The automotive and sustainability fair - organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) and the China National Machinery Industry International (Sinomachint) - will run until 5 December, covering over 350,000 sqm and 14 halls of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
At the event press conference on the opening day Li Zhang, general manager of China National Machinery Industry International, stated: “Driven by sustainability, connectivity, autonomous driving, battery charging and swapping, the automotive industry in China is growing exponentially. This has resulted in the production and sales of new energy vehicles accounting for more than 60% of the world’s total. China’s strength within the industry is reflected through the variety of international players at Automechanika Shanghai 2024, who have travelled to view the latest innovations from this market and share advancements from their countries.”
Fiona Chiew, general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK), added: “The automotive sector has developed into a key pillar of China’s economic growth and Automechanika Shanghai has grown alongside it over the last 20 years. Previously, the show was a platform for Chinese companies to learn about advancements in the overseas automotive markets. It has since become an opportunity for the world to engage with the latest developments in the market. Just as China has taken the lead in green practices, so has Automechanika Shanghai, not only with its eco-friendly back of house processes, but also through the exhibitors and speakers across various sectors, Innovation4Mobility Showcase Areas, and over 80 fringe programme events.”
The 2024 edition of the show will see its largest participation yet, with a substantial number of exhibitors, speakers, and fringe programme events setting the scene for a week of collaboration, learning and innovation. Industry leading brands and manufacturers are set to display their latest products shaping the industry throughout the fairground.
