The Guangzhou Auto Show is one of three main events the Automotive industry holds in China every year and we were happy to travel to there in December 2014 and capture the highlights of Volkswagen's performance.
Guangzhou Auto Show may be secondary in China to the Beijing and Shanghai Shows alternating each year in April, yet by Western standards this is a large Auto Show, housed at the China Import and Export Fair in Pazhou. There were a total of thirteen exhibition halls on two levels with Chinese carmakers allocated roughly one third of the entire space, plus numerous outdoor stands, putting Guangzhou almost at the same level as Paris in terms of surface allocated to the Show…
The annual Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition will see its tenth edition from Nov. 23 to Dec. 2 in the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.
