The 2026 FAW Bestune Global Partner Conference was held on Feb 4 in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, bringing together more than 1,000 guests.

Liu Yigong, general manager of China FAW Group, delivered a keynote address, affirming FAW Bestune's leapfrog development in 2025.

As a core self-owned passenger vehicle brand under China FAW, FAW Bestune achieved a historic milestone last year, with annual sales surpassing 200,000 units for the first time since its establishment and its new energy vehicle penetration rate reaching 86 percent.

Guided by China FAW's "All in" new energy strategy, FAW Bestune's rapid growth has been driven by systematic breakthroughs across four dimensions: an independently controlled "Yueying" new energy technology platform has been built; in marketing, the brand has shifted toward deep user co-creation; in overseas expansion, it has aligned with the Belt and Road Initiative; and institutionally, it has introduced strategic market-oriented investors, forming a strong ecosystem spanning industry and finance.

FAW Bestune also unveiled its "dual-engine" strategy at the conference, outlining two clear development paths and underscoring its ambition to compete globally and lead in the era of intelligence and electrification.

The event concluded with an awards ceremony honoring long-term partners and outstanding overseas distributors for their contributions over the past year.
