GUANGZHOU, China, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 16, at the roll-off ceremony for GAC’s 30-millionth vehicle, Feng Xingya, Chairman of GAC Group, handed over the key to the right-hand-drive GAC M8 PHEV (named GN8 overseas) to Tony Jaa. The milestone vehicle is headed straight for overseas markets.

Thai action superstar Tony Jaa’s choice reflects the trust of 30 million customers worldwide. That trust is built not on showmanship, but on GAC’s solid manufacturing “true craftsmanship.”

From Guangzhou to the world, there are no shortcuts – quality speaks for itself. While the industry runs standard “three-high” tests, GAC pushes further with “five-high, one-mountain, one-dust” extreme vehicle trials. New models undergo at least “two winters and one summer” of validation – a minimum 18 months of real-world road testing, covering 12 major categories and over 1,500 sub-items across wind tunnel labs and proving grounds.

For each overseas market, GAC conducts additional adaptive testing for local climate and road conditions – from Middle Eastern desert heat to Southeast Asia’s humidity and heavy rains.

Quality consistency starts at the smart manufacturing front. GAC’s AION Intelligent Eco-Plant is the world’s first “Lighthouse Factory” for new energy vehicles, featuring full-process digital quality monitoring. Automated robots with AI vision systems deliver millisecond response and millimeter-level precision – ensuring uniform quality whether vehicles roll off lines in Guangzhou or overseas plants.

Safety comes first. GAC’s magazine battery has been deployed in 1.5 million vehicles, accumulating over 160 billion kilometers of safe driving. The Starlink Safety Protection System serves nearly 2 million users, preventing 6.28 million potential incidents.

With this commitment to quality and safety, GAC has established a presence in 110 countries and won the trust of 30 million users. Standing at this new milestone, GAC will continue to refine its craftsmanship and deliver worry-free, high-quality mobility experiences to every customer worldwide.

Alisira OÜ has published a set of findings examining why so many marketing dashboards continue to fail to surface the numbers that actually shape decisions. The review looks at the gap between the volume of data modern platforms can collect and the amount that actually gets used when a marketing team sits down to figure out what is supposed to happen next.

TALLINN, Estonia, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A Widening Gap Between Data Collection and Decision-Making

What there is often a shortage of, according to Alisira, is a dashboard that actually connects the numbers it displays to a decision someone in the room is genuinely trying to make. That distinction is where most measurement setups tend to fall apart quietly. A dashboard can be full of activity metrics, things like impressions, click volume, and session counts, without ever getting around to answering the question a budget owner is really asking. That question is usually some version of whether a given effort is working and whether more resources should be put behind it. Engagement is easy to display. Revenue contribution by channel takes more work to calculate correctly, particularly once multiple touchpoints and delayed purchases are involved, so it is the piece that tends to be most often left out of the weekly report. However, it is also the piece that leadership actually cares about when the conversation turns serious.

Where Standard Dashboards Fall Short

Alisira’s review identifies several categories of metrics that tend to be underrepresented on standard marketing dashboards, even in cases where the underlying data would in principle be accessible:

Cross-channel attribution, as opposed to last-click or single-platform creditCustomer lifetime value by acquisition source, rather than only first-purchase conversion ratesTime-to-conversion, which is frequently collapsed into a single count with no indication of the lag that is actually involvedAssisted conversions, where a channel contributed to a sale without being the final touchpointCohort-based retention figures, in place of a single blended retention % that has a tendency to hide which groups are actually staying and which are quietly leaving

Part of the difficulty is traceable back to how fragmented most measurement setups tend to be in the first place. Only 32% of marketers globally measure their media spending across both digital and traditional channels, according to Nielsen, which leaves the majority of teams working from a partial view before the dashboard-design questions have even come into play. Alisira’s findings suggest this is less a tooling problem than it is a structural one. What most organizations lack, more often than not, is a single point in the workflow where channel-level data is reconciled before it reaches a decision-maker in a usable form.

Alisira OÜ frames these findings as part of a broader shift away from dashboards built to display everything a platform can track, toward dashboards built around a smaller, more deliberate set of numbers tied to what a team actually decides to do next. The company plans to continue publishing analysis on measurement practices and marketing reporting in the months ahead.
