Hanoi (VNA) - The 22nd International Exhibition on Automotive, Motorcycle, Electric Vehicle and Supporting Industries (Autotech & Accessories 2026) is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City from May 21-24.

The organiser - Asia Trade Fair & Business Promotion JSC (ATFA) - described the event as a strategic convergence point, designed to drive cooperation, innovation, and sustainable growth across Vietnam’s automotive ecosystem and its global counterparts.

Marking its 22nd edition, Autotech & Accessories 2026 will welcome more than 300 exhibitors with over 500 booths from Vietnam and key markets, including China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Taiwan (China). The event will occupy about 10,000 sq.m.

Exhibits will cover a broad spectrum of products and solutions, ranging from complete vehicles, spare parts and components, accessories and vehicle customisation, e-mobility solutions, repair and maintenance services, electrical and electronic systems, transport services, IT and management solutions, to modern service station technologies. The organiser anticipated around 20,000 visitors, including some 5,000 trade professionals.

Complementing the display floor, Autotech & Accessories 2026 will continue to expand its series of business-matching (B2B) sessions, industry-focused seminars, and hands-on side events. Through direct networking sessions, participating exhibitors will be able to seek suitable partners, broaden domestic and international networks, and gain insights into emerging industry technology trends. Various deals are expected to be signed on-site, setting the stage for sustained long-term partnerships.

A key highlight will be the upgraded Innovation Day 2026, established as a reputable platform for researchers and creative minds in the automotive, motorcycle, and supporting industries. Research projects, technological solutions, and innovative ideas will also be connected with businesses, investors, and experts to accelerate real-world application and sector-wide progress.

According to the organiser, as Vietnam’s automotive, motorcycle, electric vehicle, and supporting industries enter a profound transformation, Autotech & Accessories 2026 transcends the role of a conventional trade show. It is designed as a powerful, multi-dimensional connectivity platform that unites manufacturers, enterprises, regulators, technical experts, the innovation community, and international partners.

The event aims to create an open, dynamic environment where groundbreaking ideas, advanced technologies, and high-value collaboration opportunities converge and ultimately translate into concrete business results./.
