English.chinabuses.com:The Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) is a 50-50 joint venture between GM and SAIC.  Established in 1997, it provides automotive engineering services including design, development, testing and validation of components and vehicles. Among its achievements is the reengineering of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SLS and other products for Shanghai GM.  PATAC is participating in Shanghai GM's Drive to Green strategy.

Among the firsts in China for PATAC's vehicle safety lab, the sled impact test lab is the first that is able to carry out front pitch collision testing, which offers results similar to real-world crashes.  In addition, the sub-system safety test lab is the first in China to include a complete pedestrian protection module, while the vehicle safety lab can conduct front, side and rear-end collisions, thereby addressing the testing requirements of major vehicle safety laws and regulations around the world.
