Ms Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, expressed: “Firstly, to all our exhibitors, visitors, the media and supporting organisations, it is a delight to welcome you back to Automechanika Shanghai. As the first Automechanika event of 2023, we are incredibly optimistic about the year ahead. During the last two years, we have witnessed an accelerated rate of transformation, with many companies now looking to embrace new drive systems, eco-friendly fuels and higher levels of connectivity. With this, I am sure that resources at the fairground will answer many of the questions in the market.”
Ms Li Zhang, General Manager of China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd, said: “Efficiency in the global automotive supply chain should pick up with manufacturing across China resuming. The growth and development will promote export activities and the circulation of automotive goods in the domestic market. From this standpoint, we are very encouraged by the overseas and domestic participation as the return of Automechanika Shanghai indicates positive steps towards restabilising networks for global trade between China and the rest of the world. We will continue offering high-quality services to support world-leading industry advancement.”
To cater to the unique needs across the automotive supply chain, Automechanika Shanghai continues to offer full coverage of seven sectors and debuts the Innovation4Mobility Showcase. The theme will draw upon numerous resources to promote transformation, sustainability and technological upgrade in pockets of the industry with high growth potential. In this regard, the Innovation4Mobility Mainstage, Green Repair Zone, A New Era of Commercial Vehicles, Motorsports & High Performance areas will feature a collection of home-grown innovators and overseas visionaries from production to the aftermarket.
Throughout the fairground, a number of new and returning exhibitors include leaders like ABT, Autel, AUTOBACS, Baturu, Carzone, CELETTE, CHAOLI, China Changan, Chuhang Technology, Continental, CRRC, CSIC, Dali, Doublestar, FAW, FAWER, Festool, Kuaishou, KZMALL, mancando, PSA, Riyong-JEA, SAIC MOTOR, Sensata, Shuangxing, SORL, Tianjin Nisseki, TIANRUN, TotalEnergies, TOYOTA BOSHOKU (CHINA), VIE, Wanli, and Zynp Group, to name a few.
Re-establishing global supply networks
From a domestic standpoint, the participation of brands across five of China’s important automotive manufacturing clusters also signals a keen desire from the local market to engage in trade and technical exchanges at the show. Pavilions organised by local governments and associations from Foshan, Hubei, Sichuan, Wuxi, and more will demonstrate different regional capabilities in efforts to create distribution channels beyond their local hubs.
Automechanika Shanghai also leverages Shenzhen’s advantages as China’s innovation capital by expanding the number of regional trade associations it works closely with in the electric-power field. For example, the Shenzhen Automotive Electronics Industry Association is set to bring their members to the show, while the Shenzhen New Energy Vehicle Industry Association (collaborating for the first time) has also lined up exhibitors and speakers at Innovation4Mobility events.
At the same time, the fair welcomes exhibitors from 19 countries and regions, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Türkiye, the UAE, the UK and the US.
In addition, more than 90 domestic buyer groups will descend onto the fairground to explore the latest parts, technologies and services in electronics and connectivity, accessories, repair and maintenance, commercial vehicle and tyre sectors. The groups mainly cover Fujian, Guangdong, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. In addition, buyer delegations from countries and regions like Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Pakistan and the Philippines have also landed in Shenzhen. The buyers are set to take part in the business matching activities organised by the Premium Buyers Club.
