Gasgoo Munich- Under the theme "Leading the Era, Intelligent Future," the 2026 (19th) Beijing International Automobile Exhibition opened its doors on April 24, 2026. The show was held simultaneously at two venues: the China International Exhibition Center Shunyi Hall and the Capital International Convention and Exhibition Center.Unlike the fragmented safety marketing of the past, mainstream automakers at this year's show have collectively elevated safety to a core strategy at the vehicle architecture level. No longer content with merely adding airbags, radars, or high-strength steel to existing platforms, they are redefining the baseline of automotive safety through foundational electronic-electrical architectures, native electric powertrain layouts, data encryption systems, and active intelligent protection. From native architecture safety to active intelligent protection, and from physical defense to cybersecurity, a clear industry trend has taken shape. Robust safety is no longer an optional line item on a specification sheet; it has become the "first principle" of a vehicle's underlying competitiveness.
