Organised as the 20th edition of the event, the annual trade show focuses on automotive testing, development and validation technologies used across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and emerging mobility platforms. The exhibition covers a broad range of testing solutions, including electric and hybrid powertrain testing, battery and range testing, durability and environmental testing, NVH analysis, emissions measurement, crash testing, and test technologies for full vehicles, components and subsystems. As the China edition of the wider Testing Expo series, it serves as a specialised meeting point for the automotive testing community in one of the world’s most important vehicle manufacturing markets.
The exhibition is aimed at automotive OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, engineers, testing specialists, R&D teams, laboratory managers, proving-ground operators and companies involved in vehicle performance, safety and compliance. More than 330 exhibitors are expected to present products and services such as test rigs, dynamometers, simulation software, battery testing systems, data acquisition tools, emissions analysis equipment, durability testing technologies, ADAS and autonomous vehicle testing tools, and dynamic assessment systems. Service providers including test facilities and proving grounds also take part, giving visitors access to both equipment suppliers and outsourced testing resources.
Alongside the exhibition, the Technology Presentation Program will run throughout the three days of the event, featuring presentations from OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and research institutions. These sessions will examine current developments in automotive testing, validation, quality engineering and related technical practices.
