By adopting circular economy principles, BAIC ensures materials are reused, waste is minimised, and every step forward is a step towards a more sustainable world.

BAIC’s commitment to South Africa goes far beyond the vehicles they produce. Their Pretoria manufacturing facility is proof of how serious they are about making a difference.
