Taking multi-pronged measures to restore consumer confidence
With the slow recovery of the auto industry economy, CDMS 2022, as a barometer of the auto industry in the central and western part of China, will take multi-pronged measures to organize various consumption promotion activities and thus help to stabilize and improve the economy.

Amid all-round efforts to boost the market consumption, the organizing committee of CDMS 2022 cooperates with auto brands and manufacturers to offer preferential price all over the year. Besides combining the “government-enterprise” preferential plans to benefit the consumers, the organizing committee will also launch activities such as new car test driving and cash-back lottery for car purchase. Together with the policies for halving the purchase tax and other subsidies, new vitality will be injected into consumption, greatly benefit the consumers, and comprehensively promote the recovery of the auto consumption market.

NEV brands usher in the“year of booming development”
With the surge of market sales and penetration, new energy has undoubtedly emerged as the hottest topic in the auto industry this year. At the CDMS 2022, the proportion of new energy brands hits a new high, spreading over two pavilions and reflecting the boom of the new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
