　　Forum themed on "green mobility, and intelligent transportation"

　　This year's Conference consisted of two major sections, a themed forum and a series of activities for two-wheeler fans. The forum themed on "green mobility, and intelligent transportation" was held on November 2; and the outdoor competition activities on November 3-5.

　　In his speech on the themes forum, Zhang Chonghe said the bicycle industry should seize the opportunity and ride with the trend to promote transformation and upgrading, shape new values, and stride into the new era of high-quality development.

　　Gao Yuyue, Deputy Secretary General of Guangzhou Municipal Government, pointed out that as a city that "puts industry first, bases the city on manufacturing", Guangzhou is one of China's main production bases of bicycle; its total 43 manufacturing enterprises account for 15.9% of Guangdong Province, and 0.8% of the country. A relative complete supply chain of the production has emerged in the city, covering all links of the chain from R&D, product design, spare parts production, whole bicycle production, inspection and testing, and sales, and is gradually extending bicycle races, bicycle tourism and other after-markets of the industry. The city's next step would be to accelerate the exploration of the innovative development of the industry.

　　Liu Suwen, Chairperson of China Bicycle Association, observed that a new round of technological revolution and industrial change has emerged, driving the strong rise of digital technology and promoting the in-depth integration of industries, which in turn created new opportunities and opened up new room for the better development of two-wheeler industry.

　　Relevant leaders of Huadu District Government gave introduction to Huadu's superior geographic and transport advantages, good business environment and industrial foundation, as well as the "one district, one city and one port" industrial new layout that the District is fully pursuing. The District has 10 above-scale bicycle and electric bicycle manufacturing enterprises, 8 national high-tech enterprises, 6 provincial "specialized, refined, differentiated, and innovative" small and medium-sized enterprises, and reports a total industry output value of about 852 million yuan for the period from January to September of 2023.

　　China's bicycle and electric bicycle industry, which has long been the world's top producer and seller in the industry, is approaching to a new stage of development and change. In 2022, the industry's total output value increased by 3% and realized profits grew more than 20% over previous year. Although continued rise in production costs reduced profit margin in 2023, but the data from January to August show that the above-scale companies in the industry continue to record slightly higher realized profit than the average level of light industry. What is more gratifying is that, at the historical time celebrating the 10th an anniversary of the launch of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and with the support of the favorite conditions brought by ASEAN Free Trade Area, China-Europe freight trains and other policies, bicycle and electric bicycle products from China are demonstrating to the world the desirable booming of China's bicycle and electric bicycle industry through exchanges promoted by trade and the platform based on two-wheel products.

　　The "Green Mobility and Intelligent Transportation" forum with the theme of "ride with the trend of the times and reshape the values of the industry" has three parts: the first one is "New Landscape, New Advantage and New Future", the second one is  "Industrial Revolution and Technological Innovation", and the third one is "Insight, Focus and Layout". From different perspectives and dimensions, the guests shared their insights on the current development of the industry, put forward suggestions on the current development of the industry, expressed their understanding of the future development of the industry, and discussed the development trends and key events of common concern to the industry, striving to promote the healthy and orderly development of the global bicycle and electric bicycle industry. The future development of the industry must be green; it should be an eternal topic and consensus of the industry . The entire forum was indeed passionate event full of academic thinking.
