GAC Group has rolled out its 30‑millionth vehicle.
The milestone was marked by a customer celebration hosted by GAC Middle East in the United Arab Emirates. General Manager Mark Zhang led the event, which featured an existing owner who returned to purchase a second GAC vehicle, underscoring repeat business in the region. The company also selected a UAE customer to attend the official 30 Million Owner’s celebration in Guangzhou, representing the Middle East on the global stage. The event reflects GAC's strategy of engaging owners directly, a practice the group has pursued since its first vehicle launch.
Celebration highlights in the UAE
Attendees gathered at the venue to hear Zhang acknowledge the contribution of Middle Eastern buyers over more than a decade. He noted that the loyalty shown by owners who buy multiple GAC models reflects the trust placed in the brand. The celebration also recognized the partnership with Gargash GAC Motor, which recently opened the country’s largest GAC showroom in Dubai, further cementing the brand’s local presence. The venue, chosen for its capacity to host key customers, allowed the brand to showcase its latest models.
“Reaching 30 million owners is a milestone that belongs to our customers as much as it does to GAC.”
— Mark Zhang, General Manager, GAC Middle East
Zhang’s remarks underscore the company’s focus on after‑sales service, which has been a pillar of its growth in the region.
