In response to the idea that most consumers will change their cars at the end of the year, various manufacturers have launched diversified offers to allow people who buy cars or other products on the spot to enjoy more benefits. The public does not need to pay more attention to the comparison of various manufacturers. The university visited the auto show and saw all the steam locomotives, electric motors and related products at one time.

President Deng-Maw of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology said that the development of the auto show has been quite great.
