At the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, Alt Auto announced the cause of the fire at its booth. According to the incident, 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. Nowthe specific statement is as follows:

After preliminary investigation, during the vehicle preparation process, the debugging personnel disconnected the external power switch and then got on the vehicle for debugging. The logistics personnel turned on the external power switch without knowing it, causing the debugging personnel to operate with power on, causing an electrical short circuit and causing a fire. The vehicle at the site of the fire is a static concept exhibition car. During the preparation process, the high-voltage power system has been removed, leaving only a 12V low-voltage power supply system.

After the accident, with the efforts of all parties, the fire was quickly controlled and extinguished, without causing any major losses to people or property. At the same time, Alt immediately actively cooperated with fire protection, public security and other relevant departments to conduct in-depth investigation and analysis.

With the efforts of the company and various relevant departments, Alt successfully held the auto show press conference yesterday and opened the exhibition normally. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience this accident has caused to our friends and participants. At the same time, I am very grateful to friends and businessmen and people from all walks of life for their understanding, support and help to Alt. Everyone is welcome to visit.
