Beginning in 2017, all newly manufactured vehicles must conform to these standards, and by 2018, all vehicles must meet them without any compromise. All industry players competing for Chinese market are continuously improving their manufacturing process in order to be in conformity with these newly regulated criteria.
Recent years also witnessed the accelerating development of connected and autonomous vehicles, autonomous and driverless vehicle technology will present automotive designers and vehicle manufacturers with a whole new approach to the way in which vehicle interiors are designed and manufactured. Vehicle connectivity and autonomy technology will allow drivers to spend less time driving and more time doing other things, which could heavily influence the way consumers make their purchasing decisions. Asian countries like China, Japan, Singapore have also been releasing policies and regulations on promoting CAV future development.
It's against the backdrop of these automotive technology development and policy changes this upcoming Asia Vehicle Interior Design and Technology Summit 2018 is held aiming to provide a business gathering and platform for all industry professionals to be well informed of the latest regulations, new technology breakthrough, excellent design concepts, eco-friendly interior materials development,etc.
