Sharing technology and knowledge is a key characteristic that sets the automobile sector apart.

Mobility is a basic requirement in the modern society. Even with the development of video conferencing and public transportation, experiencing a location or having a conversation in person has its own advantages and charm. Owning a car is one of the most cherished goals, second only to owning a home.

Every participating brand at the Auto Expo 2023 had at least one electric vehicle, either in concept or production form, making electric mobility the clear focal point of the event. Let us look at some of the top electric vehicles introduced and displayed at the Auto Expo in this article.
