The TARC Pavilion, showcasing Taiwan's advancements in smart mobility, was open until late April 2025 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.

During the 2025 E-Mobility Taiwan Exhibition, the Ministry of Economic Affairs presented 18 advanced R&D innovations, highlighting Taiwan's pivotal role in AI-integrated smart mobility.

Among the showcased innovations, both the autonomous driving system and the smart charging solution received the prestigious 2025 Edison Awards, underscoring Taiwan's commitment to innovation in this sector.

A standout product is the ET35, Taiwan's first mass-produced 3.5-ton intelligent electric commercial vehicle, developed by China Motor Corporation with over 90% locally sourced components.

The ET35 is equipped with ADAS Level 2, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and cloud-based data integration, which supports enterprise-level decarbonization efforts and is slated for mass production in the third quarter of 2025.

Additionally, an AI-powered smart charging solution was demonstrated in collaboration with Chung Hsing Bus Company, allowing for flexible charging based on battery levels and routes, resulting in a 30% reduction in operating costs and extended battery life.

The Industrial Technology Research Institute introduced the 'Smart Charging Management and Dispatch System,' which optimizes electric bus charging and dispatch to enhance smart city energy management.

A key feature of the showcased technologies is the 'Level 3 AI self-driving and cybersecurity integration' developed by the Automotive Research & Testing Center, involving major local companies like Elan, ASUS, and Chimei Automotive.

This system includes the world's first certified Level 3 autonomous electric bus under UN R157 regulation, which integrates AI for smart driving, intelligent cockpit monitoring, and robust cybersecurity.

The autonomous vehicle is designed to pull over and alert operators if the driver becomes unresponsive, with over-the-air update capabilities that enhance its cybersecurity.

The integrated system also offers advanced functionalities such as self-navigation, lane changing, and obstacle avoidance, along with real-time driver monitoring to ensure safety.

The showcase emphasized collaboration with 28 industry partners to promote real-world applications of research advancements in the smart vehicle sector.
