About the show
AUTO TECH China is a technology exhibition for the front end of vehicle development — the electronics, software, materials, systems and test equipment that suppliers deliver to car makers — laid out as parallel specialist sections rather than one hall of vehicles.
Visitors are engineers and buyers from vehicle makers and tier-one suppliers. Component makers meet purchasing teams through a matchmaking programme, and conference sessions run on driver assistance, chassis control, cockpits, lightweighting, thermal management and vehicle test.

Reference
Previous edition (2025)
Spread over 40,000 m², the 12th edition ran 21–24 November 2025 in Area D and drew 451 exhibitors, 45,218 visits and 86 VIP buyer groups.
Concurrent conferences
Eight conferences run alongside the exhibition: automotive electronics and autonomous driving, intelligent chassis, smart cockpits and displays, lightweighting and materials, test and quality control, new energy and thermal management, smart interiors and exteriors, and cockpit test and evaluation. A South China automotive steel matchmaking meeting is staged as a special event.
Buyer programme
One-to-one matchmaking puts exhibitors in front of purchasing teams. Invited buyers come from more than 30 countries and regions, some 50 vehicle R&D centres, 100-plus vehicle makers and 1,000-plus tier-one suppliers.
Co-located show
The exhibition runs alongside the 24th Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition in the same complex.
