FRANKFURT, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Chinese automakers are much more visible at this year's International Motor Show (IAA) here, with several brands bringing dazzling new cars and concept cars equipped with trending technologies on the first press day.
About 800 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions registered for the IAA 2019, which will officially open on Thursday and lasts until Sept. 22. China, with 79 companies attending the show, holds the first place among the international exhibitors.
Chinese car makers Hongqi, Great Wall Motors, and startup Byton all held events on Tuesday revealing their new cars, mostly in the premium segment.
China's iconic sedan brand Hongqi, under China's leading automaker FAW Group, showcased its first self-designed and self-made supercar S9 and all-electric SUV concept E115.
It was the brand's first appearance at an overseas motor show in almost six decades. Hongqi has set out on a new journey with a brand-new strategy and vision to create a 'good life and good mobility' for customers in China and elsewhere, Xu Liuping, chairman of the FAW Group said at the press conference.
