(Yicai) Nov. 5 -- The China International Import Expo, one of the biggest trade fairs in the country, opened in Shanghai today. Ahead of the opening, Yicai took a sneak peek at the much-anticipated Future Mobility exhibition area, which is one of this year’s highlights.

The eighth CIIE, which runs through Nov. 10 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, is shining the spotlight on emerging industries such as the low-altitude economy and humanoid robotics. Global leaders in next-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, and green, low-carbon innovation are here to put their latest achievements on display.

The E20, a passenger-carrying, vectored-thrust eVTOL aircraft, from Shanghai-based TCab Technology.

The LEU100 is the world’s first mid-sized eVTOL cargo drone and is intended for use in transport, emergency rescues, and disaster relief. Developed with much involvement from HRC, it integrates advanced carbon-fiber composite manufacturing to make it more lightweight.

The Inflync L600, an ”air limousine” for a pilot and five passengers. It has a 13.5-meter wingspan, 10-m body, and a maximum range of 600 kilometers. Its hybrid-extended-range, ducted-wing design allows for a cruising speed of 360 km/h and multiple takeoffs per charge, enabling versatile urban low-altitude travel.
