Cheng Yongshun, Vice President of China National Ma- chinery Industry International, the show’s co-organiser, noted: “At the same time that Automechanika Shanghai was founded, China’s automotive industry also entered a period of rapid development. Industry transformation began from scratch to become stronger as time pro- gressed; in the past two years, the industry experienced further transformation and continued to grow steadily. The development prospects as a whole are exceeding expectations. Thus, the exhibition would see more inter- nationalisation and specialisation.”
