About the show

Asia’s Lightweight Automotive Trade Fair is organised around four themes: weight, cost, carbon and efficiency. The floor runs from raw materials — aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys, engineering plastics and composites — through the casting, forging, forming, joining and finishing processes that turn them into body, chassis and interior components.

The show is aimed at the engineers and buyers who decide what a vehicle platform is made of: design and R&D teams at car makers and their tier-one suppliers, component manufacturers, and the design houses and solution providers who work alongside them. Beyond the exhibition, the organisers run automotive-themed programmes through the year, from technical forums and plant visits to buyer matchmaking.
