2. Foreword
Since China’s entry into WTO, the Chinese automotive industry has experienced a tremendous growth. Research statistic shows that in year 2005, both production and sales volume hits 5.5 million units and is currently the world’s third largest automobile manufacturer. The progress is expected to bring China to become one of the biggest auto producing and the fastest growing auto market nation.
The China automotive industry has not only become an important industry contributing to the nation economy growth but has also represents a benchmark level determining the advance progress of the society. Therefore, more and more consumers are starting to experience civilization with the development of automobile industry.
Although China has come to be one of the biggest automobile producer of the world, it still need to focus on the development of core technology such as designing, research and development, etc. to deflate the gap with the traditional automobile countries. To have more independent production base on its own knowledge and technology.
As well known, the automobile producers and service providers are focus on safe, environment friendly technology and modernizations. Automotive modeling became more and more important to support less pollution, less raw materials cost. So far it is also a very important element for the difference of the market. The consumers always want more future, better performance and more individuation, although the manufacturers had tried a lot.
As the skill aspect of the production technology of the automotive industry are minimize, the technical aspect and quality differences between different brands are also reducing and therefore the design aspect of the vehicle is now becoming a more important factor in positioning and differentiating the various vehicle brands.
The modeling of an automobile is very much depending on the overall concept of an automobile specification and requirement which will then form the most ideal concept outlook of a vehicle. A concept design requires a combination of the exterior and interior design and is able to display the unique features, functions and performances using the creative ideas of science and technology. This concept outlook design of an automobile will then be the main factor in attracting consumers’ desire to own one. The concept design is the most initial process of an overall automobile design and it is also the most important step in determining the success of a new vehicle.
In order to promote and develop the automobile concept design, a forum needs to be organized to create a platform for networking and exchanging innovative technology ideas and views on the industry. Therefore, RA China Expo Council will host “China International Auto Modeling and Innovative Technology Forum 2007” at Shanghaimart, Shanghai on October 26th, 2007.
The forum had invited expert participants in the field of design and R & D from many countries such as the Germany, US, France, Italy, Japan as well as Chinese automobile manufacturers. Professor Lugi Colani (one of the most famous and advanced automobile designers of the world) will be as the Chairman of the forum. The organizers will commit themselves to provide great opportunity for an international level networking on topic relating to the domestic and international advanced product design ideas and technology via this forum. Thus help to develop China Automobile concept design industry into another platform.
