Over the last two decades, Asia’s largest trade fair for automotive parts, equipment, and service suppliers has become the premier global platform for innovation in the automotive industry.
The trade fair is a launch pad for companies from 39 countries and regions to showcase new product lines and connect with an international audience, mainly from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In turn, attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest industry developments and the evolving Chinese market, led by the rapid growth of new energy vehicles (NEVs).

Exhibits will highlight advancements in NEVs, connectivity, and autonomous driving, as well as traditional automotive technologies.
