SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's annual major auto shows have become a showcase for the rise of ever-cheaper, better-performing electric vehicles and more confident local brands in the world's biggest market for cars. But the Shanghai auto show opened on Wednesday amid deep industry-wide uncertainty over how the U.S.-China trade war could dampen demand and scramble supply chains as 100 more models launch into an already crowded market with more losers than winners. In a further complication, Chinese regulators signalled more and tougher scrutiny for smart-driving features that many automakers had seen as the next big thing in setting apart their cars from competitors just a week ago.

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the world’s largest producer of electric vehicle batteries, has unveiled an upgraded battery that promises an even longer range than rival BYD’s cutting-edge technology.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -More than 70 Chinese and international automotive brands will showcase more than 100 new or refreshed models at the Shanghai auto show this week, intensifying already cutthroat competition in the world's premier market for electric vehicles and hybrids. Top-selling Chinese brands such as BYD and Geely are expected to take centre stage at the show from April 23 to May 2, while foreign automakers such as Volkswagen, Nissan, Toyota and General Motors' Cadillac brand will also jostle for attention. As a years-long consumer price war in China drags on, next-generation automated-driving features have become the next front in the battle for vehicle sales and profits.
