The 74th edition of the Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) is set to take place from 13 to 15 April 2026 at the Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center, spanning 80,000 square meters. As a comprehensive platform for the automotive aftermarket, the expo will combine trade, information exchange, and talent development, with more than 1,350 exhibitors showcasing advanced products and solutions designed to enhance workshop and service capabilities. With the rise of digitalisation and new energy commercial vehicles reshaping the wider industry, particularly in the commercial vehicle sector, targeted solutions are increasingly required to meet the evolving needs of the mobility and logistics sector. To address these challenges, the show will feature an expanded Commercial Vehicle and Road Transport Equipment Zone, offering a dedicated forum for collaboration and knowledge sharing alongside product demonstrations.
As one of China’s most influential automotive trade exhibitions, AMR has leveraged its prominence in the northern region and extended its reach to the broader national market. The mobility and logistics sector, a major contributor to the national economy, plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth and maintaining supply chains. Consequently, demand for commercial vehicles has surged, especially for inter-city transportation and “last-mile delivery” services that deliver goods directly from distribution hubs to customers. For fleet operators and logistics providers, a robust aftermarket network of services, parts, and components is essential for reducing costs, improving efficiency, and ensuring the safety of drivers, vehicles, and cargo. In response, AMR 2026 will showcase a wider range of exhibitors and host fringe events ranging from skills competitions to professional forums, creating a comprehensive platform to serve the industry.
Reflecting these industry shifts, the expanded Commercial Vehicle and Road Transport Equipment Zone will adopt a new model combining exhibition, forum, and competition areas. The exhibition area will feature driving simulators, smart logistics equipment, leading commercial vehicle models, vehicle inspection equipment, and other products supporting intelligent transportation systems. NEOLIX will debut its L4 autonomous delivery vehicle, highlighting the transformative impact of intelligent technologies on the road transport network. The forum area will gather representatives from organisations such as Anhui Sanlian University, China Communications Press Co Ltd, the Driver Training Branch of the China Communications and Transportation Association, and Eastern Pioneer Driving School, who will share insights on simulator integration in driver education and its role in road safety. Leading technology innovators, including PonyAI, NEOLIX, KargoBot, and StarCharge, will discuss the application of intelligent logistics technologies, while Didi and the Research Institute of Highway from the Ministry of Transport will provide insights on vehicle-road coordination and intelligent transportation.
The competition area will allow visitors to experience driving simulators firsthand. Sanlian Traffic Technologies will host the Ultimate Drive: Full Region Racing Challenge, simulating complex and otherwise unsafe road conditions to enhance professional drivers’ skills and demonstrate how high-quality driver training contributes to emergency response and operational safety. One of the highlights of this edition is the Leading Road Transport Vehicle Evaluation, which aims to establish benchmarks for the commercial vehicle sector. Leading industry organisations will explain the latest standards in safety, efficiency, economic feasibility, comfort, and intelligence, alongside demonstrations of the evaluation process and a showcase of various commercial vehicle models.
AMR 2026 will feature a broad line-up of exhibitors presenting the latest developments in parts, components, and maintenance equipment, covering powertrain systems, chassis components, and key parts for new energy commercial vehicles. This is essential for building a reliable logistics and transportation ecosystem. Notable exhibitors include Wonder Halla, showcasing generators and starter motors for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and construction machinery; Ironstamp, presenting NEV air conditioning and suspension systems compatible with multiple models; Yuhuan Xinkai, displaying high-precision wheels, balance shafts, and durable transmission components; and Zoren, featuring fuel pump assemblies and pumps for air suspension systems. Other exhibitors such as Add Industry, ChaoSheng Autoparts, FKG Bearings, Gold Phoenix, Jinli, Longzhong Holdings, ODM Transmission, Renfeng, Runhope, Shengbao Road, and Yasid Auto Parts will also showcase their products throughout the exhibition.
To facilitate industry collaboration, AMR will host professional organisations and buyer groups from across the value chain, including the Xinjiang Road Transport Association, Liaoning Road Transport Association, and Xinjiang Automotive Aftermarket Chamber of Commerce. These groups will consist of logistics providers, transport companies, and parts distributors, with business matching events designed to promote cooperation between exhibitors and buyers, supporting the adoption of new technologies and products.
The Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo is co-organised by the China Automotive Maintenance Equipment Industry Association (CAMEIA), the China Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (CAMRA), Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, and China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd (Sinomachint). The expo is part of Messe Frankfurt’s global portfolio of around 40 events under its Mobility and Logistics sector.
