Shanghai, China — Automechanika Shanghai 2024 opened its doors today with a record-breaking 6,763 exhibitors, an increase of 20 percent compared to last year’s event, including 17 overseas country and region pavilions for its 20th anniversary. This year’s fringe program is the show’s largest to date, with over 81 events paving the way for networking, information exchange, education, and training opportunities. The fair will run until December 5th, covering over 350,000 sqm and 14 halls of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
“The automotive sector has developed into a key pillar of China’s economic growth and Automechanika Shanghai has grown alongside it over the last 20 years. Previously, the show was a platform for Chinese companies to learn about advancements in the overseas automotive markets. It has since become an opportunity for the world to engage with the latest developments in the market,” said Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt. ‘Just as China has taken the lead in green practices, so has Automechanika Shanghai, not only with its eco-friendly back-of-house processes, but also through the exhibitors and speakers across various sectors, Innovation4Mobility Showcase Areas, and over 80 fringe programme events.”
The 2024 edition of the show will see its largest participation yet, with a substantial number of exhibitors, speakers, and fringe programme events setting the scene for a week of collaboration, learning and innovation. Industry-leading brands and manufacturers are set to display their latest products shaping the industry throughout the fairground.
Some of these key exhibitors include Bosch, which is highlighting environmentally friendly initiatives such as packaging materials, remanufactured parts, old parts recycling, and talent development; ZF, which is showcasing new solutions in remanufacturing and diagnostics, including the ZF [pro]Diagnostics SmartCheck 001 system; PHINIA, whose booth features hydrogen fuel cell technology, hydrogen internal combustion engine GDi technology, and the Hartridge diesel fuel system testing equipment; SDS, which is showcasing electric drive system products; and Henglong Group, debuting with steering system products with advanced functions for intelligent driving.
Exhibitors and buyer groups representing every sector and region
The globalization of the industry and the influence of China’s market is reflected through the show’s 17 overseas country and region pavilions, accounting for 290 exhibitors.
