This strategic partnership aims to revolutionize the automotive industry by combining GAC's innovative electric vehicle technology with Magna's renowned manufacturing expertise. The collaboration is set to make a significant impact on the European market, offering locally assembled electric vehicles that embody GAC's commitment to smart technology, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
The AION V, GAC's electric SUV, has already made its mark with a five-star Euro NCAP rating.

Magna's President, Roland Prettner, adds, 'Our partnership with GAC showcases the trust automakers place in Magna's capabilities. Our Graz facility, known for its operational excellence, provides the flexibility and capacity to efficiently localize production for OEMs like GAC.'
The AION V's success in Finland, Poland, and Portugal is just the beginning. GAC plans to expand its European footprint through new partnerships, service networks, and sales channels, solidifying its position as a leading electric vehicle brand in the region.
With Magna's 125 years of manufacturing expertise and 40+ vehicle models developed, the partnership brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. The Graz facility's ability to produce internal combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles on shared lines further demonstrates Magna's commitment to innovation and adaptability.
