Mr. Ding Zhiwei, Regional Sales Director of GAC Aion Southeast Asia shared in his speech, “Aion is a world-class intelligent electric vehicle company created by the GAC Group, a Fortune 500 company, and a key driver of the group’s transformation towards electrification, intelligence, connectivity, and shared mobility. It ranks among the top three global new energy vehicle manufacturers. In 2023, we achieved a total sales volume of 480,000 vehicles, reflecting a 77 percent year-over-year growth, and set a new world record by surpassing one million cumulative production and sales units in just four years and eight months.

“GAC Aion is committed to technological innovation and is the first automaker globally to achieve full-stack self-research in EV and ICV technologies. We have pioneered several ‘firsts, leading, and exclusive’ core technologies, including a world-leading dedicated electric platform, a bullet-proof magazine battery that does not catch fire, the high-power-density Quark electric drive, and the Star Spirit architecture that supports L4 autonomous driving. Additionally, we have built a self-researched supply chain for batteries, electric drives, and energy, making us one of the few automakers in the world with a complete industry chain.

“GAC Aion is accelerating its global expansion strategy and has already entered markets in nine ASEAN countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Cambodia. In the future, we will establish seven global production and sales bases across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. The Philippines, as the fourth-largest automotive market in ASEAN, has a large population and immense potential. From January to June this year, the passenger car market here achieved a 17.8 percent year-on-year growth despite challenging circumstances. Additionally, the Philippine government has launched the ‘National Electric Vehicle Development Roadmap’ to encourage and support new energy development, giving us great confidence and anticipation for the Philippine market.

“The Aion Y Plus, known for its spacious design, long range, and sleek look, reflects GAC Aion’s commitment to delivering high-end, innovative new energy vehicles. The brand aims to contribute to the local EV industry’s development and offer Filipino consumers top-tier, sustainable transportation solutions.”
