Gasgoo Munich-As Chinese automotive companies deepen their global expansion, international competitiveness increasingly extends beyond exports to overseas R&D, manufacturing, supply chain collaboration, and localized operations. Adapting products, business models, and partnerships to diverse market requirements is becoming essential for sustainable growth.
The Best Overseas Practice Award recognizes automotive supply chain companies with proven experience in overseas expansion and localization. It evaluates international strategy, product and technology adaptation, brand building, operational management, and industry collaboration, with a focus on turning competitive strengths into solutions suited to different markets and building reliable, sustainable delivery capabilities.
These companies demonstrate diverse paths to global growth, from entering overseas markets to establishing local operations and collaborating with international partners. Their experience is helping China's automotive supply chain evolve beyond product and cost advantages toward stronger technological capabilities, integrated systems, and global service networks—bringing proven Chinese technologies and solutions to markets worldwide.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, the organizing committee selected 9 companies and their solutions for recognition in the Best Overseas Practice category. The awards were presented at the closing ceremony of the 8th Gasgoo Awards, held in Shanghai on October 23, 2026.
