Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City will respond to Vietnam’s rapidly accelerating EV and hybrid industries, which are creating ripple effects on the entire automotive value chain. The show will bring together participants from across the entire automotive value chain, with coverage spanning a comprehensive range of products and showcases for OEMs, logistics, and the aftermarket. Taking place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center from 18 to 20 June, halls A1, A2, B1 and outdoor will reflect the sector’s evolution by featuring leading brands and EV manufacturing pioneers, presenting practical solutions, advanced technologies and end-to-end services.
Ms Fiona Chiew, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, said: “Vietnam’s transition to EVs and hybrids is driving change for the domestic automotive sector, with both national and global carmakers making their impact on the market. Automechanika Ho Chi Minh City 2026 will be a platform where businesses can connect with the technologies and services that will shape this transformation. It will also be a comprehensive platform for international and Vietnamese businesses to connect, share ideas, and forge partnerships.”
Manufacturing, the aftermarket, and talent development must adapt to new technologies arising with the latest generation of vehicles. EV and hybrid vehicle sales reached 162,039 units in Q1 of 2026, up over 36 percent year-on-year,[1] creating expanding opportunities and challenges within the value chain. This growth has been driven by VinFast and BYD, Vietnam and China’s leading automakers respectively. Across the fairground, Vietnam and ASEAN’s domestic strengths and openness to global collaboration will be on display, as the show promotes innovation exchange, knowledge sharing, and meaningful cultural engagement.
