The first half of 2024 witnessed significant advancements in China's automotive industry, particularly in the production and sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs). By June, cumulative production and sales of domestically produced NEVs had exceeded 30 million units, with Chinese brand passenger cars capturing more than 60% of the market. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), steady growth is expected to continue throughout the year, bolstered by favorable policies such as "old-for-new" incentives and initiatives promoting NEVs in rural areas.
Automotive World China 2024: A Comprehensive Platform

AWC 2024 will feature a vast 50,000 square meter exhibition space, hosting manufacturers and solution providers from over 50 countries and regions. The exhibition will be divided into seven key sections, showcasing the latest advancements in automotive electronic components, new materials, software-defined vehicles, intelligent vehicles, core components for NEVs, and more. This comprehensive display aims to foster an open and collaborative automotive ecosystem, driving the development of market-competitive products.
Focus on Innovation and Collaboration
