CDN_Fan Zhang_CDR6_1920

From Car Design Review 6, comes our interview with GAC VP and head of design, Fan Zhang.

GAC Design has undergone a big expansion in the last two to three years, especially globally, setting up the Los Angeles studio and then the Shanghai studio. Also, we have hired a lot of experienced international designers to strengthen the core competence.
