HONG KONG, November 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 2, the torch relay of the 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China was launched simultaneously in four cities: Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
At the torch relay ceremony in Hong Kong, Feng Xingya, Chairman of GAC Group, successfully completed the torch relay as the 8th torch bearer. This marks Feng’s return as the torchbearer of a major sporting event after 15 years, having carried the torch for the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010. From the banks of the Pearl River to the banks of Victoria Harbour, Feng Xingya, with the torch as his support, witnessed GAC’s journey from China to the world stage.
As the sole official automotive partner of the 15th National Games and the Paralympic and Special Games, GAC leverages technology to empower sports, providing high-quality and comprehensive service for the torch relay in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region. The entire torch relay process was supported by several GAC models for shuttle services, escort tasks and operational logistics, while cutting-edge technologies such as flying cars, intelligent humanoid embodied robots and L4 high-level autonomous driving were deployed to enhance this nationally significant sporting event jointly organized by the three regions.
During the torch relay in Hong Kong, the E9 PHEV served as the command vehicle, escorting the flame throughout its journey. Leveraging its rich experience in the field of right-hand drive vehicles, GAC also provided customized RHD versions of the E9 PHEV and HYPTEC HT as official service vehicles for the Hong Kong and Macau divisions, supporting the Games with green and low-carbon mobility solutions.
In addition, GAC established the Games Smart Mobility Service Center, operating 24/7, with comprehensive process management and rapid emergency response mechanisms. This ensured the safe and efficient operation of service vehicles and provided a reassuring and comforting experience, fully demonstrating the outstanding guarantee capabilities of Chinese intelligent manufacturing.
From the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games to the 15th National Games in 2025, the venues may have changed, but GAC’s passion and commitment to the nation’s sporting development has remained constant. As the company’s commercial footprint continues to grow, its belief in innovation as a driver of progress remains steadfast.
