ABOUT THE FAIR
NEAS CHINA – Shanghai International New Energy Vehicle Technology and Eco-chain Expo is an annual trade fair that represents the entire industrial value chain for alternative drive technologies. As one of the leading events in the Asia-Pacific region, it serves as a highly specialized platform for manufacturers, suppliers, developers, and decision-makers from the global automotive industry to engage in direct exchange – all with the shared goal of driving the mobility transition forward.
The event takes place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), one of Asia’s most modern and best-connected exhibition venues. Thanks to its excellent infrastructure and accessibility, it attracts professionals from across the globe. The dynamic metropolis of Shanghai, a frontrunner in China’s shift toward green mobility, provides an ideal setting. NEAS CHINA is organized by INFO Conference & Exhibition Shanghai Co., Ltd., a seasoned exhibition organizer with deep industry ties.
The fair explores the field of alternative propulsion systems in exceptional depth. Topics range from electric motors, battery systems, and hydrogen technologies to electronic control systems, charging infrastructure, lightweight construction, digitalization, autonomous driving, and smart manufacturing. Exhibits include components for passenger cars, commercial and specialty vehicles, battery materials and management systems, cable and thermal management solutions, testing technologies, advanced materials, manufacturing equipment, and Industry 4.0 applications.
The event primarily targets professionals and decision-makers from the automotive and supplier industries, electronics, mechanical engineering, research, energy, and logistics sectors. Exhibitors and visitors come from all major industrial nations – including Germany, Japan, South Korea, the USA, the UK, France, and Italy – creating a high-level international exchange that positions Shanghai as a bridge between global innovation and Chinese manufacturing excellence.
A particular highlight of the expo is its lineup of over 20 high-profile forums, where key industry topics such as carbon neutrality, battery innovation, automotive semiconductors, zero-emission manufacturing, and smart charging are explored. NEAS CHINA thus acts not only as a showcase but also as a think tank for the future of mobility.
As part of a strategic initiative to promote sustainable drive technologies in China, NEAS CHINA exemplifies the rapid development of a sector seen as the backbone of the future automotive economy. It serves not only as a marketplace and innovation hub but also as a driver of sustainable development and modernization in the global automotive industry.
Located in a central area, the SNIEC is easily accessible via public transportation and just 30 minutes from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure and expansive exhibition space, it offers ideal conditions for international trade shows. Shanghai itself is a vibrant innovation hub – technologically, economically, and culturally – making it the perfect host city for an event dedicated to the future of mobility.
This year the NEAS CHINA takes place on 3 days from Wed., 12.08.2026 to Fri., 14.08.2026 in Shanghai already for the 16th time.
