On July 24, 2026, the equipment industry department of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) conducted on-site supervisory inspections at GAC Aion and Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) plants to assess their product safety assurance capabilities and production consistency.
Inspectors randomly selected sample vehicles and power batteries on-site and sent them for testing to verify compliance with national standards.
The inspections came just a week after MIIT held a meeting with key automakers urging them to firmly resist irrational competition, signaling that the regulator is moving quickly to implement the vehicle quality and safety checks it outlined a week earlier.
