The Taipei International Auto Parts and Accessories Show (Taipei AMPA), the Taipei International Automobile Electronics Show (Autotronics Taipei) and the 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan exhibition jointly opened yesterday at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center’s Hall 1, featuring electric vehicles along with components and assemblies.
The three trade shows have drawn about 1,000 domestic and foreign exhibitors from 19 countries, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿協會) said in a statement.
Themed “360° Mobility,” the exhibitions are aimed at highlighting the automobile, motorcycle and smart mobility ecosystem, and offering a platform for potential buyers and exhibitors to connect, event organizers said in the statement.

One of the featured exhibitors is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), which is showcasing its new Model N electric cargo van prototype and the Model B personalized urban car, as well as components and parts used in the power systems of its Model T commercial bus model.
Shihlin Electric & Engineering Corp (士林電機), Pacific Electric Wire and Cable Co (太平洋電線電纜) and Texas Instruments Inc are featuring their power systems for electric vehicles.
Shihlin Electric is displaying two powertrain systems for electric vehicles for commercial logistics use and a four-in-one e-bike system.
One of the powertrains is a two-in-one system that has maximum power of 150 kilowatts (kW), enough for 5 tonne logistics vehicles, while the other is a new 13kW powertrain system used for three-wheel logistics vehicles, the company said.
Also at the event, Master Transportation Bus Manufacturing (成運汽車) is unveiling its self-developed direct-drive central motor, which can achieve peak power of 450kW, and an electric bus equipped with 218 kilowatt hours of battery capacity.
Master Transportation chairman Wu Ding-fa (吳定發) said the motor would be available from the second half of this year.
Other companies displaying their products at the shows, which run until Saturday, include aftermarket lighting supplier Coplus Inc (巨鎧精密), and vehicle parts and accessories suppliers Tong Yang Group (東陽集團), Depo Auto Parts Industrial Co (帝寶工業) and TW Racing Parts Inc (琦玉國際).
With this year’s Semicon Taiwan trade show set to kick off on Wednesday, market attention has turned to the mass production of advanced packaging technologies and capacity expansion in Taiwan and the US. With traditional scaling reaching physical limits, heterogeneous integration and packaging technologies have emerged as key solutions. Surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips has put technologies such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), integrated fan-out (InFO), system on integrated chips (SoIC), 3D IC and fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) at the center of semiconductor innovation, making them a major focus at this year’s trade show, according
SEMICONDUCTOR SERVICES: A company executive said that Taiwanese firms must think about how to participate in global supply chains and lift their competitiveness Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday said it expects to launch its first multifunctional service center in Pingtung County in the middle of 2027, in a bid to foster a resilient high-tech facility construction ecosystem. TSMC broached the idea of creating a center two or three years ago when it started building new manufacturing capacity in the US and Japan, the company said. The center, dubbed an “ecosystem park,” would assist local manufacturing facility construction partners to upgrade their capabilities and secure more deals from other global chipmakers such as Intel Corp, Micron Technology Inc and Infineon Technologies AG, TSMC said. It
DEBUT: The trade show is to feature 17 national pavilions, a new high for the event, including from Canada, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Sweden and Vietnam for the first time The Semicon Taiwan trade show, which opens on Wednesday, is expected to see a new high in the number of exhibitors and visitors from around the world, said its organizer, SEMI, which has described the annual event as the “Olympics of the semiconductor industry.” SEMI, which represents companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, and touts the annual exhibition as the most influential semiconductor trade show in the world, said more than 1,200 enterprises from 56 countries are to showcase their innovations across more than 4,100 booths, and that the event could attract 100,000 visitors. This year’s event features 17
EXPORT GROWTH: The AI boom has shortened chip cycles to just one year, putting pressure on chipmakers to accelerate development and expand packaging capacity Developing a localized supply chain for advanced packaging equipment is critical for keeping pace with customers’ increasingly shrinking time-to-market cycles for new artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) said yesterday. Spurred on by the AI revolution, customers are accelerating product upgrades to nearly every year, compared with the two to three-year development cadence in the past, TSMC vice president of advanced packaging technology and service Jun He (何軍) said at a 3D IC Global Summit organized by SEMI in Taipei. These shortened cycles put heavy pressure on chipmakers, as the entire process — from chip design to mass
