The event has been lauded as a rewarding business and engaging lifestyle experience for global and local automotive participants

Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City has been deemed a successful event and rewarding platform for business activities, workshop engagement, and entertaining attractions by participants.
This international affair featured 401 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, and 17,075 visitors from 48 countries and regions.
It served as a two-way gateway for connecting with local OEMs, manufacturers, distributors, traders, wholesalers, retailers, and end-users facilitating business deals, market exploration, brand building and investment opportunities.
To support this collaboration, specialised zones helped attendees grasp the chance to explore technologies and innovations that address trends such as energy transition, digitalisation, connectivity, sustainable practices, and more throughout the value chain.
“The past few days spotlighted the direction in which the market is heading and showcased Vietnam’s vibrant and prosperous automotive industry, which is both embracing and catching up to global trends,” Overseas Director of Yorkers Exhibition Service Vietnam, Akai Lin, said.
“This makes it all the more important that we can provide a platform to host international leaders who can offer solutions to keep Vietnam aligned with development and support a robust automotive ecosystem. Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City has evolved into a comprehensive meeting point for global and local pioneers to network, learn, and enjoy distinct experiences through business activities, workshops, and entertainment.”
Organisers state that participants commended how the fair supported collaboration between local and global industry players.
There was no shortage of opportunities for this, with buyers ranging from countries and regions including Cambodia, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, South Korea, Singapore, USA, and more. Over 60 one-on-one business matching sessions were lined up in the event.
Much of the spotlight at the fair centred on the energy transition, EVs, and related technologies, reflecting trends in the Vietnamese market.
Expanding on forward-looking innovations was the Automotive Mobility Solutions Zone and Conference, which presented upcoming trends in the auto sector in Vietnam and global markets. Developments in logistics efficiency, supply chain operations, new energy vehicle (NEV) adoption, digital solutions, and more, were particularly noteworthy over the three days. Participants praised the opportunities for growth and possible partnerships.
Other specialised zones contained industry-leading companies and include the Parts and Components, Electrics and Electronics, Automotive Repair and Maintenance / Body and Paint / Care and Detailing / Oils, Lubricants and Fuels / Accessories and Customising areas presenting advanced technologies in these sectors. The showcases also catered to regional lifestyle trends by displaying the best in Modified Cars, and Outdoor, Camping, Campervan and Caravan.

Also receiving positive feedback was the fringe programme, which consisted of forums for idea sharing, innovative discussions, skill development, and relaxed networking events.
As part of this, the Collision Repair Training Workshop was recognised as a one-of-a-kind event. Participants, including academia and workshop professionals, appreciated the opportunity to explore and learn the latest techniques and tools for diagnostics and repair, and modern workshop practices by engaging in live demonstrations.
Connecting with end-users was also a source of inspiration at the fair, with autoFEST@HCMC delivering engaging and entertaining experiences designed to celebrate a variety of cultures within the automotive sector.
For example, the Drift and Stunt Show showcased the skills of world-class drifters, and the autoFEST@HCMC Music Party provided a lively atmosphere for fairgoers to connect with one another in an energetic setting for new generations and the future talents of the value chain.
Additionally, the EMMA Vietnam – Car Audio and Modifications Competition and Auto Service Day acted as entry points for industry newcomers.
The next edition of Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will take place from 18 to 20 June 2026. The trade fair is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Chan Chao International Co Ltd and Yorkers Exhibition Service.
