ABOUT THE FAIR
The CDMS Chengdu Motor Show is the largest and most influential automotive exhibition in Western China. Since its inception in 1998, it has established itself as a key industry gathering every late summer and is held annually at the modern Century City New International Convention & Exhibition Center (CCNICEC) in Chengdu. Organized by Hannover Milano Fairs China Ltd., the event showcases the latest vehicle premieres, innovations from established manufacturers, and emerging drivetrain technologies, including electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and traditional combustion engines. Topics such as intelligent and connected mobility, smart battery systems, infotainment, tuning, and lifestyle are also a central focus.
What sets the CDMS apart is its clear focus on the dynamically growing automotive market in Western China. The show serves as a vital platform for accessing this promising future market—not only for international manufacturers and suppliers, but also for specialized service providers in areas such as vehicle painting, car audio, accessories, after-sales, and automotive care. Representatives from the OEM sector, suppliers, smart mobility developers, start-ups, and lifestyle product providers all benefit from the wide range of networking opportunities.
The CDMS is renowned for its extensive range of premieres, exclusive vehicle unveilings, and special presentations. Innovative driver assistance systems, flying car demonstrations, and advanced charging and energy solutions take center stage. The exhibition experience is further enhanced by professional conferences such as the “China Automotive Pioneer Thinking Symposium,” practical test-drive tracks, technical zones, and live events, which promote direct exchanges between industry experts, engineers, media representatives, and young talents.
Exhibitors come from nearly every segment of the automotive industry—from leading international brands to innovative start-ups and suppliers of intelligent vehicle solutions. The event primarily attracts trade visitors and industry professionals, including decision-makers from the automotive sector, technology developers, designers, dealers, and representatives from after-sales and service. Thanks to its international orientation, the CDMS also draws numerous participants from neighboring Asian markets and is considered a key event in the annual exhibition calendar. It ranks among the four leading automotive shows in Western China and serves as an essential showcase for new market trends.
Located in Chengdu, a thriving economic metropolis, the CDMS acts not only as a regional attraction but also as a gateway to the Southwest Chinese and Asian automotive markets. The CCNICEC exhibition center impresses with its convenient location, easy accessibility from both the city center and Chengdu International Airport, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Chengdu Motor Show thus offers optimal conditions for innovation, networking, and an authentic insight into the future of mobility—right in the heart of China.
