Shanghai International Automobile City Group is the premier automotive industry cluster in China, located in Anting Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. We are an economic development corporation that has influenced products and solutions throughout China's automotive industry. We are the first city in China to be host to the entire automotive industry chain, and the host to the first joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen. Anting is also the first international EV pilot city and host to the first Formula-1 International Circuit in China
In 2016, we opened the National Intelligent Connected Vehicle Pilot Demonstration Zone (called A NICE CITY), the first intelligent and connected vehicle testbed in China. We are a key voice in China's intelligent connected vehicle industry and the transformation of the auto industry. Last year, we were the first national testbed to award licenses to both domestic and international companies to test on our public roads in Anting. Our vision is to turn the entire 100 sq km area of Anting into a smart city that both tests and operates self-driving vehicles. As the vehicle becomes more intelligent, transportation improves and our city is smarter
