Attention turns to AMR as the 2025 edition attracts global leaders offering solutions to stimulate innovative advancements in the aftermarket

Beijing, 20 January 2025. As the world embraces green development, the automotive aftermarket is undergoing a dynamic transformation driven by new energy, AI and digital expansion. In this regard, traditional service providers are not just adapting; they are actively seeking to optimise services, enhance efficiency, and achieve sustainability. To meet these evolving market needs, the 73rd edition of the Auto Maintenance and Repair Expo (AMR) is set to host over 1,200 exhibitors showcasing these achievements across maintenance and repair, parts and components, accessories and customising, aftersales services, and smart transportation. The fair will be held at the Capital International Exhibition Center of China (CIECC) in Beijing from 31 March to 2 April 2025, covering 80,000 sqm across four halls.

With decades of experience serving the aftermarket, AMR has established itself as a leading exhibition, consistently drawing globally-recognised players at the forefront of industry development. In 2025, the show will build upon this strong foundation in traditional maintenance and parts to unite top-tier brands across various sectors, showcasing technological evolution in new energy and digital technologies. By highlighting these cutting-edge advancements, AMR plays a pivotal role in driving industrial innovations and technological transformation, all while promoting sustainable development within the aftermarket.

Spotlighted exhibitors and products for commercial vehicles include:

• Dezhong: a recognised company that develops and produces innovations for engine cooling and heating system products, including expansion tanks, engine hoses, and exhaust valves.

• SKYFIL: featuring automotive filters to optimise engine performance, cost efficiency, and minimise failure rates.

• Luoshi: providing hydraulic and mechanical engine support and Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) solutions, diminishing noise and vibration to elevate the driving experience and minimise discomfort during long journeys.

• SDT: specialising in R&D and production of turbochargers for commercial vehicles, using exhaust gases to drive turbines and increase intake without affecting engine output.

• ADD Industry: a leading manufacturer of vehicle suspension systems, delivering high standard products from design to manufacturing, supported by a skilled team and automated manufacturing processes.

Parts distribution and supply chain solutions

Additionally, as the global landscape shifts, the automotive parts industry faces complex supply chain challenges, requiring product diversification, rapid delivery, and market responsiveness. AMR 2025 will emphasise supply chain breakthroughs, showcasing efficient and flexible solutions to help businesses tackle these challenges and increase their competitiveness in overseas markets.

One company tackling the challenges of the supply chain with innovative solutions is Fast Car Idea, a leading auto parts sourcing platform that covers over 70 percent of the Northeast China market, meeting over 80 percent of repair shop procurement needs with fuel, batteries, and consumables.
