Actively Exploring New Frontiers in the Intelligent Economy and Shaping the Future of Automotive Manufacturing Through Forward-looking Planning

Auto Shanghai 2027 will continue to serve as a hub connecting vehicle manufacturing, intelligent technology, supply chain ecosystems, and end markets, empowering enterprises to shift from a focus on vertical integration toward deep collaboration - extending the technological capabilities accumulated in the automotive sector into the broader intelligent hardware domain.

The exhibition will explore multiple cutting-edge tracks by launching the Embodied Intelligence Exhibition Area, the Physical AI and High-end Auto Chips Testing Ground, so as to enrich the product definition, technological architecture, and industrial landscape of intelligent vehicles and strive to propel the global automotive industry to a new level - from "traditional manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing."
