Gasgoo Munich- The "4th Future Automotive Pioneer Conference — Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Technology Collaboration Meeting" wrapped up on May 29. Hosted by the Shenzhen New Energy Vehicle Industry Office and organized by the Shenzhen Automobile Industry Federation, the Greater Bay Area International Auto Expo Organizing Committee, and Shenzhen United Exhibition Group, the event featured Gasgoo as a strategic partner.
As a key sideline event for the 2026 Greater Bay Area International Auto Expo, the meeting focused on integrating the full supply chain for intelligent connected and new energy vehicles. Addressing real procurement needs and technical collaboration bottlenecks for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, the event leveraged technical showcases and offline, one-on-one matchmaking to significantly boost efficiency and deal closure rates.
Centered on "technology showcases + precise matchmaking," the event drew a roster of high-caliber buyers. Attendees included an unnamed NEV OEM, JAC, Chery, BAIC, a luxury automaker, XPENG AEROHT, a Japanese automaker, Grammer, NIO, Geely, Shanxi Success, Aisin, Magna, Jifeng, Adient, VCS Technology, and Hangsheng. Together, they engaged in on-site exchanges covering more than 60 product requirements.
On-site demand spanned a wide spectrum: ADAS autonomous driving, automotive-grade chips, electronic components like wiring harnesses and sensors, smart surfaces, seat structural components, comfort ventilation and massage systems, carbon fiber, chip localization, and new materials for bodies and chassis. Notably, parts, chips, controllers, wiring harnesses, and connectors for eVTOL vertical take-off and landing aircraft—brought by a leading flying car company—became a procurement focal point. These requirements map out the critical intersection of intelligent connected NEV technology: from upgrading traditional parts to breakthroughs in new energy power systems, and from smart cockpits and autonomous driving to new materials. The industry is demanding supply chain capabilities that offer high reliability, high integration, and strong cost-performance.
For instance, the demand for carbon fiber and new body and chassis materials reflects the ongoing pursuit of weight reduction and structural performance. Meanwhile, electronic components like automotive-grade chips, sensors, and wiring harnesses—spanning cabin interaction, driver assistance, electronic control systems, and even flight control modules—highlight localization and performance upgrades as the primary focus for OEM-supplier collaboration.
The successful event established a practical model for efficient collaboration within Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area's intelligent connected NEV sector. Leveraging Gasgoo's precise matching capabilities and Shenzhen's cluster advantages in electronic information, AI, and advanced manufacturing, the event fully connected automakers with parts suppliers. It allowed for deep alignment in mass production, supply chain management, and quality system certification, effectively boosting local supporting rates and supply chain resilience. At the same time, the urgent demand from OEMs for intelligent, integrated, and cutting-edge technology is pressuring parts suppliers to accelerate innovation and flexible transformation—achieving a two-way empowerment and collaborative upgrade.
The core of supply chain collaboration lies in breaking down information barriers between automakers, Tier 1, Tier 2, and upstream component suppliers, while promoting resource sharing and capability reconstruction. Underlying technologies across the automotive sector—precision manufacturing, electronic-electrical architecture, power semiconductors, and intelligent control systems—are highly interconnected. Through this meeting, mature OEM manufacturing systems and scale advantages provided clear demand guidance for parts suppliers. In turn, the technological innovation and rapid response of parts suppliers helped accelerate vehicle product iteration, jointly enhancing the overall competitiveness and supply chain security of China's intelligent connected NEV industry.
Conclusion
The 4th Future Automotive Pioneer Conference — Intelligent Connected NEV Technology Collaboration Meeting — leveraged the Greater Bay Area Auto Show as an industry window, focusing on deep OEM-supplier collaboration amidst the intelligent transformation. Through preliminary demand collection, supplier profiling, qualification reviews, and targeted invitations, the event culminated in offline one-on-one scheduled meetings and open networking, building an efficient and pragmatic bridge for buyers and suppliers. The event also established a ledger of corporate needs and a long-term matchmaking service mechanism, extending a single expo interaction into a sustained industrial service platform to continuously amplify the value of supply chain collaboration.
