Motor giant heads to US market

China's GAC Motor said on Monday that the company plans to begin selling vehicles in the United States by the fourth quarter of 2019.

Zhang Fan, vice-president of engineering at GAC, a unit of Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd, said at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, that the model to be sold in the US will probably be one of the company's sport-utility vehicles, or SUVs.

One potential candidate could be the Trumpchi GS7, a midsize SUV that seats five and was unveiled at last year's show. GAC has marketed vehicles under the Trumpchi brand in China since 2010.
