Automechanika KL 2025 Returns with Bigger Showcase
Occupying Halls 1 to 6 with a total area of 12,538 sqm, this year’s show highlights a significantly expanded footprint and a broader focus that reflects the evolving global automotive landscape, from electrification to lifestyle and culture.
More than 310 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions will showcase the latest technologies, products, and services tailored to every corner of the automotive supply chain. As global trends lean into environmental responsibility, Automechanika Kuala Lumpur offers a platform that embraces innovation and sustainability while also celebrating the automotive experience beyond the workshop.
Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, noted that the event has grown from its aftermarket roots to become a vital meeting point for the entire mobility and logistics value chain. “This expansion reflects Malaysia’s rising regional influence, powered by infrastructure growth and economic development. Automechanika Kuala Lumpur now provides strategic access to both domestic and international automotive markets,” she said.
One of the key highlights is the return of the Automotive Mobility Solutions Zone, spotlighting advancements in electrification, digitalisation, AI, and cloud computing aimed at improving supply chain efficiency, customer satisfaction, and sustainable operations. Companies like EV Connection will present their range of EV charging products and services, while Sime Darby will showcase their integrated solutions for industrial and automotive needs.
Across other thematic zones, visitors can explore a rich mix of product categories, from passenger and commercial vehicles to repair and maintenance, body and paint, car care, detailing, fuels, and accessories. The exhibition also embraces outdoor, motorsport, classic car, camping, and caravan lifestyles, creating a holistic experience for all sectors of the industry.
