Green Repair & New Energy zone advancing the green automotive aftermarket
China is actively promoting green consumption in a number of spaces including the automotive market, which is also shifting the aftermarket towards green and low carbon development. With this in mind, the returning Green Repair & 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 terms of the exhibitors, Suzhou Qiang Li and Wuhan Onew will showcase their spray painting systems, while SATA from Germany and Craftsman (Shanghai) are set to bring their latest coating technologies. Furthermore, Bees Service, a NEV maintenance expert for Tesla, will deep dive into EV battery repair. Guangdong Hongdao, Henan Yingzhirui and Honow (Guangdong) will also present products and technologies in NEV air conditioning and insulated toolkits.
In addition, AMR will stage the National Vocational Skills Competition 2024 at Green Repair & 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.
The competition was initiated by Industry-Education Integration Professional Committee of China Automotive Maintenance Equipment Industry Association (CAMEIA) and various municipal industry associations. It will be organised by the Shandong Automobile Maintenance Equipment Industry Association, Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, and Quangong Vocational Education (Beijing) Technology Co Ltd. The judges will issue awards to the finalists.
