This year, the Frankfurt trade fair for the international automotive industry will take place as Automechanika Digital Plus with a reduced exhibition space and expanded digital offerings. The agenda includes online broadcasts of workshops, panel discussions, and interactive live events.
The ZDK will be represented on-site and will inform visitors in Hall 3 about the three main topics: green fuels, AÜK (accredited inspection in the automotive industry)/technical vehicle monitoring, and the workshop of the future. According to the press release, all these events will also be livestreamed and available as videos on YouTube, making them easily accessible to automotive entrepreneurs and workshop employees.
Tuesday, September 14: Green Fuels and Drives in Practice, with lecture and discussion
On the first day of the trade fair, green fuels and drives will be presented at stands D80 and D86 in Hall 3. In the workshop area located in the same hall at stand D91, work on vehicles with fuel cells and hydrogen tanks will be demonstrated, with audience questions being answered live and online. Subsequently, a lecture on hydrogen and methane as energy carriers is scheduled. Additionally, discussions with politicians and experts from various parties and automotive associations will explore how the EU's climate goals can be achieved.
Wednesday, September 15: AÜK and Technical Vehicle Inspection, with Interview and Discussion
On the topic of Accredited Vehicle Inspection (AÜK) and Technical Vehicle Surveillance, the ZDK will demonstrate the future process of particle number measurement (PN) in emissions testing (AU) on the second day of the fair in a workshop, introduce the necessary measuring and testing devices, and provide information about available maintenance and calibration service offerings.
ZDK Vice President and Federal Guild Master Wilhelm Hülsdonk will explain the future of workshop inspections and tests within the scope of AÜK in an interview. Additionally, there will be a panel discussion with practitioners and experts on AÜK and the results of accreditation, where automotive businesses will also be informed about the correct cost calculation of workshop inspections and marketing opportunities.
Thursday, September 16: "Qualified Auto Repair Shops Soon Redundant?" Diagnosis and Data Collection
On the final day of the fair, the focus will be on the workshop of the future. A discussion titled "Are qualified auto repair shops soon redundant?" featuring representatives from automotive associations and politics will be central. Additionally, the "Auto Doctors" Holger Parsch and Hans-Jürgen Faul will address current issues in vehicle diagnostics and tackle the topic of future access regulations to vehicle and customer data.
What does this mean?
Even Automechanika and its exhibitors are evolving towards digitization and CO2 neutrality.
