Find the products, technical expertise and partnerships needed to develop better customised vehicles without navigating a fragmented aftermarket.
A car customisation exhibition brings together suppliers, workshops, vehicle manufacturers, dealers and technical specialists working on vehicle personalisation and performance. At Automechanika Shanghai, the focus extends beyond cosmetic accessories to include engine and transmission components, safety systems, interior and exterior modifications, diagnostics, body and paint, and digital aftermarket services. The result is a practical place to compare solutions, exchange know-how and build commercial partnerships across the automotive value chain.
The 2026 show takes place from 2 to 5 December at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), giving customisation businesses access to a broad international automotive platform.
The strongest route through the show is to connect the visible customisation opportunity with the technical systems, service capabilities and partnerships that make it commercially viable.
Explore technical components for engines and transmissions, safety systems, and interior and exterior modifications. This section connects vehicle personalisation with OEMs, 4S groups, dealers, racing teams, auto clubs and performance communities.
