On June 22, GAC’s Aion brand held a launch conference in Jakarta, Indonesia, officially launching its Indonesia strategy. At the conference, the Aion Y Plus officially entered the Indonesian market, offering two trims, namely, Exclusive (410 km range) and Premium (490 km range), with a price range of 415,000,000 – 475,000,000 IDR (25,200 – 28,900 USD).
GAC Aion indicated that Indonesia is the largest automobile market in Southeast Asia. At the same time, in launching its Indonesian strategy, GAC Aion chose to cooperate with the local dealer group Indomobil to jointly establish a localized R&D, production, and sales system.
Furthermore, as part of its globalization strategy, GAC Aion has entered the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) markets including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Cambodia. In the future, it plans to build seven global production and sales bases in Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East as well as deploy into 19 countries and regions around the world.
In July this year, GAC Aion’s Thailand factory is expected to begin operation. In addition to the Thailand factory, GAC Aion’s second overseas factory is also under construction, which is located in Indonesia.
