Closer Sino-UK auto cooperation urged
The event also featured a keynote session with speakers including Ge Hongde, the country manager of BYD UK and Ireland; Zhao Hua, pro vice-chancellor research at the Brunel University of London and Jon Caine, technical director at AVL Powertrain UK, a mobility technology company. They discussed the overseas expansion of Chinese car brands and the latest advancements in automotive technology.
Xu Hongming, president of the UK Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers and professor of energy and automotive engineering at the University of Birmingham, expressed hope that the event could continue to serve as a platform for exchanges and cooperation.
"As an annual event for the China-UK automotive industry, this forum not only provides an effective platform for exchanges and cooperation but also promotes in-depth cooperation between China and the UK in automotive engineering and related fields by discussing the latest technologies and policy developments," Xu said.
"The UK Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers will continue to promote multinational cooperation and technological innovation to contribute to the sustainable development of the global automotive industry," he added.
