Shanghai (Gasgoo)- GAC Group announced that its 78th Board of Directors meeting approved the establishment of the GH Project Company (provisional name), with a registered capital of 1.5 billion yuan. Under the project, the duo is set to launch a new automobile brand, marking a significant step forward between them.

GAC Group's General Manager Mr. Feng Xingya shared the project's latest progress, revealing that Huawei's Intelligent Automotive Solution (IAS) Business Unit (BU) and GAC Group have already begun joint office operations, aiming to introduce a series of intelligent new vehicles. The first model is set to debut as a premium intelligent new energy vehicle (NEV) in the 300,000-yuan price range.

Previously, Mr. Feng emphasized that the cooperation between the two companies is a full-stack partnership, spanning product definition and development, vehicle manufacturing, sales services, and user ecosystem.

The GH project company signifies a deep integration of GAC Group's and Huawei's respective strengths, focusing on joint product definition and design. The duo will collaborate on product development, marketing strategies, and ecosystem services to create a new automotive brand built on cutting-edge technologies and an entirely new architecture.

In addition to working with Huawei, GAC Group continues to advance internal corporate transformations. The group has launched the IPD (integrated product development) and digital transformation project. With the IPD process, the group aims to focus its resources on key user priorities, establishing a new benchmark for demand management.

GAC Group also released the three-year "Panyu Action", aiming to achieve 60% of sales contributed by its wholly-owned brands and strive to sell two million vehicles under those brands by 2027.

Over the next three years, GAC Group plans to launch 22 new models under its self-owned brands, covering all mainstream new energy powertrains such as BEV (battery electric vehicle), REEV (rang extended electric vehicle), and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle).

[Two Mandatory EV National Standards Take Effect Tomorrow: Batteries Must Not Catch Fire or Explode]

On July 1, two mandatory national standards—"Safety Requirements for Traction Batteries of Electric Vehicles" (GB 38031-2025) and "Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicles" (GB 18384-2025)—will officially come into force. This marks the first time in China's new energy vehicle sector that both battery‑specific and vehicle‑level core safety standards take effect on the same day. The new battery standard establishes "no fire, no explosion" as a mandatory requirement, replacing the previous technical threshold of "providing an alarm signal 5 minutes before fire or explosion." The updated standard also adds tests including bottom impact testing and safety testing after fast‑charging cycles. The vehicle standard requires the installation of an independent physical one‑button emergency power‑off device. The two standards will be implemented in phases: all newly applied vehicle models submitted after July 1 must fully comply with the new rules, while models already approved and on sale are granted a one‑year transition period until full compliance is required by July 2027. Industry players across the supply chain have already entered the final stages of certification review and production‑line retrofitting.
