The 20th edition of the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, also known as Auto Shanghai, is set to hit the ground running in April this year – according to information revealed by the organizers, the Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co Ltd, at SIEC's New Year Business Promotion Conference on Feb 22.
Rated as one of the most significant commercial events of the year in East China's Shanghai, Auto Shanghai was the first auto show in China to receive prestigious certification from the Paris-based global expo industry body, the Union of International Fairs.
It has grown exponentially over the years to become one of the largest and most influential international A-level auto exhibitions in the world.
The theme of this year's Auto Shanghai is "Embrace the New Era of the Automobile Industry". According to Gu Chunting, chairman of SIEC, the exhibition aims to explore the low-carbon transformation path of the auto industry.
