CIIE 2026 in Shanghai: automotive and local R&D at the center of announcements

At the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, automakers and suppliers presented technologies for intelligent vehicles, electrification, carbon fiber recycling, and robotics. The show illustrates a shared shift: Chinese uses weigh more heavily on global models and foreign players are localizing their R&D decisions there. German groups Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz and Japanese Toyota are described as transferring more R&D decisions to China, while French Valeo and South Korean Samsung exhibit respectively a smart camera platform and chips for mobility. Hyundai highlights its long-term presence in China, and several suppliers seek to expand their capabilities toward robotics.
