The China-Malaysia Green and Smart Mobility Cooperation Center established its China base at Shanghai International Automobile City in Jiading district on Oct 26, marking a further step in bilateral cooperation in green and smart mobility.
The move follows a cooperation agreement signed by China EV100, Shanghai International Automobile City Group, and the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) at a strategic roundtable held on the opening day of the 2026 China-Malaysia Green and Smart Mobility Industry Cooperation Week.
The center will leverage the automobile city's industrial cluster, China EV100's international industry network and MARii's local resources to promote cooperation in new energy vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles.
The cooperation week also featured an industry forum focused on new energy vehicles, smart energy infrastructure, intelligent connected vehicles, and smart cities, with an emphasis on opportunities in the ASEAN market.
At a matchmaking session, 15 Malaysian suppliers presented their cooperation needs in automotive and smart manufacturing, smart transportation and digital infrastructure, and smart energy. They then held one-on-one meetings with their Chinese counterparts to explore potential partnerships.
During the three-day program, the Malaysian delegation will also visit leading companies in the automobile city to learn about their R&D systems and industry practices, and explore opportunities for technical and industrial collaboration.
