China’s first Off-Road Vehicle Development Seminar was held in Yichang’s Yuan’an County from October 30 to 31. Following the seminar, a working group was established to enhance the development of intelligent technology in the off-road vehicle industry.


More than 20 off-road vehicle manufacturers attended the seminar, including Great Wall Motors, Chery Automobile, Mengshi Technology Company, Hongqi, and Geely Commercial Vehicles. Domestic automobile and parts manufacturers, as well as scientific research institutions, were also present.

The seminar covered various new technologies and approaches for developing vehicles with robust off-road capabilities. Discussions included best practices in R&D, the advancement of all-terrain off-road technology for new energy vehicles, and the evaluation and standardization of research and development processes.

Yuan'an County features the only off-road all-terrain test site in the Asia-Pacific region, which participants of the seminar also visited. Additionally, it has hosted the Wuling Gorge Off-Road Race for many years.
