Across its three days AMR 2024 will showcase products across eight halls in an exhibition space of 100,000 sqm

AMR 2024 is expected to attract more than 1,200 exhibitors from around the world at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) across March 20th to 23rd.
As the mainstay of AMR, the Repair and Maintenance sector will offer expansive coverage of the aftermarket with leading domestic and overseas exhibitors.
The fair will also give more prominence to the Parts and Components sector in line with China’s rapidly growing market needs for electronic, intelligent, lightweight components and NEV components.
The sector will occupy over 40,000 sqm across Halls S11, S12 and S13 and more than 600 leading exhibitors have already confirmed to participate.

Green Repair and New Energy zone advancing the green automotive aftermarket
The returning Green Repair and New Energy zone (Hall S16) will be key in emphasising the value of sustainability in the repair sector.
With an exhibition space of 4,000 sqm for a skills contest, forum, training and independent showcasing, the zone aims to encourage innovative eco-friendly practices. It will focus on maintenance technologies, equipment and materials, as well as products and services related to NEV aftersales, testing, repair and coating.
In addition, AMR will stage the National Vocational Skills Competition 2024 at the Green Repair and New Energy zone to address one of the biggest subjects in the industry – skills development in the rising NEV aftermarket.
The anticipated transition towards the widespread adoption of NEVs also entails establishing national standards across China to ensure that providers offer high quality, safe and efficient services.
From this standpoint, the competition will demonstrate how a number of local brands and vocational institutes are forging ahead with the use of new tools, technologies and green repair solutions. Its aim is to further promote collaboration in education and industry to nurture talent.
It will feature two single contests for the first time, namely the New Energy Vehicle Repairer and Vehicle Paint Finishing. The event calls for contestants from right across the mobility and logistics industry, including experts and students from educational organisations.

Conference themes to deepen cooperation in sustainable development
Alongside AMR 2024, The 6th International Automotive Aftermarket Conference will explore the economic landscape, industry development, technology trends and innovation, providing corporates with valuable insights on future market opportunities. The conference will host leading consultants, parts and components companies, and distributors to discuss green and future-focused strategies for the automotive aftermarket.
Themes will cover cutting-edge trends in the global aftermarket, NEVs in the independent aftersales market, and the transformation of the overseas vehicle market. The conference will analyse the international competitiveness of China’s auto parts companies and explore opportunities in NEV exports to open up new doors for domestic aftermarket enterprises.
Haidong Xu, Deputy Chief Engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, will also give an in-depth overview of China’s automotive market forecast in 2024, with the speech to focus on key factors that promote the sustainable development of the industry by providing strategic market knowledge and approaches to achieve high quality transformation.
Offering an international perspective on the global landscape, analysts from Roland Berger will discuss the independent NEV aftermarket. In addition, the German consulting company, Wolk, will also delve into the 2024 outlook of Europe’s automotive aftermarket.
In addition, The 19th China Automotive Aftermarket Top 20 Awards Ceremony and the 20th Anniversary Celebration will take place at the fairground. The awards celebrate products that demonstrate innovation, practicality and efficiency, holding significant influence in China’s automotive market and attracting the wide attention and participation of the industry.
These events form some of the 30 fringe activities that AMR is organising. Wider topics will cover the likes of NEVs and connected mobility, smart transportation, sustainable development and the use of industrial chemical standards in the automotive industry.
Other featured programmes include the China Motor Vehicle Inspection and Testing Industry Development Seminar 2024, the 3rd Green Repair and Maintenance Industry Forum, and The Automotive Aftersales Terminal Technology Service Innovation and Integration Development Forum.
AMR will also offer New Energy Vehicles Factory Tours. Professional buyers from around the world can visit leading NEV manufacturing plants like FAW Toyota and Lixiang, as well as the C-NCAP crash-safety testing laboratory.
Participants can benefit from an in-depth inspection of some of the most sophisticated automobile manufacturing technologies along the production line and gain an understanding of how rigorous quality inspections can produce high quality NEVs.
