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 the brochure you’ll find two new product groups: Parts & Components and Electronics & Systems. In the latter group we bring together new developments 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 workshops. 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 commercial vehicles are also accommodated 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 MußhoffDirector Automechanika Frankfurt

With the Truck Competence visitor guide Automechanika Frankfurt specifically focuses on the commercial vehicle sector. The Truck Competence logo on your stand brings added visitor attention to your product range.
In particular, it offers a valuable guide for transportation companies, shipping companies, vehicle fleet operators and service centre personnel and enables them to search precisely for those exhibitors and products they want to find. At Automechanika the entire value creation chain for commercial vehicles is represented – from parts, accessories and workshop equipment to bodywork and vehicle care.
Present your commercial vehicle knowhow at Automechanika Frankfurt 2014 – our Truck Competence visitor guide guarantees additional attention from an interested trade audience.

Association (EMMA) will be providing information about the latest trends and solutions for custom retrofitting of entertainment electronics and incar navigation and communication systems – from using smartphones to music and video playback, telephony and the Internet.
Automechanika is the perfect place to find everything to make a vehicle unique and to ensure that driving is as comfortable, safe and fun as possible. Make sure you’re here to present your highlights from this attractive business sector.
There are lots of ways to give your car a distinctive character of its own. One theme area at Automechanika that quickens the pulse of many visitors is Accessories & Tuning in Hall 4. A large number of exhibitors from the following sectors showcase their products here: Clubsport cars, performance systems and design enhancement, auto accessories, special equipment and car safety.

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 SouthWest 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 and valeting as well as cleaning agents and accessories. 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. Find out about the latest developments in 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 technologies, including electric engines, hybrid systems, natural gas and LPG. It is also directed at experts from nonautomotive 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 tech nology. 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 sustainable but are also practical and affordable in today’s world.

The “Who’s Who?” of sustainable mobility.
Visitor guide and prestigious award.
In times of climate change and scarce raw materials there is a demand for technologies that are as environmentally friendly and resourceefficient as possible. Companies that have particularly outstanding credentials in this area are rewarded with an entry in the Green Directory.
The Directory guides Automechanika visitors to exhibitors whose products and services make a significant contribution to environment and climate protection. The selection criteria are so strict that only the best 25 are included. An entry in the directory is the equivalent of an industry award for the company.
Whether you offer alternative drive technologies or material and energyefficient products and processes, don’t miss out on the opportunity of a place in the Green Directory. Enter your ideas for sustainable mobility now.

Informing, inspiring, discussing.Automechanika Academy – knowhow and networking.
The Automechanika Academy is a unique information platform. Presentations, workshops and panel dis cussions provide a wideranging overview of the latest trends and developments in the individual sectors at Automechanika.
A further feature is the series of “elevator speeches” that illuminate a specific technical theme and convey all relevant information in a compact format.
In short, there is plenty of subject matter to ensure fruitful discussions with experts and fellow professionals. Come and be inspired and use the Automechanika Academy for knowledge transfer, sharing of experiences and networking.

Recruit tomorrow’s staff.Training and professional development – creating perspectives for the next generation.
With a total of 90,000 apprentices a year, the automotive industry is Germany’s largest trainer. And that doesn’t take into account the broad spectrum of professional development opportunities. The latest technologies and traditional craftsmanship are excitingly combined here – with subjects ranging from alternative drive technologies, repair paintwork and accident repairs to servicing and diagnostics.
At Automechanika the theme of training and professional development receives strong support from trade associations, institutions, media and, in particular, partners from industry. Make the most of the opportunity to make initial contacts with potential applicants.
We shall be expanding the 2012 concept to include the offer of workshops and trainings at the fair for those wanting professional development opportunities in specific areas.
However, Automechanika Frankfurt also provides the ideal framework for young people who want to find out more about individual occupations in the automotive sector. In 2014, we shall more clearly address the needs of secondary and vocational schools that are visiting the fair.
