GAC and Sinopec Jointly Build the Nation’s First “Energy + Automotive” Integrated Service Station

Gasgoo has learned that GAC Group, together with Sinopec Guangdong Petroleum Branch, recently launched the country’s first integrated “energy + automobile” service station in Suixi, Zhanjiang, Guangdong—the Sinopec Qionghai Gas Station GAC Comprehensive Sales and Service Center. The station has officially begun operations, marking the realization of an integrated model combining energy replenishment and automobile consumption scenarios.

This cooperation has innovatively established an integrated operation model of "gas stations + car sales + maintenance services," filling the market gap for cross-industry automotive services at the county level. Leveraging their respective advantages in station networks, service systems, product matrices, and after-sales capabilities, the station has combined functions such as car viewing, selection, purchasing, maintenance, and refueling to provide users with a one-stop vehicle service experience.

As Sinopec’s first implemented project in the automotive services sector, the site has also become an important node for GAC to deepen its presence in county-level markets and improve its services network in lower-tier markets. Leveraging the natural customer traffic of the gas station, the project adopts a lightweight layout and efficient operating model, reducing the cost of service access while bringing high-quality automotive services closer to county-level consumers.

The site features a car display area and a customer negotiation area, and can provide daily maintenance and quick repair services. Users can complete car viewing and selection while refueling. This cross-industry collaboration not only reflects the trend of upgrading from "single supply" to "people, cars, and life" full-cycle services in the automotive and energy industries, but also provides a referenceable practical path for channel penetration in the industry.

GAC Group stated that it will adhere to the principle of prioritizing quality in the future, strictly controlling the quality of store operations, services, and product supply. Both parties will use the Suixi flagship site as a model to continuously deepen strategic cooperation, explore replicable and promotable new service models in county areas, further improve the layout of lower-tier channels, and expand the coverage of high-quality travel services.
