SAIC Motor Appoints New Leaders for Two Core Divisions

[Personnel Changes] SAIC General Motors and SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Company have simultaneously undergone leadership changes, with Xu Ping and Lu Xiao swapping roles.

Key Development: Veteran Technocrats to Lead Both Domestic and Joint Venture Operations

Xu Ping has taken over from Lu Xiao as General Manager of SAIC General Motors, while Lu Xiao moves to become General Manager of SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Company. Both executives have nearly 30 years of experience within the SAIC system and possess a combined background in R&D, international operations, and full-vehicle management.

Strategic Rationale: Breaking Down Divisional Barriers to Enable End-to-End Collaboration

This leadership reshuffle comes at a pivotal moment when SAIC’s domestic brand sales have surpassed 70% of total volume and overall sales continue to recover. It signals a strategic shift from 'reactive gap-filling' to 'proactive offense.' By rotating senior executives across business units, SAIC is accelerating its transformation toward new energy and intelligent mobility, aiming to build an integrated operational ecosystem spanning whole vehicles, components, joint ventures, and domestic brands.
