New brands focused on technology, including Huawei-backed Harmony Intelligent Mobility, Nio, Xpeng, Li Auto, Xiaomi, and Leapmotor, are also expected to showcase developments in battery electric drive systems, long-range capabilities, and hydrogen.
In addition to automotive producers, the exhibition will feature participants from 21 countries and regions across the entire supply chain and key technologies.
