Workshop equipment for every requirement The A to Z of maintenance and repair tools and instrumentation Parts & Components clearly structured for ease of access Electronics & Systems for the first time in Hall 4.1 When it comes to vehicle parts, nothing can touch Automechanika. All the major component manufacturers and suppliers will be represented in Frankfurt, keen to present their innovations on this international stage. One of the clearly discernible trends: electronic components are gaining in importance, a development that is also reflected by the new hall allocation system. Products under the Electronics & Systems heading are to be located for the first time in Hall 4.1. That means that the vehicle parts area will extend over half the floor space of Automechanika Frankfurt. Workshop equipment for repairs, testing, diagnostics and corrective maintenance is showcased at Automechanika with a unique breadth and depth of products and services. No wonder that one in four visitors in 014 were from the workshop sector. There was again particular interest in commercial vehicles and workshop systems and these areas are being further expanded in 016. The offer from Asian exhibitors is being grouped together in the World of Asia and can be found in the Parts & Components and in the Accessories & Customizing product areas at the Agora, in Hall 4. and for the first time in the Repair & Maintenance area in Hall 10.1. 4 5

Showcasing the future of mobility Premiere for Tomorrow s Service & Mobility in Festhalle Frankfurt 1 Matters of importance deserve to take centre stage. In 016, the aftersales world of tomorrow is to be showcased in Festhalle Frankfurt, where visitors will be able to see for themselves how the workshop of the future is likely to look. Through automated, in some cases virtualised processes, customer requirements and vehicle demands are being fulfilled with increasing efficiency and individualisation. Under the spotlight are areas such as Connectivity, Alternative Drives, Automated Driving and Mobility Services. There will be innovations on display that already exist today, as well as those signposting the way towards mobility in the years to come.

Highlights with added value Rewarding ideas, enthralling presentations, new qualifications The Innovation Awards have been around since 16. They are conferred by an expert jury in a total of nine categories. 016 therefore sees the tenth edition of this award series, to which will be added for the first time the Green Award for the most sustainable solution of all entries submitted. The winners enjoy all the benefits of high-level attention, particularly as the awards are a firmly established feature of the opening ceremony. In addition, all the award-winning ideas and products are showcased in a widely acclaimed special exhibition. The Automechanika Academy offers a unique information platform that includes a programme of lectures and presentations. Experts from the sector will be talking about the latest trends in their particular fields at decentralised locations close to different exhibitors. The building, for example, will once again be the venue for the ever-popular Damage Discussion directly opposite Hall 11 where all the Painting products and services are accommodated. Training and professional development will again be an area of focus in 016. With certified workshops and seminars, also available in English, participants to Automechanika Frankfurt will have ample opportunity to add to their qualifications.
