Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On Oct. 26 (local time), GAC Group inaugurated in Italy the GAC R&D Center Europe and GAC Advanced Design Milan, as part of efforts to further promote the auto giant's overseas business strategy. 

Located in Via Tortona 16, Milan, Italy, the newly-launched design studio covers a total floor area of over 470 square meters. In the earlier stage after its business opening, the GAC Advanced Design Milan will focus on the early-phase interior and exterior concept design and development of mass-produced models, and the research of forward-looking subjects, with Europe's local automobile culture taken into account and its European team's extensive experience of mass-produced model development to be leveraged. Later on, it will expand its R&D works to other cutting-edge technology fields depending on its development requirements.
