About the show
Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition (Auto Guangzhou) is a complete-vehicle show with a supply chain zone in the same complex. Passenger car makers launch models and concepts in one section; the supply chain zone beside it covers automotive electronics, smart cockpits, autonomous driving, battery and chassis technology; and the parts on display run from engines and transmissions to glass, lighting and lightweight materials.
Auto Guangzhou is one of China’s three largest motor shows, and it is where launches are timed and where tier-one suppliers meet the teams that buy for Chinese assembly lines. Trade visitors register for the supply chain zone separately, and an official summit runs alongside the show.
