GAC Motor, under Astara Philippines, celebrated several business milestones during the first half of 2024. Highlights included a record increase in sales volume for the first half of 2024, the introduction of additional models in the next six months, and the expansion of its dealer network.
“Our GAC Motor Philippines team has shown unstoppable momentum as we continue to achieve new milestones and break new ground across the country. We are immensely grateful for the warm support of new customers and are eager to deliver the outstanding mobility solutions that GAC Motor offers to even more Filipinos,” said Franz Decloedt, Brand Head of GAC Motor Philippines, Astara Philippines.
GAC Motor concluded its June 2024 performance with a record-breaking 351 retail units sold, pushing the total to 1,702 units for the first half of the year. This impressive figure marks a 172 percent growth compared to the same period last year, which saw 625 units sold. Leading this surge is the GS3 Emzoom, which accounts for the majority of the total sales at 64 percent, driven by strong demand since its launch a year ago.
As a result of this record performance, GAC Motor is now ranked 12th overall in local market share as of June year-to-date, making it the third highest-volume Chinese brand, as reported to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Incorporated (CAMPI).
Decloedt added, “Achieving our goal to rank third in prominence by the half-year mark is a testament to our efforts, and we are determined to make 2024 an even more successful year. Leading the charge are our nameplates that have become Filipino favorites, the GS3 Emzoom and M6 Pro, along with our other offerings.”
Set to continue this momentum, Decloedt also announced the launch of six models over the next six months. This strategic move underscores GAC Motor’s commitment to expanding its portfolio and reinforcing its presence in the Philippine market.
“These models we will launch in the second half of 2024 truly embody the brand DNA of GAC Motor and reflect our commitment to excellence and innovation,” said Decloedt. “We aim to provide our customers with a full array of vehicles that seamlessly blend advanced technology with superior craftsmanship, staying true to our new tagline, Where Craft Meets Technology.”
