GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

GAC MOTOR's first right-hand drive model — the mass-produced right-hand drive

version GS3 was rolled out in Malaysia on December 28, marking GAC MOTOR's

official entry into the right-hand drive market and setting another milestone

in the group's international business.

In addition, GAC MOTOR's brand showroom located in the center of Kuala Lumpur

has also officially opened. After the showroom is put into operation, WTCA, the

exclusive local distributor of GAC MOTOR, will gradually increase brand

awareness in the local area, maintain customer satisfaction, improve the local

retail network, and take advantage of WTCA parent company Tan Chong Group's

five factories in four countries of ASEAN to accelerate the local production.

In keeping with China's 13th five-year plan, GAC Group's recently announced

"1513" strategy places heavy emphasis on internationalization. The launch of

the first right-hand version GS3 is GAC MOTOR's important implementation of the

"1615" strategy, helping to enhance international business and promote

high-quality development.

Difference in the Detail

The right-hand drive GS3 may look similar, but there are many fine-tuned

differences in the details of this mirror image car, with a total of 130

regulation adjustments being considered.

As well as the obvious change in steering wheel position, all three pedals must

be relocated, shift mechanisms adjusted, parking mechanisms changed, and the

steering and braking systems must be rematched. ESP must be recalibrated, and

the manual gear mount optimized.

The entertainment system of the car has also been upgraded, allowing mobile

phones to be linked easily and quickly, and various electronic safety reminders

have been added and hardware measurements adjusted to comply with local vehicle

safety laws and regulations.

GAC MOTOR is also committed to the pursuit of excellence in aesthetics. To make

the end-product internationalized GS3 as attractive as the original, the front

grille and overall face of the car were painstakingly readjusted for maximum

visual impact.

Global Ambitions

This has been the very first rendering of a GAC MOTOR vehicle into a right-hand

drive model.

As well as a stunning vehicle itself, this exercise has provided a rich

database of product and safety regulation research that will be useful for

future model translation, as well as a tried and tested blueprint for design.

In future, GAC Group looks forward to producing many more internationally

optimized vehicles, bringing the power of Chinese craftsmanship to consumers.
