More companies than ever before will be presenting products and solutions in the field of electromobility at the upcoming Automechanika in Frankfurt, a leading industry platform for the automotive aftermarket, taking place from 10 to 14 September.
This mirrors the rising demand for electric cars and new sales markets offering attractive new business opportunities for industry, workshops and dealers.
“Automechanika Frankfurt is the innovation platform where products and solutions for sustainable and zero emission mobility are presented,” Automechanika Frankfurt Director, Olaf Mußhoff, said.
“That is why we developed two new stage formats – Innovation4Mobility and Future Mobility Park – that have been attracting manufacturers like Genesis and Skoda since 2022 and showcasing all the topics associated with the transformation of the mobility industry.
“This year we are welcoming a remarkable number of manufacturers – including from China – who are offering cutting-edge electric vehicle products and technologies.
“As a result, our B2B visitors from industry, workshops and car dealerships can experience the full range of electric vehicle brands and an impressive display of automotive designs.”
Electromobility means more than just a new drive system. A market for software and electronic components has developed in parallel to the development of electromobility for autonomous, connected, electric and shared (ACES) vehicles.
Software companies and manufacturers of electronic components are already well-represented at Automechanika Frankfurt – this innovative area alone accounts for over 150 exhibitors who will be presenting their products and solutions from the Electrics and Electronics and Connectivity and Autonomous Driving product groups.
In all, over 400 of the companies who have already registered state that they have electric vehicle competence. In fact, 14 of these have submitted their products for the Automechanika Innovation Awards in the category Electromobility and innovative drive technologies.
In addition to this, Michael Johannes, Vice President Mobility and Logistics, introduced a new event called ‘Electrical Vehicle Expo at Automechanika’ (EVA).
“The range of products offered by the industry in the electromobility sector at Automechanika has increased enormously in the last two years, especially in China,” Michael said.
“Automechanika Shanghai, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary at the end of this year, is the perfect example of this.
“The fact that the ‘EVA Expo’ is taking place concurrently at Automechanika Frankfurt this year is a remarkable result of our Chinese colleagues’ exemplary efforts to expand their network. We can thank our partnership with CCPIT-Auto.”
In addition to EV themes, this year’s event will be focusing on sustainability, recruitment and further training, as well as the latest in accident repair and claims management.
All exhibitors and visitors are invited to take advantage of networking areas devoted to the circular economy, remanufacturing, e-commerce and the classic car business, as well as a daily happy hour.
