Shehab Gargash noted that the cooperation between the two companies would be further strengthened. GAC Motor has started its global market strategy in Dubai since 2014 with an initial emphasis on the Middle East market.

Since then, it has established mature sales channels in seven countries and regions across the Middle East, especially in Bahrain and Qatar, where GAC Motor has become the No. 1 Chinese automobile brand. The company also set up its North American R&D center in Silicon Valley, which will act as a key growth engine in its international market strategy. The North American R&D center will be responsible for talent cultivation and advanced technology, helping the company to achieve further global outreach. The company plans to enter the North American market no later than 2019, according to Yu. "In the future, GAC Motor will continue to offer automotive experience with enhanced vitality and creativity to its global customers, by carrying forward the brand philosophy of 'innovation, quality and pleasure' and embracing cutting-edge technologies," Yu said.
