With nearly 1,000 exhibitors from 26 countries and regions, this year's event is the largest in its history – and 70% of the 1,300 displayed vehicles are electric!
Tech Titans & Global Partnerships
Toyota announced a $2 billion EV factory in Shanghai, while Volkswagen revealed plans for 30+ new China-specific models by 2028. 'China's tech ecosystem lets us innovate at warp speed,' said Volkswagen's Stefan Mecha, highlighting the country's role as a global EV lab.
Battery Breakthroughs
CATL's game-changing 'dual-core' battery stole the show – think of it like a karaoke room divider, but for energy! The tech splits cells into two optimized zones, boosting efficiency.
