As the pulse of the global automotive industry beats strongly at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), an industry grand event themed "Innovation, Integration, Sustainable Development" paints a clear picture of the future for the world. From November 26 to 29, 2025, the 22nd Shanghai International Auto Parts, Maintenance, Repair and Diagnostic Equipment and Services Exhibition (Automechanika Shanghai) was held on an unprecedented scale. For the first time, the exhibition utilized all 15 exhibition halls, covering a record 383,000 square meters. It attracted 7,465 enterprises from 44 countries and regions, and professional visitors from nearly 160 countries and regions. The active participation of 261 professional buyer delegations testified to the unprecedented demand for collaborative development and business cooperation in the global automotive industry.

As one of the top three auto parts exhibitions globally and the largest in Asia, Automechanika Shanghai not only showcased expanded scale but also focused direction. Exhibition data indicated that the new energy and intelligent connectivity sector emerged as the absolute core, with exhibition space increasing by 50% year-on-year and over 40% of exhibitors presenting related solutions. From the three-electric system (battery, motor, electronic control), smart cockpit, and ADAS to intelligent chassis, every innovative cell in the industrial chain is reshaping the definition of "automobile." Notably, new energy components, electronic control parts, and intelligent driving perception components became the focus of inquiries, clearly revealing the irreversible trend of the automotive industry towards "electronic and electrical architecture upgrading." In this grand transformation, connectors and wiring harnesses—acting as the "neural network" and "energy vasculature" of automobiles—directly determine the vehicle's performance, safety limits, and user experience through their technical capabilities.

Trend Focus: Technology Iteration Directions, Defining New Connectivity Standards

The event clearly outlined four core directions for the iteration of automotive connectivity technology, each posing a severe test for suppliers' comprehensive capabilities:

• High Voltage and High Reliability: With the popularization of 800V high-voltage platforms, connectivity systems must withstand the continuous impact of higher voltage and larger current. High-voltage connectors need excellent voltage resistance, arc resistance, and stability within a wide temperature range of -40℃~125℃ and under harsh vibrations—serving as the cornerstone for the safe operation of battery packs and electric drive systems.

• High Speed and High Fidelity: Intelligent driving relies on real-time, lossless transmission of massive  data. Connectors must support stable interaction of GHz-level high-speed signals in limited spaces and adopt precision shielding structures to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring the accuracy of      perception data from millimeter-wave radars, cameras, and other devices.

• Lightweight and Material Innovation: "Weight reduction for efficiency" has become an industry consensus, driving the application of material technologies such as "aluminum replacing copper." By optimizing wiring harness design and using lightweight materials, vehicle cost reduction, energy conservation, and emission reduction are achieved while maintaining performance.

• Integration and Deep Customization: To adapt to the spatial layout and functional integration of different vehicle models, the demand for modular design and full-process customized services is increasingly prominent. This requires suppliers to deeply participate in customer R&D and provide personalized wiring harness      solutions from concept to mass production.
