Operations
Growing together,
Since 1997, GM has established a strong presence in China across design, engineering, manufacturing, and sales, which is anchored by our successful JV partnership with SAIC. Through deep localization, we continue advancing at the forefront of global technological transformation.
SAIC-GM
Established in June, 1997 and based in Shanghai, SAIC-GM is a 50-50 joint venture between GM and SAIC that has long established itself as a key leading player in China’s automotive industry.
SAIC-GM produces and sells vehicles under GM’s global brands Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac in China. It has successfully localized GM’s cutting-edge global technologies, including Ultium and Super Cruise™, and deployed its own “in China for China” technologies like the Xiao Yao super architecture that underpins a full range of electrification solutions.
SGMW
Established in November, 2002 and based in Liuzhou, Guangxi Autonomous Region, SAIC-GM-Wuling is a three-way joint venture between SAIC (50.1%), GM (44%), and Guangxi Automobile Group (5.9%), producing and selling vehicles under the homegrown brands Wuling and Baojun.
SAIC-GM-Wuling aims for growth in both passenger and commercial vehicles while elevating its brands and technologies. It holds a remarkable track record of local innovations, including the Wuling Hong Guang MINIEV, the best-selling NEV nameplate of GM in China. A company known for delivering precisely what people need, it continues to meet highly dynamic market needs with speed and can-do spirit.
PATAC
Established in June 1997 and based in Shanghai, Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) is a 50-50 joint venture between GM and SAIC, specialized in automotive design and engineering.
From creating vehicles for production, to reimaging future mobility with concept cars, PATAC has long been an industry leader with vision.
Having invested 10 billion yuan in world-class equipment and facilities since establishment, PATAC has developed comprehensive R&D capabilities and test bases to support its innovation strategy, now focused on electrification, connectivity, intelligence and digitalization.
Driving synergies across global markets
Market-winning products. Invaluable consumer insights. Leading-edge know-hows. China is contributing to GM’s global success in more than one way.
Export
Excellent safety, quality and reliability, plus compelling design and market-leading features. China-sourced products are creating opportunities for GM globally where we see complementary demand.
With more than 20 years of experience and over 100 destinations worldwide, exports from China are playing an increasingly vital role in our global impact. With highly competitive ICE (internal combustion engine) and new energy vehicles sourced from the world’s largest auto market across passenger and commercial segments, we are driving growth across GM’s international business.
