GAC Motor Reveals Key Information at the Opening Media Communication Meeting in 2021 on March 3rd
On March 3, 2021, GAC Motor held its opening media communication meeting and announced two important pieces of information:
- In terms of production capacity, the annual production could reach 50,000 vehicles with a single shift, and 100,000 vehicles with double shifts. The expected delivery time is still May this year, as previously planned.
- The layout of GAC’s sales network is also rapidly developing. The first batch of 10 GAC centers located in seven major first-tier cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Wuhan, are scheduled to open first. The company expects to reach 50 centers by mid-year, and more than 100 centers including delivery service centers in 17 cities by the end of the year.
In addition, GAC also shared details about its first model, the HiPhi X:
- Surpassing ordinary luxury cars (usually six layers), and on par with Porsche’s eight-layer paint, GAC’s car has a laminated paint of eight layers, 100% auto-sprayed using the latest generation of robots developed by Dürr, Germany. Clients can change the color via the APP before the middle coat is sprayed.
- The body stiffness of HiPhi X is superior to Tesla’s Model X.
- Based on autonomous V2X (Vehicle to Everything) driving technology developed in-house, the vehicle can drive automatically to the designated shipping area without a driver after being offline from the production line. It can also be used in intelligent parking scenarios, including AVP (Automated Valet Parking) and unmanned parking and retrieval.
Finally, GAC revealed that it will soon open a reservation program limited to 3,000 people for test-driving its new models.
