Auto China 2024 roared back to life in Beijing this week after a four-year hiatus, and guess what’s stealing the spotlight? New energy vehicles (NEVs) and cross-border partnerships that are reshaping the future of mobility!
Dozens of futuristic models debuted at the show, from sleek electric SUVs to hydrogen-powered concept cars. But beyond the shiny exteriors, a bigger trend emerged: collaboration is the new competition. CGTN’s Li Mengyuan caught up with XPENG Motors’ CEO He Xiaopeng and Volkswagen Design chief Andreas Mindt, who both emphasized the need for ‘multi-way journeys’ in innovation.
He Xiaopeng told reporters: “The NEV race isn’t just about batteries – it’s about shared smart tech and sustainable ecosystems.” Meanwhile, Mindt revealed Volkswagen’s plans to blend German engineering with local consumer insights through partnerships in the Chinese mainland.
Why the teamwork vibe? With global EV sales projected to hit 17 million this year, automakers are mixing strengths like never before – think European design meets AI-driven software from Asia. From battery swaps to autonomous driving systems, Auto China 2024 proves the road to net-zero is paved with handshakes, not just horsepower!
