Since China has already become the world's largest auto market, it would be difficult for global auto makers to progress without a clear strategy for the Chinese market, said Victor Muller, CEO of the Dutch luxury sports car maker Spyker Cars N.V..
New energy vehicles and the latest energy-saving technologies were brought to show.
Volkswagen, Europe's largest car maker, will showcase its "Blue Motion" technologies for electric cars at the Expo, while Japanese brand Honda Motor has announced to introduce three hybrid car models into China in the next three years.
China's home brands, such as Chery Automobile and BYD Auto, has also brought their latest electric vehicle models, including the debut of E1 electric concept car from the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp.(SAIC).
Xu Liuping, president of Chinese automaker Changan Automobile Group which brought four hybrid car models and six electric ones to the Expo, said the group's future strategy would focus on "G-Living", which refers to "green, growth and global."
The biennial exhibition is one of the three major auto shows in China. The other two are staged in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
