Chinese automaker GAC Group has announced its intention to deepen its presence in the European market. This strategic move follows a recently reached consensus between China and the European Union regarding trade in hybrid vehicles, established under their trade and investment consultation mechanism.

The agreement is designed to foster a more stable and predictable environment for the automotive sector. GAC Group stated that the principles confirmed in the talks respect facts and fairness, align with WTO rules, and balance the legitimate rights and interests of all parties. This is expected to mitigate trade friction and ensure the stability of automotive supply chains.

GAC Group expressed its support for the outcome of these negotiations and intends to use the consensus as an opportunity to strengthen its engagement in the European market. The company aims to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with European partners and provide high-quality products and services to consumers.

This expansion aligns with GAC Group's broader strategy of global market penetration and follows similar statements of support from other major Chinese automakers. The consensus on hybrid vehicle trade is seen as a positive step for Chinese car manufacturers seeking to increase their international footprint.
