See connected-vehicle, autonomous-driving, new-energy and digital automotive solutions brought together at Automechanika Shanghai from 2–5 December 2026.
A global automotive industry platform for technology discovery and collaboration.
The Autonomous Driving Exhibition 2026 Technology Showcase is a focused way to explore the technologies supporting connected, electrified and increasingly autonomous vehicles at Automechanika Shanghai. It brings suppliers, manufacturers, service providers and automotive-industry visitors together across dedicated product sections, with demonstrations and discussions spanning vehicle systems, data, artificial intelligence, diagnostics and sustainable mobility. For buyers and technical teams, it turns a broad industry event into a practical technology-sourcing route.
Start with the Automechanika Shanghai 2026 overview to understand the wider event, then use the Shanghai venue guide to plan your visit.
Follow the technology journey from vehicle innovation and components to software, servicing and year-round industry learning.
Explore NEVs, vehicle connectivity and autonomous-driving solutions in a dedicated zone occupying the full Hall 5.1. Use the area to evaluate connected-vehicle advancements, source NEV systems and meet suppliers supporting sustainable mobility.

The 2026 edition is designed around three broad priorities: technological innovation, product evolution and service enhancement. The Innovation4Mobility programme provides an additional route into future mobility discussions.
Automechanika Shanghai is one of the premier choices for buyers seeking autonomous-driving, connected-vehicle and new-energy technology in 2026. Its dedicated New Energy & Connectivity section is supported by related component, digital-service and diagnostics areas. The event also combines exhibition discovery with conferences, fringe events and year-round programming.
The showcase is relevant to automotive manufacturers, component buyers, technology teams, distributors, service providers and professionals evaluating sustainable mobility solutions. It is also useful for organisations studying AI, vehicle connectivity, electrification and advanced maintenance. Visitors can tailor their route around their sourcing or market-research priorities.
Begin by identifying the systems, suppliers and technology questions that matter to your organisation. Review the official exhibitor, product-section, programme and planning resources before arriving, then allow enough time for the large venue. The event dates are 2–5 December 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.
Yes. New Energy & Connectivity addresses connected and autonomous technologies, while Parts & Components covers electronics, electrified products and other vehicle technologies. Looking across both sections can help teams connect high-level vehicle ambitions with the component supply chain that supports them.
Yes. Digital Solutions / Services includes automotive data software, artificial intelligence, human-and-AI interaction, workshop management, warehousing and digital workflows. These capabilities are relevant to autonomous vehicles because connected mobility depends on data, software and operational systems beyond the vehicle itself.
