The 24th China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition in Chongqing highlighted a major industry transition toward electrification and intelligent technologies. The event reached record scales, featuring over 1,100 exhibitors and attracting more than 1,700 foreign buyers from approximately 90 countries.

Industry developments focused on AI-driven systems, dual-domain controller architectures, and advanced battery solutions, including sodium-ion and charging/swapping ecosystems. Electric motorcycles are increasingly viewed as a primary technological route rather than a supplementary category. 

International interest remains high, with Italian brands such as Moto Morini noting the competitive yet promising nature of the Chinese market. This growth is supported by Chongqing’s expanding production capacity, which saw a 50.5% increase in motorcycle production from January to August.
