The Centre, established with funding from the HKSAR Government, helps Hong Kong automotive parts manufacturers tap the vast Mainland market opportunities arising from the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which exempts certain auto and auto-related parts and accessories made by Hong Kong-established companies from Mainland import tariffs.
The Centre provides a physical establishment to undertake market-led R&D programmes for the auto parts industry and commercialize the R&D results with the collaboration of industry, universities and technology institutes. In addition, it provides support services on product design, quality systems and technical skills with reference to international requirements.
