How the participants said

“We promoted our new energy mining trucks at this year’s CAPAS to accelerate our expansion in the Southwest mining market. During the show, we met local dealers, component suppliers and end users, gaining regional market insights and improving our local aftermarket network and support.”

“We are focusing on the Sichuan–Chongqing customising market. Leveraging CAPAS’s strategic location, we connected with local customising shops, 4S boutiques, foreign‑trade partners and cross‑border e‑commerce buyers, and achieved substantial progress in both domestic sales and exports.”

“The Southwest China road freight market combines mountainous terrain with the rapid rise of local fleets, motivating traditional operators to adopt electrification and digitalisation. At the conference, we explored three coordinated strategies: lifecycle digital management, a closed industry loop, and AI‑driven dispatch. Feedback from attendees was very positive, and offered us some practical guidance for the region’s transition.”

“Driven by the Chengdu–Chongqing region’s network of vocational colleges and automotive education resources, the sessions at CAPAS drew full attendance. They included 13 companies involved in developing the national standard for used car reconditioning training. They demonstrated core skills and presented end‑to‑end solutions across the supply chain, earning strong praise from both teachers and students for matching the job requirements of today.”

“The Red Bull pit stop challenge was the high point of my visit. It felt like being at the track as I could sense the intense atmosphere. I also had conversations with motorcycle and racing teams as well as tooling professionals. I am pleased to have broadened my industry network by meeting modification enthusiasts, shop owners and team technicians.”

“This year I saw a marked growth in the commercial vehicle sector, and the hydrogen energy exhibits offered key takeaways. Several buyers in our delegation reached procurement and cooperation agreements.”

"Our focus is on brakes, rear‑view mirrors and other aftermarket parts. Having attended CAPAS multiple times, I identified several promising suppliers in this edition. The programme was efficient and I plan to bring my team and senior management to the next show."

"We are sourcing passenger vehicles and SUV spare parts for the Central Asian market. Chinese products are increasingly meeting Central Asian needs as supply improves. For instance, a supplier impressed us with their remanufacturing solution that fit our business requirements, and we have agreed to explore cooperation."
