Approximately 4,820 exhibitors are expected at the world's leading international trade fair in its field, Automechanika Frankfurt. They work in fields covering equipment, components, accessories, management and services. Around 1,000 of them supply parts for commercial and freight vehicles. The event will take place from Sept. 13-17. It has achieved growth not only in terms of exhibitors, but also in terms of the level of international participation. Companies from a total of 76 different countries will be presenting themselves and their products to a huge international trade and professional public from the wholesale and retail trades, from industry and from the workshop sector.
Detlef Braun, president and CEO of Messe Frankfurt, says of the role of the show as a barometer for the sector: “The top position of the motor vehicle industry and the motor vehicle retail trade is reflected in a new record for levels of participation in Automechanika in Frankfurt.”
The major topics covered by this year's show include concepts of mobility and modes of transport in the future and the corresponding services and workshop solutions, together with the Innovation Awards and initial and further training. Detlef Braun summarises as follows: “The entire motor-vehicle trade is keeping a weather-eye open. Many of our customers, who work in the field of motor-vehicle parts, the retail trade and the workshop industry, are here to get to grips with new products and new areas of business. Here in Frankfurt, over the next few days, the whole world will be presenting its solutions and innovations in response to the increased networking and digitalization of vehicles.”
The Frankfurt Festhalle will become a 'laboratory of the future' at Automechanika Frankfurt. Visitors to the trade fair can expect a pyrotechnic display of innovation and pioneering ideas for both individual mobility and freight transport, in both private cars and commercial vehicles. The companies come from the components industry, the workshop equipment sector, software development, vehicle manufacture and the development and marketing of accessories, as well as from the energy business and the transport and logistics trades. Key areas of focus in the exhibition include e-mobility, telematic systems and solutions for internal and external networking of vehicles, with also apps and software solutions for vehicle networking, for intelligent traffic control and applications for effective fleet management.
