Organizers say the showcase will feature more than 1,085 vehicles, nearly 630 of which fall into the new energy vehicle (NEV) segment. The share of electric and hybrid models has climbed so quickly that they now account for almost 58 percent of all exhibits, setting a new record for the event and speaking volumes about where the market is heading.

Among the participants, German automakers draw plenty of attention—BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen—alongside American manufacturers General Motors and Ford. Even so, the lead is taken by Chinese marques such as Nio, Xpeng, Li Auto, and BYD, whose lineups are earning recognition at home and steadily stepping onto the global stage.

One headline theme is the push into autonomous driving and ultra-fast charging. For example, Xpeng’s new SEPA 2.0 architecture supports 800-volt fast charging, a step that promises to cut recharge times significantly.

Beyond the traditional vehicle displays, attendees can explore the latest from adjacent sectors—component and electronics suppliers including CATL and Huawei. Their exhibits underscore how new technologies are being woven into cars to boost efficiency, trim costs, and enhance the overall operating characteristics of modern vehicles.
