With 990 cars in display from almost all major car makers, this year’s Auto China has broken all the previous records in terms of attendance. It has been hailed as the most successful auto show in world.

The event, a 10 day affair, was held at the International Exhibition Centre in China. This show saw the debut of 89 new models and 95 new energy efficient vehicles were also displayed for the first time along with 65 concept based cars.

The response to the event was outstanding, especially during the extended weekend due to May day which witnessed a footfall of around 145, 900.

Traffic was affected badly by the large number of people visiting the show and in some cases the exhibitors had to put restrictions on the number of people visiting their stalls. Though there was a bit of inconvenience, most of the visitors seemed to be very excited on witnessing such a huge collection of cars.

The success of this show has great significance in the Chinese auto industry, especially at a time when the Chinese auto industry is growing at a rapid speed and has taken over the United States to become the largest market in the world.

Although critics feel China has a long way to go before it establishes itself as strong auto market, the success of this show will definitely help in building a strong base for itself. China is one of the fastest growing economies in the globe and this industry plays a major role in it.
