Chengdu, May 22, 2024. As a full-service platform for the automotive industry in Southwest China that integrates industry exchanges, trade and investment, and industry-education integration, the 10th Chengdu International Auto Parts and Aftermarket Services Exhibition (CAPAS) came to a successful conclusion at the Chengdu Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center on May 18. This exhibition set a record high in both the scale of exhibitors and the number of visitors, an increase of 11% and 22% respectively over the previous session. It not only fully demonstrated the cutting-edge products and technologies in the fields of green and low-carbon, new energy and intelligent networking, but also provided strong support for talent cultivation and international cooperation in the automotive industry, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the Southwest market.

Mr. Yu Guang, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said: “After ten years of precipitation and growth, CAPAS has accumulated deep industry resources. This exhibition not only focuses on the development trend of the southwest automobile industry, international industrial chain cooperation and automobile consumption, but also as a professional exhibition platform, CAPAS is constantly evolving and expanding its functions and positioning. This year’s CAPAS has added the function of “industry-education integration” and created a series of activities for it, contributing to the talent cultivation and school-enterprise cooperation in the automobile industry. In addition, the 10th celebration series of activities has greatly improved the participation effect of participants through a number of interactive and experiential rich content, and has won unanimous praise from all parties.”

In recent years, driven by new energy and intelligent network innovation technologies, the industrial cooperation between Sichuan and Chongqing has been increasingly strengthened and improved. The proportion of products displayed in related fields in this exhibition has increased significantly. Many local companies such as Chengdu Tongguanglian, Guoqi Zhirui, and Zhongling Zhixing have concentrated on displaying the integrated development results of intelligent network and new energy. Leshan, Nanchong, Yibin, Ziyang and other 15 Sichuan provinces, cities and prefectures joined hands with Chongqing to appear again, showing the industry the brilliant achievements of Sichuan and Chongqing automobile manufacturing.
