GAC International Philippines, Inc. successfully convened its nationwide dealer network for the 2026 GAC Philippines Dealer Conference, held under the theme “Building Success Together as ONE GAC.” The event marked the first official dealer gathering organized under GAC’s direct, self-operated presence in the country, signaling a new chapter for the brand in the Philippine market.

Following the establishment of GAC International Philippines, Inc. as a wholly owned local subsidiary managed directly by GAC headquarters, the company is now positioned to deliver faster parts availability, more efficient aftersales support, and closer coordination across its dealer network. Anchored on the ONE GAC philosophy—One Brand, One Channel, One Service—the conference served as a platform to align strategies, ensuring consistent standards across sales, service, and overall customer experience nationwide.
Dealer principals and representatives from Metro Manila, North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao participated in a formal dealer agreement signing ceremony, underscoring strong market confidence in GAC’s direction and long-term investments in the Philippines. “The change to self-operation shows our strong confidence in the local market. It also means we will invest more resources, strengthen the local team, and fully support all partners for win-win growth,” said Steven Wang, Senior Vice President of GAC International.




During the conference, GAC Philippines also provided dealers with an exclusive preview of its expanded 2026 product lineup, reflecting a versatile and customer-focused mobility strategy. Highlights included the upcoming GAC GS8 HEV—including a GS8 HEV Limited Edition positioned as a new benchmark in hybrid luxury—alongside the AION UT, HYPTEC HT, AION V, AION Y Plus, GAC E8, and GAC GN8 PHEV, spanning internal combustion, hybrid, and full electric solutions for the evolving Philippine market.
