Compare NEV systems, connectivity, customisation, parts, diagnostics and digital services across one of Asia’s leading automotive industry platforms.
Explore new-energy, connected-vehicle and aftermarket opportunities at Automechanika Shanghai 2026.
The NEV Customisation Solutions & Aftermarket Expo is a practical way to navigate the connected ecosystem presented at Automechanika Shanghai 2026. It brings together new-energy and connectivity technologies, customised vehicle systems, electrified components, repair equipment and digital services for manufacturers, distributors, workshops, dealers, service providers and mobility professionals. Instead of treating NEV innovation and aftermarket work as separate conversations, the platform connects them across the vehicle lifecycle.
Use the automotive aftermarket overview to understand the wider commercial context, then focus your visit on the product areas most relevant to your sourcing or partnership goals.
The strongest value comes from following a specific business problem through the right exhibition sections, supplier conversations and supporting events.
Hall 5.1 is dedicated to NEVs, vehicle connectivity and autonomous-driving advancements. It gives suppliers a focused setting to demonstrate sustainable mobility technologies and gives industry visitors a practical route to evaluate connected-vehicle systems.
Start with NEV connectivity solutions when your priority is electrification, intelligent vehicles or autonomous-driving capability.
This section covers technical components for engines and transmissions, safety systems, and interior and exterior modifications. It is designed for brands and solution providers building relationships with OEMs, 4S groups, dealers, racing teams and auto clubs.
For a modification programme, use customisation suppliers as a starting point for product discovery and channel development.
Meet suppliers working across engine electronics, electrified products and vehicle-production technologies. The section connects research and development, manufacturing and aftermarket applications, making it useful for teams comparing component sources.
Review electrified components if you need to assess parts for NEV production, maintenance or customisation projects.
Explore maintenance equipment, workshop tools, safety measures, remote diagnostic devices, data management, battery recycling and technical training. The mix helps repair businesses adapt skills, workflows and safety practices for electrified vehicles.
Use the workshop diagnostics pathway when upgrading service capability is central to your visit.
Evaluate digital platforms using internet services, big data and artificial intelligence across manufacturing, distribution and consumer-facing operations. Relevant applications include workshop management, warehousing, automotive data software, finance, insurance, used cars, commercial vehicles and human–AI interaction.
For operational modernisation, explore digital automotive services alongside the physical products on the show floor.
