The Taipei International Auto Parts and Accessories Show (AMPA) is to be held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in halls 1 and 2 from Wednesday next week until April 28.
It is to feature 1,340 companies and 3,750 booths, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿協會) said yesterday.
Motor vehicle manufacturers, with annual revenue of more than US$100 million, such as Germany’s Paaschburg & Wunderlich GmbH, India’s Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd and Ashok Leyland, Italy’s Piaggio & C SpA, the Netherlands’ Geevers Auto Parts, the US’ Worldpac, Sri Lanka’s Ideal Choice (PVT) Ltd and Russia’s Velomotors Group are to attend the exhibition along with an expected 7,000 foreign buyers, said TAITRA, the event organizer.
“Taiwanese car components companies have been suffering from the US-China trade dispute, and our domestic vehicle manufacturers have also been performing poorly,” said Yu Wen-kuang (游文光), automotive electronics chairman for the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association.
TAITRA executive president Walter Yeh (葉明水) said that “Motorization, Electrization, Intelligentization” would be AMPA’s main theme.
“Autotronics systems, electronic vehicles and a well-rounded supply chain are not only the future, but also the way out for Taiwanese automobile companies,” Yeh said.
“The exhibition used to be just about displaying products, but this time we are focusing more on applications and solutions,” Yeh said.
Taiwanese automobile component manufacturers such as Tong Yang Group (東陽事業集團), Wieson Technologies (驊陞科技), headlight makers Depo Auto Parts Industry Co Ltd (帝寶工業), Sonar Auto Parts Co Ltd (秀山交通器材), Eagle Eyes Traffic Industrial Co Ltd (龍鋒企業), Mycarr Lighting Technology Co Ltd (新傑燈光), dashboard camera developer Mitac Digital Tenchology Corporation (神達數位), braking system maker Nan Hoang Traffic Instrument Co Ltd (南晃交通器材工業), German braking system manufacturer Gustav Magenwirth GmbH & Co, tire pressure monitor manufacturer Cub Elecparts Inc (為升電裝), consulting firm and self-driving shuttle bus designer 7Starlake Co Ltd (喜門史塔雷克) and FETC International Co (遠創智慧) would be attending the event, the organizers said.
“We aim to hold the most complete automobile components exhibition in Asia,” Yeh said.
The six-in-one show includes Taipei AMPA, Autotronics Taipei, the Taiwan Electric Vehicles Show and the Taiwan Intelligent Transportation Show, which are open to companies only. The Motorcycle Taiwan and Taiwan Car Tuning exhibitions are open to the public.
Leading Taiwanese bicycle brands Giant Manufacturing Co (巨大機械) and Merida Industry Co (美利達工業) on Sunday said that they have adopted measures to mitigate the impact of the tariff policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration. The US announced at the beginning of this month that it would impose a 20 percent tariff on imported goods made in Taiwan, effective on Thursday last week. The tariff would be added to other pre-existing most-favored-nation duties and industry-specific trade remedy levy, which would bring the overall tariff on Taiwan-made bicycles to between 25.5 percent and 31 percent. However, Giant did not seem too perturbed by the
AI SERVER DEMAND: ‘Overall industry demand continues to outpace supply and we are expanding capacity to meet it,’ the company’s chief executive officer said Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) yesterday reported that net profit last quarter rose 27 percent from the same quarter last year on the back of demand for cloud services and high-performance computing products. Net profit surged to NT$44.36 billion (US$1.48 billion) from NT$35.04 billion a year earlier. On a quarterly basis, net profit grew 5 percent from NT$42.1 billion. Earnings per share expanded to NT$3.19 from NT$2.53 a year earlier and NT$3.03 in the first quarter. However, a sharp appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar since early May has weighed on the company’s performance, Hon Hai chief financial officer David Huang (黃德才)
NVIDIA FACTOR: Shipments of AI servers powered by GB300 chips would undergo pilot runs this quarter, with small shipments possibly starting next quarter, it said Quanta Computer Inc (廣達), which supplies artificial intelligence (AI) servers powered by Nvidia Corp chips, yesterday said that AI servers are on track to account for 70 percent of its total server revenue this year, thanks to improved yield rates and a better learning curve for Nvidia’s GB300 chip-based servers. AI servers accounted for more than 60 percent of its total server revenue in the first half of this year, Quanta chief financial officer Elton Yang (楊俊烈) told an online conference. The company’s latest production learning curve of the AI servers powered by Nvidia’s GB200 chips has improved after overcoming key component
UNPRECEDENTED DEAL: The arrangement which also includes AMD risks invalidating the national security rationale for US export controls, an expert said Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) have agreed to pay 15 percent of their revenue from Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales to the US government in a deal to secure export licenses, an unusual arrangement that might unnerve both US companies and Beijing. Nvidia plans to share 15 percent of the revenue from sales of its H20 AI accelerator in China, a person familiar with the matter said. AMD is to deliver the same share from MI308 revenue, the person added, asking for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The arrangement reflects US President Donald Trump’s consistent effort to engineer
