15 May 2025 – Following the successful 2024 event, AutoTechnica is preparing for its next edition at Brussels Expo. The trade fair will once again be the meeting place for automotive professionals from 29 to 31 March 2026. For three days, it will be all about current developments, information sharing and networking among a wide range of representatives from the aftersales and mobility sector.

AutoTechnica is the Benelux’s leading trade fair for the automotive and aftersales sectors. During the 2024 event, the fair welcomed numerous leading brands and international players. This confirmed AutoTechnica’s position as the fourth largest aftermarket trade fair in its field. AutoTechnica is the trade fair where innovation, networking and business opportunities come together for independent garages, brand distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, damage repair companies, tyre specialists, transport companies and fleet owners.

“AutoTechnica 2026 will build on the success of the previous edition. There is great enthusiasm, as the first registrations have already been received, which once again confirms confidence in our concept. We’re not aiming to be the largest automotive trade fair, but we do want to be the best,” says Klaus Van Cauwenberghe, organiser of AutoTechnica.

New at AutoTechnica 2026
Michel Gillard, General Secretary of Federatie Automateriaal (automotive materials federation) (TRAXIO), adds: “AutoTechnica is organised by Federatie Automateriaal, and together with our members, we have developed a slew of new initiatives. We are delighted with our members’ response, and I am already looking forward to AutoTechnica 2026.”

What’s new:

• Tools & Tools – At the request of the sector, the trade fair for multi-industry professional tools will take place at the same time as AutoTechnica in Hall 9.

• Road Assistance – The latest innovations in breakdown assistance and mobility.

• Car Wash Day – Everything about car wash technology and vehicle detailing.

• Second Life Day – Focus on used vehicles, service, and remarketing.

• HR & Education Day – The latest developments in training, recruitment, and changing skills in the sector.

The Mobility Talks will also be back on the agenda: inspiring talks and panel discussions with experts on the future of mobility and technology.
