Find equipment, diagnostics, digital workflows, parts connections and EV-readiness expertise at Automechanika Shanghai 2026.
A practical route from workshop challenges to supplier conversations
An automotive workshop owner trade show brings repair-business decision makers together with equipment providers, parts suppliers, software companies and technical experts. Automechanika Shanghai 2026 gives workshop owners a single place to evaluate tools, modern diagnostics, repair data, safety practices, technician training and electric-vehicle servicing solutions. It is designed to help businesses turn changing vehicle technology into practical workshop capability.
Start with workshop diagnostics when you need to improve repair accuracy, then connect those decisions to software, parts availability and technician development.
Five connected product areas help owners investigate equipment purchases and operating improvements without treating the workshop as a collection of isolated tasks.
Evaluate vehicle-maintenance equipment, workshop tools, body-and-paint solutions and safety measures. The section also covers remote diagnostic devices, repair-data management, battery recycling and technical solutions for electrified-vehicle servicing.
Explore repair equipment
Look for workshop and mechanic-management platforms, automotive data software, internet-enabled services, big-data applications and AI. These solutions can connect workshop administration with distribution, warehousing, finance, insurance and commercial-vehicle operations.
Compare digital workflows
Meet suppliers of automotive components, engine electronics, electrified products and other technologies relevant to aftermarket repairs. Workshop owners can assess component applications, identify supply-chain connections and improve parts availability.
Plan parts sourcing
Prepare for new-energy vehicles, connected-vehicle systems and autonomous-driving technologies. The expanded section occupies Hall 5.1 and gives owners a focused place to investigate NEV servicing requirements and supplier solutions.
Build EV readiness
Source technical components for engines and transmissions, vehicle safety systems and interior or exterior modifications. This area can support relationships with dealers, 4S groups, racing teams and auto clubs.
Explore customising solutionsEvaluate workshop equipment against real maintenance requirements.
Modernise repair-data and workshop-management workflows.

New Energy & Connectivity sector
Yes. The show includes diagnostics and repair, body and paint, digital solutions, parts and components, new energy, connectivity, and customising. These areas map directly to common workshop decisions such as equipment upgrades, technician capability, repair-data management and EV servicing. Owners can also use the programme and exhibitor search to focus their visit before arriving.
Begin with a short list of operational gaps, such as diagnostic capacity, workshop safety, parts availability or EV readiness. Review the official exhibitor and product sections, programme information and planning resources before the show. Bring specific questions about compatibility, training, data workflows and follow-up support so supplier meetings remain practical.
The Digital Solutions / Services area covers workshop and mechanic-management platforms, automotive data software, internet-enabled services, big-data applications and artificial intelligence. Its scope also reaches supply chains, distribution, warehousing, finance, insurance and commercial vehicles. Owners should use the area to investigate how digital tools could connect administration, repair information and wider operations.
Automechanika Shanghai includes New Energy & Connectivity solutions covering new-energy vehicles, connected-vehicle systems and autonomous-driving technologies. The expanded section is identified as the full Hall 5.1, giving visitors a dedicated area for supplier conversations. Diagnostics, battery recycling, electrified components and technician training are also relevant to a workshop’s EV-readiness planning.
