On Thursday, the 2025 International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo (Hong Kong) was held at the AsiaWorld-Expo. With the theme of "New Cars, New Journey," this year's Hong Kong Motor Expo has set a number of records such as the largest scale in the history of Hong Kong Motor Exhibitions and the highest participation of Chinese mainland auto companies in overseas auto shows. At this year's Hong Kong Auto Expo, Autohome demonstrated its clear positioning as the "new engine" of the globalization of China's auto industry.

Yang Song, CEO of Autohome, said at the Hong Kong Auto Expo, "As a key participant in the automotive industry ecosystem, we will rely on the core driving force of 'data + technology + ecology' to build a global comprehensive automotive service platform that is the best choice for Chinese brands to go overseas, and help China's intelligent manufacturing win the recognition and trust of global consumers." 

Autohome will help Chinese brands go overseas by "breaking the wall online" and "taking root offline." "Online wall breaking" refers to the fact that Autohome has built a global automotive content hub by covering overseas platforms, breaking down the cognitive barriers of Chinese brands in overseas markets with high-quality content that includes professional evaluation and technical interpretation, and creating international influence for "Made in China." The "offline roots" means that the "Autohome Space Store" has been implemented in 33 cities in China, and plans to expand to Europe, South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and other markets. From vehicle logistics to overseas after-sales, Autohome integrates financial, warehousing, and technical service resources to escort the whole chain, forming a unique ecological paradigm for China's automobiles going overseas.

At this year's Hong Kong Auto Expo, Autohome showcased three AI hardcore achievements: an "AI Intelligent Assistant," Digital consultant "AI Buyer" and Immersive Automotive VR film.  Among them, "AI Buyer," a strategic product of the Autohome Space Store, realizes the breakthrough integration of multi-modal large models and ultra-high-definition real-time 3D rendering technology. Through spatial audio, Autohome creates a digital human consultant with emotional interaction capabilities, subverting the traditional image and text price comparison model and creating a "holographic dialogue" immersive car viewing experience for users.

As a supporter of the digital transformation and globalization of China's automotive industry, Autohome hopes to become an automotive ecological technology company serving the world. Autohome will continue to deepen its online and offline collaborative layout, build a full-chain overseas solution covering vehicle procurement, one-stop vehicle logistics, parts supply and after-sales service, and deeply integrate AI technology with automobile consumption scenarios to comprehensively help Chinese auto brands explore the international market.
