Starting in 2012, CIBE has had an ever growing number of exhibitors and professional visitors, an expending exhibition space and improved quality of exhibiting products, it states.Located at the New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) - and touted as the "leading trade fair in [the] bus and coach sector in China – the eight annual CIBE has a strong focus on showcasing industrial-leading innovations and technologies, while providing professional services towards not only domestic but international audiences, organisers claim.
Last year’s event held in November had a ‘Green Bus, Environment Friendly’ theme, attracting 256 exhibitors in the sectors of whole vehicles, bus components, charging facilities and intelligent transport.

It cites Yutong Bus Co., Ltd as stating, "Yutong Bus launched the ‘Bi-energy support Trolleybus’ at CIBE 2018, which is a collection of Yutong bus company's intelligent network technology. [The] Yutong T7 and the new generation of business travel vehicle CL6 have solved the demand of passenger companies for ‘higher level’ passengers’ transport. The launch of new products through CIBE was very successful."
