Harnessing Beijing’s resources in a new venue
Over the decades, AMR has dedicated resources to advance the automotive aftermarket. By offering comprehensive services and keeping pace with industry developments, the fair has gained broad recognition from participants. In response to the needs and the call from various stakeholders, AMR 2025 will return to Beijing, taking place in the recently opened Beijing New International Exhibition Center Phase II, which is equipped with latest exhibition facilities. Serving as a professional service platform for sourcing, information exchange, education, and collaboration, AMR will leverage Beijing’s strategic position to drive international trade in the aftermarket and foster global industry growth. With a robust audience base across Asia Pacific, the show will also enhance the level of promotion in Central Asia and Eastern Europe to help companies capitalise on opportunities along the Belt and Road, one of China’s key economic strategies.

Innovating within established sectors

This edition of AMR will span across 100,000 sqm in four halls, featuring cutting-edge technologies along the supply chain. The Repair & Maintenance sector will cover testing and diagnostics, body and paint, general and specialised tools, repair equipment for tyres, car wash and care, in addition to a focus on breakthroughs in new energy vehicles and green repair. The well-received Green Repair & New Energy zone will return with green maintenance equipment, technologies and solutions, emphasising standardisation in workshop environments, particularly in relation to new energy vehicle maintenance, intelligent spray-painting robots, and digital upgrades. Participants will gain insights into sustainable aftersales services with green technology, as well as digital solutions for enhancing efficiency and reducing waste.

The scale of the Parts & Components sector (Halls B1 and B2) will further expand to encompass parts and components, as well as electronics and connectivity. It will amplify commercial vehicle parts, showcasing body, chassis, powertrain, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical and drivetrain systems, as well as electric motors, power systems, drive controllers, and network communication systems for new energy commercial vehicles. By attracting professionals from OEMs, logistics companies and fleets, the show will produce more business prospects for exhibitors in the commercial vehicle market. 

Additionally, the Accessories & Customising sector will showcase a full range of product offerings, including interior and exterior accessories, car wraps, as well as chassis, suspension, power modifications, tyres, and wheels to improve vehicle handling 

Spotlighting vehicle-road collaboration in road transportation
The Road Transportation Equipment zone will feature advancements in smart transportation solutions, unveiling the potential of vehicle-to-road technologies with displays for commercial vehicles, special vehicles, simulation equipment, cargo systems, safety facilities, testing equipment, and smart management systems. Leading companies will present high-tech products related to simulated driving, traffic safety, and intelligent management. In addition, the debut of load securing equipment is poised to support the logistics and transportation industry.

Elsewhere, the zone will host the Safety Driving and Smart Transportation Forum, along with the release of new teaching materials and policies for safe driving. The combination of a showcase area and forum stage expects to unite local commercial vehicle manufacturers, public transportation groups, logistics companies, traffic management departments, research institutions, and driving institutions. The aim is to connect a wider range of participants for cross collaboration amongst these parties.

Industry and education integration
Following the successful introduction of the National Vocational Skills Competition 2024, New Energy Vehicle Repairer and Vehicle Paint Finishing, the upcoming edition will continue to hold a series of skill competitions for new energy vehicle maintenance, sheet metal painting, tyre repair, and connectivity. These contests intend to attract hundreds of professionals and vocational institutes to demonstrate practical skills with advanced technologies.

Additionally, the events will help exhibitors improve brand awareness and present products as an upswing of practical demonstrations on the show floor. These activities are amongst a handful of interactive experiences that AMR offers for visitor engagement and business exchange.
