On July 15, 2025, GAC held a signing ceremony in London, UK, announcing the signing of a joint venture agreement with Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJ), marking GAC's official entry into the UK market. ALJ will serve as GAC's partner and officially carry out the distribution business of GAC's new energy passenger vehicles in the UK. According to the plan, GAC's two global strategic models, AION V and AION UT, will be the first to enter the UK market.
GAC is one of the leading automobile manufacturers in China, with main businesses covering seven sectors including R&D, complete vehicles, parts, energy and ecology, internationalization, commerce and mobility, investment and finance. It is one of China's largest comprehensive automobile groups. ALJ is a mobility solutions provider, acting as an agent for many world-renowned commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle brands. Previously, GAC had signed an agency distribution agreement with ALJ to introduce its new energy products into the Polish market. The signing of this joint venture cooperation agreement with ALJ for the UK market marks another deepened cooperation between the two parties following their collaboration in the Polish market, further strengthening GAC's strategic layout in Europe.
