Sustainable mobility: A focus on new energy

GAC said it will be launching both a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (Phev) and a fully electric vehicle (EV) in South Africa. These additions reflect the company’s commitment to sustainable driving solutions without compromising on performance, drive or quality.

Expanding access: national dealer growth

With 28 dealerships already in operation and plans to grow to 40 by the end of 2025, GAC is making investments to ensure customers across the country have access to its vehicles, as well as aftersales service and support.

“We’re entering a very exciting phase for GAC Motor in South Africa,” says Brian Smith, marketing director of GAC Motor South Africa.

“The developments planned for 2025 reflect our long-term commitment to the market and to offering South Africans more choice in advanced, reliable mobility.”
