Dear Automechanika

exhibitors,

Have you noticed that something is

definitely going on in the “Metropolis

of Mobility”? Take a close look at our

new design and you’ll discover

elements from the commercial vehicle

sector as well as a display with

infotainment icons. Automechanika

is delighted to introduce these and

other new departures for 2014.

In our hall plan on page 13 of thebrochure you’ll find two new product

groups: Parts & Components and

Electronics & Systems. In the latter

group we bring together new devel-

opments from the areas of engine

electronics, vehicle lighting, electrical

systems, comfort electronics, driver

assistance systems and vehicle safety.

The Truck Competence section in

2012 proved a magnet for visitors from

transportation companies, shipping

companies and special vehicle work-

shops. In future, Automechanika

intends to highlight even more clearly

its high level of Truck Competence.

The Accessories & Tuning area is also

expanding its product spectrum. In

addition to tuning solutions, infotain-

ment, accessories (e.g. technical

textiles) and a Clubsport Arena,

suppliers from the special vehicles,

equipment and modifications sector

as well as trailers for cars and com-

mercial vehicles are also accommo-

dated in Hall 4. The fair still maintains

its focus on future themes such as

alternative drive technologies and

professional development and gives

important inspirations to the industry.

In 2012, Automechanika had record

figures of 4,597 exhibitors from

74 countries. A large number of them

have been coming for many years,

for which I should like to take this

opportunity to express my thanks.

I am looking forward to seeing not

only our regular exhibitors again in

2014, but also all those who will be

coming for the first time.

Best wishes,

Olaf Mußhoff

Director Automechanika Frankfurt

Automechanika attracts the leaders of the car

wash business to Frankfurt. And with good

reason. At no other trade fair are car wash

systems shown in action. With its South-West

Outdoor Area, Automechanika offers the largest

exhibition area in the world for these facilities.

In addition to car wash systems, the area also

focuses on equipment for vehicle care andvaleting as well as cleaning agents and acces-

sories. For companies wanting a smaller stage

at the fair, they have for the first time the

opportunity to display their offer in a covered

presentation area. From 2014, the service

station sector will be accommodated separately

in Hall 10.

Another new feature is an accompanying

programme of seminars for car wash operators.

vehicle care – and reserve your place in Car

Wash City to welcome your customers.

A stage for electrifying ideas.

The pioneers of alternative drive technologies

meet at Automechanika.

Automechanika has positioned itself as the

leading trade fair for alternative drive techno-

logies, including electric engines, hybrid

systems, natural gas and LPG. It is also directed

at experts from non-automotive sectors such

as battery manufacturers, energy supply

companies, ICT service providers and vehicle

recharging infrastructure suppliers.

The future of mobility is not just a question

of having the right drive system, but also of

efficient energy supply and innovative building

technology. The entire industry is facing

radical changes and interfaces are being

created with areas that previously had nothing

to do with automotive technology. In a series

of special shows visitors to Automechanika

Frankfurt can experience these developments

at first hand and find out about them in detail.

Make the most of this unique forum to present

your contribution to the theme of alternative

drive technologies. Profile your company with

products and solutions that are not only sus-

tainable but are also practical and affordable

in today’s world.

traditional craftsmanship are excitingly combined here –

repair paintwork and accident repairs to servicing and

diagnostics.

At Automechanika the theme of training and professional

development receives strong support from trade asso-

from industry. Make the most of the opportunity to make

of secondary and vocational schools that are visiting
