- The Beijing New Energy Vehicle Components Exhibition (CIAACE) is China’s first specialized trade show covering the entire new energy vehicle industrial chain. It has been accredited by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) and is widely regarded as a barometer of China’s automotive aftermarket and a bellwether for the new energy vehicle supply chain. Since its inception in 2005, after more than two decades of development, it has become a central platform connecting global resources within the new energy vehicle industry and showcasing cutting-edge technological achievements.
- The core value of participation lies in its role as a precise bridge linking global resources across the new energy vehicle supply chain. At the 2025 exhibition, 587 participating companies from around the world gathered, along with 66 officials from 22 foreign embassies in China, 161 heads of relevant departments from automakers, and 118 leaders from supply chain enterprises. Professional attendees included key personnel from vehicle R&D institutes, procurement centers, supply chain management departments, and intelligent driving/cabin divisions, providing exhibitors with a strategic window to engage directly with top-tier global purchasing decision-makers.
- The exhibition establishes a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire new energy vehicle industrial chain. Exhibits span all major categories, including the core “three electric” systems (batteries, motors, and electronic controls), intelligent driving, smart cockpits, chips, lightweight materials, thermal management, smart manufacturing, charging and battery-swapping equipment, and after-sales services. At the 2025 exhibition, with an exhibition space of 25,000 square meters, 4,972 latest products from the new energy vehicle supply chain were displayed, and private enterprises accounted for 378 exhibitors, making it a significant force driving industrial innovation.
- The exhibition keeps pace with industry trends toward “technological innovation + global expansion,” building a high ground for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. At the 2025 exhibition, a forward-looking product launch zone was set up, where 58 pioneering technological products impacting the automotive industry were unveiled, covering innovations such as embodied robots, solid-state batteries, AI cockpits, wheel-hub motors, and aerial imaging. Concurrently, the third China International New Energy Vehicle Supply Chain Conference & Overseas Expansion Forum was held, during which embassies from seven countries—including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Finland—announced their latest policies and market demands, while embassies from another seven countries, such as Greece and Finland, independently organized investment and trade matchmaking sessions, successfully establishing direct and efficient platforms for supply-demand matching.
- The exhibition innovatively created a “Vehicle Disassembly Demonstration Zone,” becoming a major traffic driver throughout the event. On-site disassembly of four popular models—Xiaomi, Tesla, BYD, and Geely—was conducted, comparing 327 core components under eight thematic categories, attracting over 60,000 professional spectators and car enthusiasts, with more than 80 KOLs stopping by to take photos, generating online traffic exceeding 100 million views.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a critical hub for expanding into international markets, connecting with global resources, and achieving technological overseas deployment. Four countries—Finland, Mexico, and others—sent 42 international exhibitors bringing 127 products to engage deeply with Chinese supply chain enterprises. Finland’s Qt company’s intelligent cockpit software framework and Mexico’s Nemak’s lightweight aluminum alloy received high recognition from domestic companies. Through this platform, exhibitors can access international procurement networks, transitioning from “product export” to “technology + standards export,” thus seizing early opportunities in the globalization of the new energy vehicle industry.
