Visitors flocked to concept vehicles featuring solar-panel roofs and autonomous driving capabilities, reflecting China's push toward sustainable transportation solutions.
Industry analysts note that the event serves as a critical platform for cross-border collaborations, with several European and Asian automakers announcing partnerships with Chinese battery manufacturers. The show's 'Future Mobility Pavilion' drew particular attention for its demonstration of vehicle-to-grid energy-sharing prototypes.
Residents of Taiwan and other regions joined international delegates in exploring interactive VR simulations of urban transport networks, underscoring the event's role in fostering technological exchange. With 40% of exhibition space dedicated to NEVs, the auto show reinforces China's position as both a market leader and innovation hub in green automotive technologies.
