Roughly 1,000 Chinese enterprises will showcase their products in an exhibition to be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center from Wednesday through Sunday.
A key event of the 2023 China Brand Day, which falls on Wednesday, the exhibition is aimed at highlighting the vitality that Chinese brands possess today.
Within the exhibition zone for Shanghai enterprises, around 30 businesses will showcase products and services related to the green and low-carbon, metaverse, and intelligent terminal industries.
Shanghai Westwell Information and Technology Co, a fast-growing enterprise renowned for its full-stack intelligent port solutions and driverless container trucks, will exhibit its independently developed Q-Truck, the world's first fully autonomous, driverless new energy commercial vehicle.
"Even under harsh weather and complex road conditions, Q-Truck can complete transportation tasks around the clock non-stop, thus freeing people from intensive, long-term, and high-risk driving operations, and provide intelligent, safe, and adaptive unmanned driving," said Hu Hongyuan, deputy general manager of the strategic development center of Westwell.
The company said that compared with diesel vehicles, the new energy Q-Truck will result in a reduction of 10.7 metric tons of carbon emissions annually as well as energy and vehicle maintenance cost savings of 100,000 yuan ($14,453).
