Overview
- GAC said production in Mexico will begin in the second half of 2026, with July as the target start.
- Assembling in Mexico would allow the company to avoid the 50% tariff the United States applies to cars shipped from China.
- The first phase will use a flexible line that can build gasoline, hybrid, plug‑in hybrid, and electric models across sedans, SUVs, pickups, and crossovers.
- The company has not disclosed the plant’s location or investment amount, and it has not confirmed any partnerships, despite reports of talks on local supply with Stellantis and interest in idle sites.
- The project is part of the One GAC 2.0 expansion, which aims to grow in 100 countries with an “in Mexico for Mexico” approach focused on local sourcing, tech development, and a stronger Latin America footprint.
