Automechanika Frankfurt — All Editions

Automechanika Frankfurt is the world's leading trade fair for the automotive aftermarket, held every two years at Messe Frankfurt in Germany and the flagship of Messe Frankfurt's global Automechanika network. It covers parts and components, repair and maintenance, tires, workshop equipment, diagnostics, car care and digital service technology on trade-only admission. The 2026 edition drew more than 112,000 trade visitors from 173 countries and 4,400 exhibitors from 80 countries.

The most recent edition ran from 8 to 12 September 2026 at Messe Frankfurt. The organiser's own recap highlights several programme strands: HighTech4Mobility, on software-defined vehicles, ADAS, autonomous driving and cybersecurity; Innovation4Mobility, an expert forum on AI, electromobility and connectivity; the Automechanika Innovation Awards; and Classic Car Business in Hall 11.1, with expert talks and live restoration demonstrations. Recordings of selected presentations were published online afterwards.

Because the show is biennial, the next edition, Automechanika Frankfurt 2028, is listed for 5 to 9 September 2028 at Messe Frankfurt, and the organiser has a save-the-date page for it.
