Among the car companies with state-owned enterprise background, no matter what they do, they feel a step behind, and the same is true for going overseas, but GAC is not the slowest. 

Aion has been hovering in Southeast Asia on behalf of GAC New Energy Vehicles going overseas. Will there be any new changes in 2025? 

In 2023, the first batch of 100 AION Y Plus models of GAC Aion will go overseas.
