On October 22, outside the Concierge Building of Shenzhen Denza Headquarters, a grand ceremony symbolizing China's luxury new energy brand entering the world stage - the launch ceremony of the first batch of officially designated APEC vehicles for "Shenzhen Takeoff China Denza" was held grandly.
In November 2026, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting will be held in Shenzhen. This is the third time that China has served as the host of the APEC meeting, and it is the first time that Shenzhen has hosted this world-class event. As an important part of meeting service guarantees, every detail of travel services is related to the country's image, and officially designated cars are regarded as the "first window" to showcase the intelligent manufacturing level and technological strength of the host country's automobile industry. This requires rigorous testing of product strength and a comprehensive consideration of the brand's comprehensive strength.
BYD has become the official partner of the 2026 APEC meeting, and Denza Motors will provide this travel service. Denza Motors will provide nearly 700 vehicles for the APEC meeting to fully guarantee conference travel, of which Denza D9 alone will reach more than 600 units, providing high-standard travel services for senior officials, delegations from 21 economies, and mainstream media at home and abroad. This first launch ceremony not only announced that Denza Motors has fully entered the "APEC time", but also the highest recognition of the strength of the second-generation Denza D9 product. It also marked that the Chinese luxury new energy vehicle brand once again stood in the "C position" of serving world-class diplomatic events.
At the launch ceremony, Li Hui, general manager of Denza Motors, said: "World major events are driven by Denza. It has never been a slogan, but a hard power that has been tested by international events. Today, cars made in Shenzhen are welcoming the international events hosted by Shenzhen. This is not only Shenzhen's green answer to the world, but also a footnote to the era of the upward development of China's automobile industry - Shenzhen takes off, China takes off!"
The choice of a vehicle for world-class political and business conferences not only tests the product strength of the vehicle itself, but also focuses on whether the brand has mature international conference service experience and whether it has a broad user trust foundation.
The momentum of world events is never just a slogan. In 2026 alone, from the VIP reception at the Boao Forum for Asia to business commuting at the China-ASEAN Expo; from the ideological collision in summer Davos to green travel at the APEC Forestry Ministerial Meeting, Denza D9 has become a well-deserved "permanent guest" at top foreign affairs events.
Looking at the portraits of car owners, we can better understand why APEC chose Denza D9. From Hong Kong's Financial Secretary to Hong Kong Sino Group Chairman Huang Yongguang, from Chinese music superstar Wang Leehom to world billiards champion Pan Xiaoting, from political and business leaders to cultural and sports elites, more than 350,000 high-net-worth users voted in real money, demonstrating that the product is widely recognized by the market. When many elites of the era who are accustomed to millions of cars choose Denza D9 as their first choice for daily travel, the second-generation Denza D9 serving APEC VIPs is no longer a "cross-border challenge", but a natural fulfillment of its strength.
The second-generation Denza D9 stands out because of its all-round breakthroughs in energy replenishment, space, reliability, intelligence, safety and comfort. In terms of energy replenishment efficiency, it is equipped with the second-generation blade battery and flash charging technology. It can be fully charged in 5 minutes and fully charged in 9 minutes. It only takes 3 minutes more at minus 30 degrees Celsius, which can easily cope with the high-frequency and continuous driving rhythm during meetings. In terms of safety, the 75% high-strength steel body is equipped with 9 airbags, cross wind stabilization iCWC, and high-speed tire blowout stability control. In the cockpit, the AI intelligent agent "Didi Shrimp" allows the interaction to evolve from "obedient" to "understanding you"; the 15-layer semi-aniline leather cloud velvet seats are equipped with 16-point massage, and the dual-valve Cloud-C road preview 2.0 is superimposed, allowing VIPs to relieve their fatigue as soon as they sit down.
The 2026 APEC meeting will be held in Shenzhen, which is of special significance. Shenzhen is an important window for China's reform and opening up, and is also an important city in the global new energy vehicle industry chain and technological innovation. It has given birth to many Chinese technology companies and has witnessed the key process of China's new energy automobile industry from catching up to leading.
Today, the second-generation Denza D9 appears at a world-class conference as the official APEC car. For the Denza brand, it is an important leap in the brand's high-end and global image; for the Chinese automobile industry, it is a concentrated expression of the entry of new energy and intelligent achievements into the international concierge scene, indicating that Chinese automobiles are being seen by the world in a higher-end, smarter, and more brand-valuable way.
From "Made in China" to "Intelligent Made in China", from "products going overseas" to "brands going overseas". The second-generation Denza D9, known as the "car for state guests", escorts the diplomatic path of major countries. Behind this is the rise in the overall strength of China's new energy automobile industry, and it is also a major debut for Shenzhen Intelligent Manufacturing, Chinese brands, and Chinese luxury to jointly enter the world stage.
