It is of great significance for implementing the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on developing advanced manufacturing, promoting the intelligent, green, and integrated development of the automotive industry, strengthening and expanding the sector, and fostering new quality productive forces.

Focusing on the Development Pathways and Prospects of the Automotive Industry

With the theme “New-Quality Vehicles and Future Smart Mobility” the exhibition aims to implement national strategic plans for fostering new quality productive forces and developing intelligent connected and new energy vehicles, as well as smart transportation. It will showcase the profound transformation of the automotive industry, help strengthen and improve industrial and supply chains, deepen collaboration among industry, academia, and research institutions, and accelerate the commercialization of technologies such as intelligent connectivity, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-grid.

Leveraging Beijing’s comprehensive strengths as nation’s capital, particularly its concentration of scientific innovation and its status as a major consumer hub, the exhibition will promote the application of more cutting-edge technologies and innovations. It will also facilitate deeper integration of industrial, supply, and innovation chains across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, encourage consumption upgrades and shifts in public mobility concepts, and promote a transition toward more efficient, green, and shared mobility, thereby helping expand domestic demand.

AUTO CHINA 2027 • Mobility will convene global industry resources and extend the boundaries of automotive exhibitions along two dimensions: upstream toward manufacturing, and forward into cutting-edge future mobility fields. The exhibition will highlight breakthrough technologies and products born from the global automotive transformation, alongside the evolving intelligent mobility ecosystem. It will cover automotive manufacturing engineering, smart production lines, intelligent mobility solutions, frontier technologies, supporting service systems and automotive culture.

By illustrating the evolution of vehicles into intelligent mobile terminals and digital living spaces, the exhibition will embrace a new mission of cross-sector industrial integration. It provides a targeted, efficient platform for product displays, technical exchanges, and business matchmaking. This represents a forward-looking response to the profound changes shaping the global automotive industry.

Helping Enterprises Gain a Marketing Advantage

The organizing committee will introduce a series of innovative measures to further enhance the exhibition’s effectiveness. Building on its core functions—including new product premieres, technology showcases, business matching, industry forums, brand communication—the exhibition will also promote the commercialization of industry-university-research outcomes, support automakers’ global expansion, and foster automotive culture.

The exhibition will organize discussions on key industry topics, including the transition to electrification, intelligent connectivity, and the international footprint of China’s automotive industry. In coordination with relevant industry authorities, it will also host on-site activities such as policy briefings, consultations on policy proposals, and standards interpretation sessions. By encouraging the debut of new models and technologies at the exhibition and leveraging Beijing’s concentration of domestic media headquarters and overseas media organizations based in China, the event will help enterprises achieve distinctive marketing and communication advantages.

Presenting a Comprehensive Vision of Smart Mobility

The exhibition will expand its New Energy Vehicles and Intelligent Connected Vehicles sectors while developing emerging areas such as smart mobility services, new energy transportation solutions, and intelligent robots. Through an integrated presentation of vehicles, core components, frontier technologies, and real-world scenario demonstrations, it will offer a vivid picture of the automotive industry’s transformation toward intelligent, green, and integrated development.

Dedicated exhibition areas for smart factories, digital production lines, and automotive manufacturing engineering will be introduced, focusing on the entire intelligent manufacturing process for vehicles and core components. These areas will showcase the industry's progress in advanced manufacturing, intelligent upgrading, and improvements in quality and efficiency.

Centered on the “AI + Automotive” innovation ecosystem,  the exhibition will bring together innovative achievements and cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence across the entire automotive industry chain, providing a systematic overview of future development pathways and innovation in the automotive sector.

The exhibition will also feature motorsports, vintage and classic cars, automotive design, and automotive lifestyle products and related merchandise. A dedicated education area for new-quality vehicles will be established, alongside test-drive experiences in a variety of scenarios and displays of automotive cultural products, helping foster a plural-symbiosis and people-centered automotive culture. By collaborating with Beijing’s cultural and tourism resources and urban landmarks, the exhibition will develop a distinctive cultural brand, creating mutual benefits for the event and the city’s promotion.

Enhancing the Experience for Exhibitors and Visitors Alike

The organizing committee will use digital tools to identify and satisfy the needs of exhibitors and professional visitors, improving the effectiveness of business matchmaking. By bringing together the entire automotive industry chain, the exhibition will encourage automakers and auto parts suppliers to expand overseas markets through coordinated efforts.

Efforts will also be made to attract more international visitors, including overseas buyers, dealers, and industry organizations. Dedicated B2B matching sessions will facilitate technical cooperation, investment, and project implementation, helping Chinese automotive companies and brands expand their global footprints.

In collaboration with media partners, the organizing committee will build an integrated media network capable of generating hundreds of millions of exposures, bringing the exhibition to audiences worldwide. It will balance the exhibition’s trade-promotion objectives with its public education mission to broaden its reach. Various initiatives will encourage young people to visit and learn about the exhibition, helping cultivate a strong foundation for automotive culture. Meanwhile, service facilities will be planned and allocated appropriately to provide visitors with greater convenience.

Further Upgrading the Dual-Venue Collaboration

The exhibition will continue the dual-venue framework across the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi) and the Capital International Exhibition Center of China. It will also break down data barriers between the two venues, enabling real-time data analysis and intelligent coordination to ensure safe and orderly operations.

The comprehensive conference facilities at both venues will be fully utilized to better accommodate conferences, business meetings, banquets, and other events. Visitor routes will be optimized to improve movement efficiency, while additional leisure areas and diverse resting spaces will be developed to create a more comfortable exhibition experience.

Delivering a More Influential, World-Class International Auto Show

China’s automotive industry has maintained strong growth in recent years, while innovation cycles have become shorter and new models, technologies, and products have emerged at a rapid pace, creating greater demand for marketing opportunities. By integrating resources and creating added value, high-quality exhibitions can help automakers connect with effective market demand, deepen exchanges and cooperation, accelerate technological innovation, and improve business performance.

The organizing committee will remain committed to providing professional services and strive to deliver a world-class international auto show with greater refinement, depth, warmth, and influence. The event will contribute further to the high-quality development of the automotive industry and to China’s strategy to become a leading automotive powerhouse.
