Confirmed exhibitors come from 30 countries and regions, including first-time exhibitors from the Czech Republic and Tunisia, to display their products in 160,000 sqm of exhibition space.

The show’s three main product groups are parts and components, repair and maintenance, as well as accessories and tuning sectors. In the first half of 2011, the trading of Chinese vehicles parts and components increased sharply. In this period, the exports of engines and components reached US$ 2302 million, an increase of 38.45 per cent compared to the same period of last year. While the imports increased by 28.5 percent to US$2223 million.

This year, Automechanika Shanghai is going to house 11 overseas pavilions, including first time pavilions from India and Japan.
