Beijing, November 2026. The 74th edition of the Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) will return to the Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center, Beijing, from 13 to 15 April 2026. Informed by legacy, ushering in transformation for a sustainable future, this edition reflects trends in technological advancement and cross-sector collaboration within the supply chain. With a focus on business growth and consolidating the industry’s resources, AMR brings together after-sales services, commercial vehicles and components, road transport, and smart logistics. The exhibition will feature a redesigned layout over 80,000 sqm, hosting over 1,300 domestic and international exhibitors. It aims to facilitate sourcing, information exchange, business services, and talent development, allowing enterprises to seize opportunities, identify new avenues for growth, and establish competitive advantages.
As China’s automotive ecosystem accelerates towards a cleaner and smarter future, driven by new energy vehicles, intelligent connectivity, and smart technologies, the aftermarket and road transport equipment sectors are reforming their business models. The widespread use of digital technologies has advanced vehicle inspection, repair and maintenance, systems for transportation, and supply chain management, making them more integrated, eco-friendly, and innovative. This edition of AMR will feature cutting-edge technologies and products from exhibitors that address new demands driven by such market changes.
Spotlighting new energy vehicle maintenance and repair opportunities
The growth in new energy vehicle ownership has transformed the automotive aftermarket in China, which accounts for over 10 percent of total cars in China as of June 2025[1]. This will increase the value of sectors such as electrical control systems diagnostics, battery inspection, and recycling. AMR will spotlight a comprehensive collection of repair and maintenance solutions that increase the efficiency of aftermarket services for these vehicles, providing a platform for collaboration within the supply chain, ensuring mutual success for stakeholders.
Traditional repair and maintenance businesses are continuing to evolve with the adoption of advanced digital diagnostic tools that enable more efficient services. Industry leaders will showcase innovations such as fully automated wheel hub repair machines, high-performance electric tools, and precision spray guns, all designed to help maintenance shops improve operations and increase revenue.
Mr Jichun Shen, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Anche Technologies Co Ltd, one confirmed exhibiting company, noted: “With the automobile inspection industry facing a crucial stage in its transformation, Anche is helping vehicle testing centres around China digitally transform through our smart inspection solutions. We hope to present these innovative services at AMR along with our new energy vehicle safety performance inspection systems, and explore a new mode of vehicle examination with our stakeholders.”
Unlocking growth for commercial vehicles and logistics throughout the value chain
The Commercial Vehicles & Road Transport Equipment zone will return, featuring intelligent connectivity, smart logistics, vehicle-infrastructure communication, and low-carbon transport. This zone will present innovative products focusing on systematic integration between drivers, vehicles, cargo, and infrastructure. Also on display will be advanced vehicle models, driving simulations, cargo fastening and logistics equipment, manual-loading accessories, unmanned delivery vehicles, and smart transport solutions.
Concurrent events in the zone include skills competitions for professional drivers, as well as presentations of the latest intelligent simulation equipment in training and safety management solutions. These competitions and demonstrations allow industry operators to gain hands-on experience and showcase their skillsets, while also bringing together transportation and logistics companies, further reinforcing the show’s role as a catalyst for business collaboration by uniting a relevant audience.
In addition, the Parts & Components sector will highlight commercial vehicle parts, addressing crucial requirements such as maintenance and replacement, performance upgrades, and energy-conservation requirements. In combination with the zone, this area will feature products like core parts manufacturing, entire vehicle units, and applications in smart transportation, creating a hub for cross-sector cooperation within the supply chain.
Mr Yibo Wen, Deputy General Manager of Marketing for Zhejiang Ironstamp Auto Parts Co Ltd, commented: “With the smart unmanned delivery vehicles sector expecting to grow rapidly, the ‘Last Mile Delivery’ concept is being implemented. Ironstamp has provided automated side door solutions to various unmanned delivery vehicle manufacturers. We aim to leverage AMR and scale up our automated door solutions within the commercial sector.”
Customisation and cultural experiences target new trends and younger consumers
As young car owners become the main consumer demographic, automobiles are now a medium for self-expression, leading to an increase in customisation products, auto care, and cultural experiences in the aftermarket. On this basis, the Accessories & Customising sector will display off-road vehicles, pick-up truck customisation kits, rescue gear, auto detailing solutions, and more. The sector will also cater to regional trends by featuring interior accessories, paddings, paint protection films, and more.
In addition, the exhibition will host the ‘National Creative Film Application Skills Competition’ to reflect the market’s change. These events will include skills training and product demonstrations through competitions, allowing aftermarket service and product suppliers to build partnerships with distributors and end-users.
Enabling market expansion and cross-border business development for domestic companies
As the premier automotive aftermarket show in the Asia Pacific region, AMR facilitates business networking and resource matching, fostering an international presence that includes overseas buyers from Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia. This in turn supports the market expansion efforts of domestic companies by creating opportunities for cross-border cooperation.
The show will also increase its international exposure through buyer invitations, overseas media promotion, and its global network, thereby bringing overseas procurers to the show and increasing the opportunities for partnerships. Various forums will also offer insights on market expansion into neighbouring countries.
The Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) is co-organised by China Automotive Maintenance Equipment Industry Association (CAMEIA), China Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (CAMRA), Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd (Sinomachint). The fair is one of the some 40 global events under Messe Frankfurt’s Mobility and Logistics sector.
