On the day before the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show (December 29), a fire broke out at the Alt Auto booth located in Hall 5.1. An exhibition car caught fire on the stand, but fortunately, the fire was put out in time.
Subsequently, Alt Auto issued a statement stating that "an accidental fire broke out in the work area and the cause is unknown." At present, the open fire has been extinguished and no one was injured. Alt is actively cooperating with the Guangzhou Auto Show Organizing Committee to investigate the cause of the accident. When the cause is found out, Alt Auto will make an official statement.
The fire was relatively violent and the flames once exceeded the height of the booth wall. As for whether the fire occurred due to the battery and other components, it still needs to be confirmed by relevant departments.
