China News Service, Beijing, November 14th London News: On November 13, local time, the first "World Chinese Automotive Engineers Global Connection" event kicked off in the UK.

This event was organized by the All-UK Association of Chinese Automotive Engineers (UKCSAE) in collaboration with the Austrian-Chinese Association for Science and Technology Exchange (PASCO), North American Association of Chinese Engine Engineers (NAACEE), North American Association of Chinese Automotive Engineers (NACSAE), French Association of Chinese Automotive Engineers (AICAF) , The All-German Society of Chinese Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (CGME) and the Association of Chinese Automotive Engineers in Japan (JCSAE) jointly organized.

  The online event will last four days. There will be nearly 40 industry experts and well-known scholars from all over the world who will discuss the automotive industry such as electric vehicles, charging and energy storage, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, autonomous driving, and emission regulations. Real hot topics, in-depth and extensive exchanges and discussions.

  The chairman of the organizing committee of this event, the chairman of the British Association of Chinese Automotive Engineers (UKCSAE), and Professor Xu Hongming from the University of Birmingham explained the purpose of the event: A large-scale technology exchange platform; enables overseas Chinese automotive engineers from all over the world to have the opportunity to communicate in Chinese together; build on-site online communication opportunities for overseas and domestic automotive counterparts, thereby promoting international exchanges and cooperation in the automotive industry, and strengthening countries The connection and friendship between automotive engineers and scholars.

  At the meeting, Chris Mason, CEO of FISITA, spoke highly of the concept of the global connection event, expressed his full support for the event, and hoped that all parties to the event would continue to increase their influence through communication and cooperation. , To inject healthy vitality into the global automotive industry.

  Professor Zhao Fuquan, Dean of the Institute of Automotive Industry and Technology Strategy of Tsinghua University, gave a keynote speech entitled "Strategic Opportunities and Tactical Challenges of Carbon Neutrality" for the opening ceremony.

He briefly introduced the significance and value of the implementation of global carbon neutrality, as well as China's understanding of the dual carbon goal and determination to achieve carbon neutrality, and analyzed the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities faced by the auto industry to achieve this goal; and The issue of how the automobile industry can achieve the effective landing of the dual-carbon goal has proposed a systematic analysis and interpretation of the whole life cycle strategy covering technical routes, corporate actions, industrial chain building, and effective linkage of upstream energy and downstream transportation.

  After the opening session, there was a special event with the theme "Future Smart Travel-Application and Development of Smart Driving Technology".

Participants made relevant technical reports on theories, applications, software and hardware development related to intelligent networking and autonomous driving. The audience and guests who signed up through the online platform conducted enthusiastic interactive questions and answers on related topics.

  On the first day of the conference, more than 100,000 people in the automotive industry from all over the world watched the conference.

In subsequent activities, experts and scholars from China, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Japan and other countries will continue to make technical reports on a series of hot issues such as autonomous driving technology and electric vehicle technology.

  At present, the global automotive industry also coincides with the "cold winter" of the epidemic era.

The change of industry technology, the influence of the global industrial chain, and the upgrading of policies and regulations have all made the world's automotive industry face special challenges and opportunities.

Therefore, the first "World Chinese Automotive Engineers Global Connection" event brought together Chinese, Chinese automotive engineers and scholars from various countries to overcome difficulties such as the epidemic and time difference, discuss the current situation and future of the automotive industry online, and contribute to the development of the global automotive industry The voice of China and the strength of the Chinese have injected a "heat wave" into the global automotive industry in the "winter".
