Wait for the wind to come, it is better to go with the wind.

In the turbulent era of change, the century-old automobile industry ushered in a "moment of change" alternating between the old and the new. Product functions have been redefined, the industrial structure has been reconstructed, and energy reform measures have been continuously introduced.

Since the beginning of this year, international oil prices have continued to rise, and domestic refined oil prices have ushered in 6 consecutive rises, returning to the "9 yuan era". The increasing cost of travel has allowed the Chinese people to experience for the first time the enormous pressure of the global oil crisis.

At the same time, with the gradual advancement of the "double carbon" goal, many effects are superimposed, which has accelerated the pace of electrification transformation in the automotive industry.

The development of new things is not smooth, but new things will definitely develop. Under the surging wave of carbon neutrality, it is inevitable that the automotive industry will move towards carbon neutrality in the future.

Only by bravely changing in technology, energy, business models, intelligent intelligence, product categories, etc., and giving consumers enough choices, can we help free and voluntary low-carbon travel to be effectively implemented.

As a pioneer in the domestic hybrid market, GAC Toyota brought dual-engine hybrid into the Chinese market as early as 11 years ago, and continued to explore at the forefront of the wave of electrification.

As of 2021, the cumulative sales of dual-engine hybrid models have exceeded 500,000 units, which not only effectively promotes the continuous expansion of the hybrid family, but also helps GAC Toyota lay a solid foundation for development in the critical period of electrification strategy.

Accurate layout and advanced technical support are the ballast stones for GAC Toyota to continuously achieve growth and development. Today, in the face of the gradually upgrading and heating up of the new energy market, GAC Toyota has chosen to keep pace with the times and actively respond to the pace of change.
