and establishing its AION and
GAC MOTOR brands in the region. The brand name “AION” combines “AI” and
“ON,” meaning "AI ON THE ROAD”, merging love and intelligence to bring
Australian customers a joyful and intelligent all-electric driving experience.
At Mobility Live Australia 2024, GAC spotlighted the AION V, its flagship
electric model. Known for advanced technology and eco-friendly design, the AION
V fully complies with Australian regulatory standards, paving the way for the
brand’s entry.
Alongside the SUV, GAC introduced two charging solutions: an intelligent home
charger for residential use and the A480 ultra-fast charger for highways and
urban hubs, addressing infrastructure gaps.

Australia as a Strategic Market for GAC’s Global Expansion
With over a million vehicles and growth potential, Australia presents a
lucrative opportunity for GAC AION Y to extend its global reach. GAC’s 2025
entry plans align with Australia's growing EV demand and electrification goals.
The brand is in its preparatory phase, laying groundwork through dealer
recruitment, channel development, and service system establishment. With global
experience in 70 countries and regions, GAC is positioned to overcome logistical
challenges posed by fluctuating global shipping capacities. Supply chain risk
management and real-time delivery monitoring will ensure smooth availability
in Australia.

Positioning for Long-term Success
A sustainable strategy will rely on more than pricing. GAC will focus on brand
value, product innovation, and local market integration, building lasting
relationships with Australian consumers and positioning AION as a household
name.
GAC's brand is rooted in the synergy of technology and craftsmanship, aiming
to deliver not just cars, but a travel experience that genuinely serves
Australian consumers. The company welcomes potential partners who share this
vision to explore cooperation opportunities in the Australian market. As a
leading automaker in China, GAC's global expansion plan positions Australia as
a key market for its international business, laying the foundation for GAC's
long-term growth in the Southern Hemisphere.
