The brand was awarded consecutive Gold Awards for being the Outstanding Distributor of the Year 2024 and having the Outstanding Sales Department of 2024. These honors underscore the brand’s impressive growth, robust sales performance, and steadfast dedication to top-notch customer service.
GAC Motor International has expanded its presence across 72 countries and regions worldwide, achieving a 97% increase in global retail performance, with the Asian market driving significant growth. The Philippines stood out as a key market, recording 3,207 unit sales in 2024, marking a 65% year-on-year growth. This strong performance reflects the increasing demand for GAC Motor’s vehicles in the country.
At the 2025 GAC International Partner Conference, GAC Motor Philippines was recognized for its dealership network expansion, which grew from six dealerships in 2022 to 20 in 2023, and 32 in 2024, marking the fastest dealership growth within the global GAC network.
