SAIC Motor is expanding its electric vehicle operations across Europe and South America. In Spain, the company plans to establish a manufacturing facility in Ferrol, Galicia, to produce the MG Go, an affordable electric supermini. Production is expected to begin in 2028, initially assembling kits imported from China to mitigate EU import tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. The facility is projected to have an annual capacity of up to 120,000 units.

Simultaneously, SAIC is entering the Brazilian market with the introduction of IM Motors, a premium brand. The brand will utilize existing MG dealership structures to launch high-performance models, such as the IM6 electric SUV.
