In a groundbreaking shift, China’s automotive sector has evolved from a conventional manufacturing hub to a digital innovation pioneer. This transformation is redefining vehicle design, manufacturing processes, and their seamless integration into the expanding digital ecosystem. At the premiere TechNode BUZZ event on September 4th, Bill Russo, Founder & CEO of Automobility Ltd., shared his expert insights into China’s EV industry. Dive into the keynote address by Bill Russo through our featured video.

Key Highlights:

• “China has now 32% of the world’s automobile production coming from virtually nothing in 1990.  So that’s what’s happened in those 40 years is China has become one-third of every car made in the world with the capacity to produce half of the cars in the world.”

• “This is what Henry Ford taught us over 100 years ago.  If you can scale and mass produce the car, you can make it affordable.  If you can scale and mass produce the EV, you can make it affordable.  Nowhere else does that happen other than here.”

• “Their DNA is the car isn’t just an analog device driven by a driver. I don’t just sell to the driver. I sell to every set of eyeballs in that car. And it’s a data aggregator at scale. I can collect information about the movement, I can stream information, can create a moving living experience. The car becomes a living space, not just a conveyance device, right? That’s what the Internet economy is trying to do.”
