Hong Kong International Automotive & Supply Chain Expo (AUTO HK)AUTO HK

As the largest and most comprehensive automotive expo in Hong Kong's history, AUTO HK boasts the highest participation rate of Chinese automakers outside mainland China and holds the greatest local influence among international automotive and supply chain expos in Hong Kong.

Themed "New Vehicles, New Journey," this edition covers an exhibition area of 55,000 square meters with over 300 exhibitors. It features six core zones: Global Vehicles, Supply Chain, Low-Altitude Economy, Innovative Technology, Hong Kong Pavilion, and Cultural Activities. Concurrently, more than 20 supporting events will be held, including high-end forums, thematic lectures, business matchmaking, and investment & financing networking. This creates a three-dimensional ecosystem of "Exhibition + Forum + Transaction," aiming to build a global platform integrating industrial exchange, supply chain collaboration, and financial services to drive the deep integration of the global automotive industry chain.

Leveraging its unique advantage of being backed by the mainland and connected to the world, Hong Kong serves as an international financial, shipping, and trade hub, as well as the world's freest economy, ranking first globally in international trade and commercial regulations. Hong Kong will continue to maximize its strengths in three key areas: "consolidating capital markets to drive industrial expansion," "steadfastly developing innovation and technology to empower future industries," and "leading green industries to promote sustainable development," thereby serving enterprises in tapping into the golden track of the new energy vehicle industry.

Hong Kong has achieved remarkable results in EV adoption. The number of electric vehicles has surged eightfold from 14,000 five years ago to 110,000 by the end of last year. Currently, 7 out of every 10 newly registered private cars in Hong Kong are electric, placing its growth rate among the world's leading positions.

"The automotive industry is a marathon that tests endurance. Especially given the complex and volatile international environment and the accelerated reshaping of global supply chains, the internationalization journey of China's auto industry will be full of challenges," emphasized Lu Jinrong. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong's advantage as an international hub connecting China and the world will become increasingly prominent. He believes Hong Kong can fully leverage its roles as a "Super Connector" and "Super Value-Adder" to provide comprehensive professional services—from financing support and supply chain management to green tech R&D and ESG compliance—safeguarding the global expansion of China's automotive industry.

AUTO HK has attracted 12 complete vehicle manufacturers from mainland China, showcasing their latest models and fully highlighting the cutting-edge technological levels and fruitful achievements in the intelligent connected new energy vehicle sector. Exhibiting companies include FAW Hongqi, SAIC Motor, Dongfeng Motor, Changan Automobile, BAIC Group, GAC Group, Chery Automobile, Geely Automobile, BYD, XPeng Motors, Leapmotor, and Great Wall Motor.

Additionally, over 40 automotive supply chain and tech enterprises are participating. Leading tech companies such as CATL, Horizon Robotics, Pony.ai, SemiDrive, SiEngine, and Baidu will present innovative technologies, jointly exploring industrial pathways from component innovation to systemic intelligent upgrades. Numerous renowned Chinese-funded institutions and Hong Kong-based tech enterprises are also actively participating, featuring highlights such as the shield tunneling machines by China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC), a national heavy equipment manufacturer, and international logistics services showcased by COSCO Shipping.
