ABOUT THE FAIR
EQUIP AUTO Paris is one of the leading international trade fairs for the automotive aftermarket and connected mobility in Europe. Since its founding in 1975, it has established itself as a key meeting point for professionals working with innovative solutions and technologies for vehicles, workshops, and mobility services.
Held every two years in autumn at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition center, the event is organized by Comexposium – one of Europe’s largest trade show organizers. With EQUIP AUTO, Comexposium provides not only a marketplace but also a comprehensive network for innovation, professional development, and business exchange.
What sets EQUIP AUTO apart is its holistic representation of the entire value chain in the automotive aftermarket – from bodywork and digital applications to electromobility. Trade visitors gain in-depth insights into current developments such as autonomous driving, connected vehicles, IT-supported workshop solutions, battery technologies, charging infrastructure, and cutting-edge repair and diagnostic tools. Traditional sectors such as spare parts, lubricants, tires, paintwork, and vehicle care are also addressed – always in the context of sustainable, digital, and efficient mobility.
The event program includes expert talks, discussion forums, and live demonstrations that not only inform but also inspire practical application.
Exhibitors represent a wide range of sectors – from parts manufacturers and equipment suppliers to software providers, energy companies, training institutes, and service providers in finance, insurance, and e-commerce. The audience is equally specialized: automotive technicians, workshop owners, buyers, engineers, fleet managers, and decision-makers from industry and trade attend EQUIP AUTO to find targeted solutions for their daily business challenges.
EQUIP AUTO Paris is part of an international exhibition portfolio that includes events in other countries – notably EQUIP AUTO On Tour, which takes place in various French cities, and EQUIP AUTO Algeria. This strengthens the brand’s presence in regional markets and extends its reach far beyond Paris.
As France’s vibrant capital and a major hub of the European automotive industry, Paris offers the ideal setting for such a trade fair. The venue is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport or car. Numerous hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions in the vicinity make the visit a rewarding experience – both professionally and culturally.
With its clear focus on the future of mobility, EQUIP AUTO Paris remains an essential guidepost for the automotive aftermarket – practical, innovative, and forward-looking.
The EQUIP AUTO will take place on 5 days from Tuesday, 12. October to Saturday, 16. October 2027 in Paris.
