Home to the headwaters of the Yellow, Yangtze and Lancang rivers, the SNNR is China's most important fresh water source and has long been recognized as "a gene bank of rare plateau species." The high-altitude plateau valleys and great natural environment in Sanjiangyuan area have been ideal habitats for rare wildlife species like snow leopard.
GAC Motor's cars working in SNNR include GS8 and GS5 Super SUVs, which have begun their mission in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau under one of the most challenging geographical and climate conditions in the world. With the average altitude of 4,000 meters, the large tracts of ice fields and rough terrain require highly adaptable, durable and all-around cars that can perform consistently all-year-round.
The seven-seat SUV GS8 is a dynamic and robust model celebrated for its adaptability and top class performance. GAC Motor sold a total of 16,423 GS8 SUVs in the first two months of 2017, during which the total sale of cars from all series reached 79,075, marking an 85 percent year-on-year increase for six consecutive years.

Yu Jun, general manager of GAC Motor, expressed that protecting SNNR is about securing the origin of life as well as the future, and as an environmentally aware company that adopts green technologies and continuously lowers fuel consumption and emission, GAC Motor is honored to be part of the first national park conservation plan in China.
"We would like to raise public awareness of ecological importance and fresh water source conservation," said Yu. "By fulling our promise of contributing to the social progress, GAC Motor keeps an active interest in caring for the nature and we would like to bring a better life to the future."
