AlphaHelden at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich: Witnessing the Future of the Automotive Industry

On September 11–12, Mr. Xiaobo Shi, CEO of AlphaHelden, attended the IAA Mobility 2025 Summit and Open Space in Munich, Germany, where he explored cutting-edge trends and innovations shaping the global automotive industry.

This year’s event brought together over 700 exhibitors worldwide, including approximately 280 German companies and 110 Chinese companies, highlighting the deepening exchange and competition between Europe and China in the fields of new energy vehicles and intelligent mobility.

The exhibition made it clear: electrification is now the unstoppable direction of the automotive industry. Leading German automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen showcased their latest electric models, while Chinese manufacturers made a strong collective presence with brands including BYD, Geely, GAC, AITO, Xpeng, and Leapmotor—demonstrating China’s rising influence on the global stage.

Beyond electrification, intelligent cockpit design and autonomous driving stood out as major highlights. High-end models now feature panoramic triple-screen dashboards and Level 3 autonomous driving as near-standard configurations. Several automakers offered on-site autonomous driving test drives. Mr. Shi personally experienced DJI’s Zhuoyu autonomous vehicle and observed Hongqi’s smooth performance on both highways and urban streets, underscoring the maturity and strength of China’s autonomous driving technologies.

At Munich’s Open Space, the vision of future mobility seamlessly integrated with city life. Brand pavilions blended into the heart of the city, where families and visitors engaged directly with vehicles and innovations in an immersive, urban setting—bringing futuristic mobility closer to everyday experience.

Looking ahead, as technological breakthroughs accelerate and international collaboration deepens, the global automotive industry is poised to embrace an even more dynamic and prosperous future.
