As a core product widely used in the automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, power industry, agriculture and other fields, internal combustion engines have achieved continuous production and sales of over 80 million units in recent years, with an annual total power output of over 2.9 billion kilowatts, an annual output value of nearly 800 billion yuan, and a total inventory of over 600 million units, driving an annual output value of over 20 trillion yuan for upstream and downstream industries. While making significant contributions to China's economic and social development, they have become a key area for achieving the "dual carbon" strategic goals.
Qian Hengrong, President of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, stated in his speech that thirty years have been a continuous process of accumulation, innovation, and surpassing for the industry and exhibitions. In 1994, the first China International Internal Combustion Engine and Parts Exhibition was born in Beijing, with internal combustion engines as the core, showcasing various internal combustion engines and parts. With the continuous development of information technology, intelligence, and digitization, we are based on the national "dual carbon" strategy and will expand and upgrade the exhibition. With the new appearance of the "International Internal Combustion Engine and Power Equipment Expo", we will showcase the profound potential of the internal combustion engine industry's "old and new" kinetic energy conversion and green transformation upgrading. We are committed to building the expo into a broad platform for the exchange of advanced technologies in the world's internal combustion engines.
After the speech, with the sound of salutes, a new prelude was opened for the 2024 Sports Expo. With prolonged applause and cheers, the 23rd China International Internal Combustion Engine and Power Equipment Expo has set sail at the Beijing Beiren Yichuang International Convention and Exhibition Center!
Advancing carbon peak and carbon neutrality is an inherent requirement for China to achieve sustainable and high-quality development in the new stage of development, and it is also an inevitable choice to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. The green and low-carbon transformation of internal combustion engines is related to the foundation and basis of industrial safety, determines the background and momentum of industrial development, and endows the construction of a strong power equipment country with new historical opportunities.
After the opening ceremony, the guests and their group went deep into the exhibition site and visited various booths in a touring manner to have cordial exchanges with business representatives and exhibitors.
