Yibin Event to Highlight Technology Innovation, International Growth, and Future Mobility Plans
As the global automotive industry accelerates toward electrification and intelligent transportation, KAIYI Auto is preparing to strengthen its international presence through a new phase of strategic growth. The company’s 2026 Global Business Conference is scheduled for April 27 in Yibin, where distributors, industry professionals, media representatives, and business partners will gather to explore the brand’s future direction.
The conference is expected to provide a detailed look at KAIYI’s evolving strategy, including advancements in technology, product planning, manufacturing capabilities, and global market expansion. More than a yearly business meeting, the event reflects the company’s ambition to establish a stronger position within the rapidly changing automotive landscape.
Expanding International Reach Through Long-Term Investment
Over recent years, KAIYI Auto has focused on building a solid platform for international development. By strengthening production capabilities, investing in research, and expanding overseas partnerships, the company has laid the groundwork for sustainable global growth.
In 2025, KAIYI achieved a 233% year-over-year increase in export volume, making it one of the fastest-growing Chinese automotive brands in foreign markets. The company’s footprint now extends across 54 countries and regions, supported by 57 international partners and close to 500 sales and service outlets worldwide. Its global customer base has surpassed 400,000 users.
Innovation remains central to KAIYI’s strategy. The company currently holds 639 patents and has built research collaborations with leading institutions. Joint laboratories have been created alongside the research team led by Ouyang Minggao and Sichuan University to support advancements in automotive technology.
KAIYI has also established an intelligent connectivity innovation center in Chengdu, dedicated to accelerating the development of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle technologies.
Manufacturing Infrastructure Supporting Global Ambitions
A major pillar of KAIYI’s international strategy is its advanced manufacturing ecosystem. The company’s smart production facility in Yibin is capable of producing up to 250,000 vehicles annually, using digitally integrated systems that manage every phase of manufacturing, including stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly.
To ensure quality and performance, KAIYI collaborates with globally recognized suppliers such as Bosch and Continental. These partnerships contribute to a complete quality management system that connects component sourcing with finished vehicle production.
The company also benefits from a joint venture structure that combines regional government support with automotive industry expertise. Leveraging Yibin’s role as an important battery manufacturing hub and engineering collaboration from Chery Automobile, KAIYI has built a scalable industrial framework designed for long-term expansion.
Adapting to a Changing Automotive Market
The automotive sector is entering a period of significant transformation driven by electric mobility, connected technologies, and intelligent driving systems. As consumer demand evolves, Chinese automotive manufacturers are gaining stronger recognition in international markets.
However, expanding globally requires more than manufacturing strength. Automakers must also respond to economic uncertainty, local regulations, and diverse customer expectations across regions.
Companies that can successfully combine innovation, operational efficiency, and localized strategies are likely to emerge as leaders in this competitive environment.
KAIYI’s growth model reflects these realities, focusing on technology-driven development, strong industrial capabilities, and flexible global operations.
A Defining Moment for the Brand’s Future
The 2026 Global Business Conference will offer a closer look at KAIYI’s plans for new energy vehicles, dealer network expansion, and international business development.
For KAIYI, the event represents more than a review of accomplishments. It serves as a platform to outline the company’s next stage of evolution as it seeks to strengthen its reputation beyond domestic markets.
Through continued investment in innovation, manufacturing, and global partnerships, KAIYI aims to transition from a regional automotive producer into a competitive international mobility brand.
As the global industry continues to evolve, the company’s ability to innovate and adapt will determine its long-term success.
The upcoming conference in Yibin is expected to provide a clearer picture of KAIYI’s vision for the future.
